lycopene, astaxanthin and beta carotene

Mark as solution.

dont do carotenoids

High dose beta carotene for your skin is a very poor idea.Some people in the looksmaxxing space intentionally eat tons of beta-carotene (carrots, sweet potatoes, juices) to turn their skin orange because they think it looks more attractive.The thing with beta carotene is that it is not active vitamin A and must be converted into retinol.This conversion relies on your thyroid (especially T3)In short what this means is that: if you are actually turning orange from lots of beta carotene that is a sign of hypothyroid and poor metabolism, this is NOT what we want to see whatsoever.This is why carotenemia has long been associated with hypothyroidism, and why doctors will immediately check one’s thyroid when they present with carotenemia.Treating low thyroid often clears the orange color without changing the diet.This is not to say beta carotene is inherently toxic, but if your beta carotene protocol is “working” it is inherently a bad sign for your thyroid health.On top of this a lot of beta carotene rich foods also have notable oxalate content, which oxalate crystals also can build up in the thyroid and inhibit its efficiency.One study found that 85% of people aged 30+ had oxalate crystals in the thyroid.I am not a ray peat follower whatsoever, but I agree with him on many things such as seed oils, beta carotene, etcThe thyroid is extremely important and eating lots of carrots or sweet potato’s will not be conducive to maximizing it.

this is faceiq explaining

also dont do tanning drops. just go in the sun and eat naturally

Valid reasoning and I also read the study about these oxalates(and all the other anti Nutrients) but if you take it as a supplement and live a healthy lifestyle taking 15mg beta carotene a day will not have any bad effects

If thyroid health is poor then conversion of beta carotene will slow down and you will store more of it in your skin fat, this does not mean that beta carotene is causing the poor thyroid. You will turn orange regardless it just might take longer/higher dose if your thyroid is healthy and vice versa. Also beta-carotene being stored in your fat is not toxic.

get it naturally through a vegatable juice instead of toxic supplements if you are to take it.

explain how it isnt toxic

explain how it isnt toxic

any toxicity is about your oxidative chemistry (such as usage among smokers) not the fat storage itself

Aight but what’s wrong with tan drops? I don’t wanna age in the sun

Why did bro unmark my post as solution

As for tanning drops, just use them

isle of paradise drops are the best

use tanning drops in winter and you can try out mt1/2 in spring and summer when there's sun. I wouldn't recommend using tanning beds.

And just use carotenoids all year round to improve undertones.

you dont age in the sun are we actually retarded

if you are in the sun and have a healthy primal diet you wont burn if you limit your exposure to time that you wont get burnt in. very simple. gradual tan and you can never actually burn in the sun with the diet,

also

getting burnt isnt inherently bad and is actually better than staying low melanin like a beta cuck

toxins bind to your fat
