when i first started. i think it took around 8 months to see a difference. now i don't think I've gotten that much better coloring wise just matience, i wanted more so i started taking axistanahan or whatever its called. which i think is basically beta carotine v2. supports eyesight and makes u more orange

Should be a looks plus since dht eats hair. I dont think it has the same DHT reducing effect as finasteride so should be safe

It's astaxanthin, what he meant. He just can't write.
 
is it better than beta carotene

For what purpose?

Nowadays every day I take 24 mg astaxanthin, 40 mg lycopene and 25 000 NE beta carotene. (Usually 1 pill contains this amount of beta carotene). It's mostly for tanning, but it probably helps with health too. After (and if) I got a nice tan from this after 2-3 months, I will lower the amount of astaxanthin to 16 or 8 mg.

I took 100 000 (so 4 pills) for 2 months, but my gf told me after, that I look like a carrot. I mean my facial coloring. I was very orange. So I think that's too much. But they say a mix of astaxanthin, lycopene, beta carotene gives a nice carotenoid tan, which will be especially very visible, if you were pale before.

Beta carotene. Lycopene. Astaxanthin. In the doses I mentioned. If you got the golden coloring after a few months, you can lower the doses.

I personally don't recommend eating more, than 25k beta carotene, because it will simply turn you "carrot" colored on its own.
