Best affect on my body, and pleasant coconut taste.
This is my favorite brand of Astaxanthin. I am a tow truck driver and my body gets real sore and feels like it is beat up from the long hours and physical work. I noticed that taking Astaxanthin makes the pain go way down. I first started taking it when I learned it powerful as an antioxidant. But I noticed that it not only gave me the antioxidant results of not getting nailed by colds, but it made my body go from a always painful state to just sore. I did a little research and found that people with all kinds of muscle and nerve problems have the same result.
I have tried 6 brands now and Sports Research is my favorite. Some are fishy tasting and come back on you like cheap fish oil supplements. Sports Research brand, only has a coconut tast and smell from an occasional burp. Also, because they use the highest quality AstaReal brand harvested astaxanthin I know it is not loaded with toxins. I also notice being in far less pain with Sports Research brand, I assume because of their pairing it with coconut oil for better absorption. I have tried other brands instead 3 times to save $5 or $6 and each time notice the lessened effect on my body.
I am staying with Sports Research brand from here on out.
