Subject : Astaxanthin** supplement
As a lot of guys and gals on the forum are on HRT:TRT and/or Use PED’s for Sports, Competition, recreational, and quality of life; I am always researching nutritional supplements, medications that are unapproved, past-current-future research status around the world that may or may not be safe, beneficial, or worthless. Disclaimer: The information is just for informational purposes only. Anyone should consult their healthcare practitioner before starting any new exercise program, nutritional supplement, or unknown substance of any kind. USP and NSF are third party organizations in the USA and Abroad to make sure the companies are meeting the label claim and do not contain harmful contaminants.
It is very expensive to have the US pharmacopoeia or NSF International organizations to come and test, verify just one, single supplement, let alone a whole line of products. Even if they do use these organizations, it does not and cannot confirm or deny any other information or claims. It is good to note and also check for fake counterfeit labels with fake certifications or make claims that seem off. I like to check with private 3rd party watchdog companies for the supplement industry. The FDA will not allow the label of a dietary supplement to state that the product can be used for diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of a condition or disorder. The top 5 independent supplement testing services are:
1. NSF International
* NSF GMP for sport
2. US Pharmacopeia (USP)
3. TGA Approved
4. IFOS & IKOS
5. Consumer Lab
Here are a few good .com websites to reference :
Labdoor.com , Consumerlab.com , Consumerreports.org
So I have casually heard about astaxanthin over the years along with a ton of other products, after seeing a few nutraceutical giants getting a patent on any highly researched product such as Creapure
for Creatine or Qunol
for Q10 , on and on.
ASTAXANTHIN : is a reddish pigment that belongs to a group of chemicals called cartenoids, which belong to a larger class of compounds callled terpenes. It occurs naturally in certain algae and causes the pink or red color in salmon, trout, lobster, shrimp, and other seafood. It is an antioxidant which can protect cells from damage.
There are many studies and claims about astaxanthin and
Two good places to read any studies are researchgate.net and ncbi.nlm.nih.gov , also reading about compounds and breaking down the science and structure of whatever you want to look up. Other sites I use are: Pubmed , chemspider , and google patents.
Here are two sources if you are interested in this compound. I am good to start using it as it was given to me and it is really cheap. What spiked my interest were that huge supp/nutraceutical/f-arm a ceut ical
along with the FDA cannot hide obvious benefits, like fish oil. They deny, deny Zfje centuries and then after so much research has been done they make their own version. Lmao

Announced US Patent on AstaZine
Natural Astaxanthin in the areas of Cardiovascular Health and Athletic Support
January 13th, 2021
Irvine, California, January 13, 2021 – (***) announces that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued a patent to BGG for the use of *Astaxanthin* to support heart function during exercise (US Patent #10,827,775).* This patent with far-ranging potential for both cardiovascular health as well as for athletes and active people is based on an innovative clinical trial* sponsored by BGG in amateur athletes preparing for a half marathon.* Results found that subjects in the treatment group taking BGG’s AstaZine
Natural Astaxanthin experienced heart rates on average 10% lower during endurance training than the placebo group.* Shawn Talbott, lead researcher in this groundbreaking study, noted, “the subjects in this study were able to perform the same amount of ‘work’—but at lower cardiovascular ‘strain’ after supplementing with Astaxanthin.”* Dr. Talbott pointed out the far-ranging potential applications for AstaZine
based on this study, and encouraged further similar research in diverse populations such as those suffering from cardiovascular disease and the elderly.*
Lead inventor of the US patent and *** Global Chief Scientific Officer, Yanmei Li, PhD, commented, “***focuses on innovation by dedicating 5% of gross revenue to R&D.* As a prime example of this policy, we are one of only a very small handful of Astaxanthin producers sponsoring clinical research to validate our product, and have published several Astaxanthin clinical studies over the last few years.* This patent is another example of how ***supports our customers through our investment in research and constant innovation; we’ve successfully opened up a whole new area of health benefits for our Astaxanthin customers to focus on.”*
Studies ongoing , reference below. I recommend researching.
* Talbott, S., Hantla, D., Capelli, B., Ding, L., Li, Y., Artaria, C.* (2017).* “Effect of Astaxanthin Supplementation on* Cardiorespiratory Function in Runners.”* EC Nutrition 11.6 (2017): 253- 259.*
