I have been taking 30mg of Beta-carotene, 24mg of Astaxanthin, 50mg of Lutein and 20mg Lycopene everyday for the past 40 days and my skin complexion/coloring has actually improved and i have a nice healthy glow without having to step into the sun, which is obv more ideal since UVA and UVB rays break down the natural collagen in your skin.

However ive seen a lot retards claiming on here that supposedly megadosing Carotenoids is cope. But i think they are just too dumb to dome some research since just like with pretty much every other supplement it matters alot how and when you take it. Ignoring that will tank bioavailability and make sure you aint getting the benefits you'll be wanting. Also taking low dose supplements like for example 10 mg of beta carotene and 6mg of astaxanthin wont do jack shit you need more of coloring.

You dont wanna take any of the Carotenoids on an empty Stomach/without any dietary fat. All four are fat-soluble so they all need dietary fat for absorption.
Another thing is if for example you take all Carotenoids at the same time they will be competing for the same absorption pathways which reduces how much of each one actually gets into your bloodstream especially when taken without enough dietary fat or at high isolated doses. For exmple Lutein reduced beta-carotene absorption when taken simultaneously, just like how beta-carotene compete with lutein and lycopene for absorption when consumed together. So you wanna space the em out throughout the day for example how i do it:

I take Astaxanthin in the morning together with some omega 3 fish oil capsules (also my Astaxanthin comes in oil capsules as well so it doesnt really matter for this one if i have a meal or nah).
Then i take beta carotene with lunch and lutein when i eat dinner.
Lycopene i take before i go to bed.

So main takeway is if you want to get visible results from Carotenoids you need to first of all megadose, split the timing of each intake and make sure to take them with a fatty meal or at least a tablespoon of oil or fish oils caps.

pics ? before/after
havent taken any yet, i think the difference is subtle but visible it not like a full blown tan from hours under the sun but kinda sun kissed if you know what i mean. Its obviously only really worth it if youre white/pale but also you get a little bit of "natural" sun protection from the Carotenoids since they are internal antioxidants
 
just tan bro, tan unironically ascended me gigahard and it's zero effort

the sun is literally the devil ages you like crazy. sun damage is literally responsible for 80–90% of visible facial aging.

no because you dont wanna age your self. The sun literally causes the majority of visible aging especially collagen loss through its UV radiation

even with spf and uv protection you could tan, not as fast tho

tanning is literally you body's response to skin damage from UV. Your cells are scrambling to block radiation after DNA hits from the Sun.
Tanning is not healthy in any shape or form, if you tan with UV protection on that means your skin is still being damaged since Melanin production only ramps up if your cells detect DNA damage
 
Imaging secretly lacing the food of brown people with this stuff.

more important than the tan the hue that it gives your undertones is crazy literally an ethereal glow
