Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I take astaxanthin, and zeaxanthin, to help ward off macular degeneration as my father had it and he went completely blind, and now 2 of my 3 sisters have been diagnosed with it. There is no cure for this awful disease. About a year after I started taking 12mg/day of astaxanthin my prescription eyesight improved from -6.00, which I had for 40 years, to now a -5.50. Not a big improvement but definitely in the right direction. Astaxanthin not only helps with vision, but is one of the most powerful carotenoids you can take. It also helps moisturize your skin, making it softer, reducing facial wrinkles as it has done for me, and helps reduce UV damage. It helps with reducing pain and inflammation, has anti-cancer protection, reduces cholesterol, protects the heart, and reduces the likelihood of dementia and Alzheimer's. It's hard to believe that this small capsule has all of these health benefits. Your doctor will never advise you to take this because he's not allowed to (not a prescription or OTC med). He probably has never heard of it either. Why take chemical-laced prescription meds, with side effects, when you can take far healthier natural remedies? I strongly encourage you to research the benefits that astaxanthin can provide for your particular situation. I think you will be amazed. With blue light from digital devices and the sun constantly bombarding our eyes, which can cause macular degeneration later in life, as well as all of the other tremendous health benefits astaxanthin can provide, everyone should be taking this supplement, especially if you're 50+.
