Does Astaxanthin significantly lower DHT?

[itzxcolin]

Thinking about taking 12-24mg/day. I'm 17 tho, so don't want to lower my DHT enough where im messing with my puberty. Anyone know if this is an actual concern?

Slightly. Taking MT2 to build up a base tan while stacking Astaxanathin, Lycopene, and beta carotene so I can minimize UV damage

tan looks much better than mt2 you look like a rosted turkey with the latter. Tan in the evenings so that UV is minimised and you get a higher proportion of red light which is theraupetic

Confused what you mean. Your saying don't take MT2? Or build up a real tan instead of taking supplements. Or both?

Id avoid mt2. See how a slight tan looks, it looks much more realistic and gives you a golden glow while mt2 just makes you darker

I can barely tan naturally though. Isn't a tan with MT2 a natural tan, just your body increasing its melanin production? So it should look natural ?

This doesnt look natural and even somewhat ugly imo

Yea for sure, I agree. I’m just taking a small MT2 dose to allow my body to tan naturally since I can’t, so I can build up a base tan + stack supplements so I can end up with a good color. Or should I just exclusively use supplements? (Astaxanathin, lycopene, etc)

Nah I’m irish and just naturally pale asf. (not ginger tho lmao). When I try to tan I just burn and don’t really change color. I can get a slight bit of color in the summer when I build it up over a long period of time but it’s barely anything. And in the winter i’m back to a ghost

Try taking two aspirins before you tan outside, it really helps. And always build up. First day 5 minutes outside, second day 10 , third day 15, fourth day rest, fifth day 20 etc
