Beta-carotene is very legit (with results)

[Gargantuan]

I met up with my best friend last Saturday (I had not seen him since early March, mind you) and he asked me if I had been tanning due to my skin looking significantly more reddish/orange (I used to be kinda pale tbh).
However, I never did, it was purely down to the fact that I've been taking beta-carotene for nearly 3 months straight now, on a daily basis.

Truly a great supplement. Mogs astaxanthin as far as I'm concerned, which is far more expensive and ineffective anyway.

Edit: The results are posted further down below in this thread

[Patrick Baitman]

I'm too much of an alpha to take this

dosage?

The one I ordered and use: 7,500 mcg softgels > 25,000 IU

Beta-Carotene 25,000 IU 100 Softgels | Beta Carotene Supplements| Puritan's Pride

Buy Beta-Carotene 25,000 IU 100 Softgels & other Beta Carotene. Beta Carotene is a provitamin which helps maintain eye health and supports immune system.*

www.puritan.com

I used to take 2 softgels daily for 2+ months so that's the equivalent of 50,000 IU.
However, 1/2 weeks ago I doubled up the dosage and I take 4 a day now, so 100,000 IU.

do you think it would do anything to someone with mulatto complexion?

and how long did it take to see good results?

 

[FBI]

Would combining beta carotene with astaxanthin provide better results?

Btw puritan mis-converts the mcg to IU content, youre actually taking 50,000IU

 

[Gargantuan]

Wouldn't hurt to try, I guess, you might get good results.
I started to see good results roughly 6 weeks in.

I tried that but I ditched astaxanthin after a month and it has not hurt my progress whatsoever as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I'm white. You're probably a good candidate as well since you're light-skinned.

Ah, I see

 

[Lars]

Lol you take 4 now a Day did alot change when you did that (i take only 2)

Haven't noticed any significant changes since I doubled the dosage tbh.
I think 2 a day is plenty, I improved the most with that dosage.

 

[Gazzamogga]

update?

 

[Gargantuan]

update?

April this year (before I started my beta-carotene routine) in comparison to September of this year

Skin quality may not be optimal as of right now, but beta-carotene has pretty much eliminated my paleness.

i use both. I started with beta-carotene firt. But got impatient after like 1 month with limited results. so I added asthaxanthin to the mixx.
astaxanthin is hell expensive though.

 

[Merlix]

Anything over 30k iu may be toxic over time. Be careful. I take 30k iu and notice slight results.

 

[EverythingMattersCel]

Eat 200 - 300g of carrots. Mogs the supplement form.

Yes, it's very cheap indeed. But more importantly, it gets the job done at the end of the day. That's all I care for tbh.

srsly?

 

[The Bleach Pill]

ive only seen minor changes. MT2 or death tbh

 

[Lars]

still using 4 a day?

 

[betamanlet]

Pretty retarded to supplement for 10k IU beta-carotene when you can eat one raw carrot and get the same amount plus additional nutrients.

 

[Gargantuan]

For how long did you take it, and what was the dosage?

And yes, individual results may vary, mostly depending on your base (skin tone).
I had a pale base, so for me, it was actually very effective.

 

[Gargantuan]

still using 4 a day?

No, I've cut it down to 2 daily again.

 

[Lars]

No, I've cut it down to 2 daily again.

nice yeah i was always on 2 a day do you think that 4 times a day is worth it? or do i die if i take too much

Don't see what's retarded about it, honestly.
It's an easy and extremely cheap looksmax, and all you have to do for it is swallow 2-4 softgels daily for a few months.
But if you prefer eating carrots on a daily basis, you do you.

Why would anyone prefer eating softgels with toxic additives to real food?

 

[JackSparrow]

Because carrots taste fucking nasty

 

[Gargantuan]

Might be overkill, but on the other hand, I did it for a while and it didn't give me any issues whatsoever haha.
So if you wanna give it a go, you should be safe.

 

[betamanlet]

Just dip them in syrup and they'll be like anything else you eat.

Muh toxic additives
How do you know actual food is safe and not sprayed with hazardous pesticides and other chemicals?

Nothing is 100% safe these days.

The relative amounts and consequences of additives in food are marginal compared to supplements. In addition, natural foods will contain compounds (many of which are yet to be identified) that protect you from toxins, whereas supplements do not. The problem with generous use of supplements can become so great that many develop actual health problems from using them. Many physicians will ask their patient to stop using any supplements before further treatment procedures, because there is a strong chance that their ailments will cease after they stop using supplements.

Is there any before and after of someone that just ate carrots for skin?

Is fat soluble b. Do this but also with a saturated fat source for absorption + testosterone gains.
