In this video he says it's not safe in the 9 minute point.





Here is the script of what he said can cause side effects.

Side Effects

If you’re dealing with a bleeding disorder or using blood-thinning medication you should not use Astaxanthin.

If you are diabetic or hypoglycemic you must use Astaxanthin with caution. Monitor your blood glucose levels closely and adjust your medications accordingly.

Astaxanthin may also lower your blood pressure. If you’re using natural or prescription medication that lowers blood pressure, be careful while using Astaxanthin.[xxvi]

If you are using 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors for an enlarged prostate or hair loss, I don’t recommend using Astaxanthin.

Because Astaxanthin may inhibit the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Possibly resulting in low libido, enlarged breasts, decreased semen quantity during ejaculation, impotence, increased skin pigmentation, hair growth, weight gain, and depression.

And if you are hypersensitive to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors should completely avoid Astaxanthin.[xxvii]

You should NOT use Astaxanthin if you have autoimmune disorders, are on immunosuppressors, have hypocalcemia, osteoporosis, or have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Astaxanthin or related carotenoids.

And if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding you should avoid using Astaxanthin.

Some may experience milder side effects like abdominal pain and cramping.

As a nootropic, Astaxanthin dosages are low. More IS NOT BETTER and will more than likely cause serious health issues.

I bought 10 mg pills from Amazon and I'm thinking of only taking it once every three days while on 0.5 mg of daily finasteride.
 
Astaxanathin dosen't really do anything tbh I don't recommend it it's too expensive get lycopene instead

idk if it lowers DHT there was one study but they were taking saw palmetto also

Thank you for telling me about lycopene, I haven't tried it yet.

Astaxanthin and fin or lycopene and fin? Hopefully that guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

I got the 10 mg capsules, so I will only take them twice or three times a week to be safe. I heard Astaxanthin stays in your system for 100 hours so you don't have to take it daily.

Based you didn't get any side effects, but too bad you don't see any positive results from taking it.

I thought that's why you take it? for a red skin tone

No, I want to take Astaxanthin because it makes you less sensitive to the sun and has powerful anti oxidant effects, and is thousands of times better than vitamin C and A. The guy in the video talks about the benefits in the beginning.

ok I believe other carotenoids also make you less sensitive to the sun

I was talking about helping my skin tone which it hasn't, my skin is very sensitive to the sun and it may have improved since taking asta im not sure, im also taking beta carotene

Astaxanthin is supposed to be the best out of the caretenoids at protecting your skin from sun exposure. I didn't read anything that says it changes your skin tone, but I think it can make your face lose some wrinkles.
