Sports Research Icelandic Astaxanthin 6mg Softgels

Well packaged and no smell. Sports Research has an area in their website where you can input the lot # of your bottle and you can find its lab tests of that batch, which is very useful. The Astaxanthin they use comes from Iceland from microalgae. This is good since it's a very pure form with little contaminants. I personally use this product for overall skin and eye health - it helps with sun exposure (but you still need sunscreen) and I've found this product to also help with tired, dry eyes after a long session at the computer. The amount of softgels you get versus the price is a pretty good value, and taking just 1 softgel with a meal is very convenient. Highly recommended.

I bought this at the recommendation of a friend who stated it works for joint and muscle aches. He used to sell supplements and he said he only believes in a couple. Astaxanthin (specifically Sport Research) being one of them. He told me the astaxanthin would take about a month to kick in. I took 12mg a day for three weeks. Then like some mystical magic, my eyesight changed. Everything seemed brighter and crisper. I told my friend who recommended astaxanthin, and he said better eyesight was a side effect (at the time I started taking these, the company did not make any claim to better eyesight). More importantly, my knee pain seemed to lessen over time and the creaking noise they made disappeared. I definitely recommend these to everyone I know.

Buy one bottle and in two months nothing happens, you're out a few dollars. Plus side, your joints are better and your eyesight improves.

Astaxanthin has excellent benefits for eye-strain due to screen time. I take a different eye health combo, which comes up a little short on this ingredient. This small size vegetarian soft gel is an easy add-on. Since starting it, I have definitely noticed an improvement.
