I will not belabor this substance, I will however say that I purchase most of my stuff on Amazon, contrary to the thinking of a few here. If you read a few of the "personal anecdotes" at Amazon you will find some persons who "believe" that it stops them from burning.... no not that kind of burning, the sunshine kind. Reading the personal reviews at Amazon is not a way to judge a substance, it is a good way to get an idea of what might be possible in a non toxic and health promoting way.

Clip: Raw Astaxanthin is primarily grown in four areas: Hawaii (through Cyanotech), Israel (through Algatech), Mexico (through Piveg), and Sweden (through Fuji Health Science). Almost all neutraceutical companies that sell Astaxanthin acquire their Astaxanthin from one of these four suppliers.
Clip: One of the other intriguing things that inspired me to buy this supplement was its almost miraculous skin protection from the sun. Before buying I researched clinical studies available online and I was quite impressed. The stats seemed incontrovertible. After 10 months of use I can contribute first hand experience. I am retired. After 40 years I recently moved from sunny southern California, to sunny and off the charts hot Phoenix Arizona. I arrived here in April last year at the very beginning of the traditionally brutally hot Phoenix summer.
In CA I rode a bicycle a minimum of 7 miles per day every day of the week for overall health benefits and enjoyment. By the time I arrived here though my strength and stamina had increased to the point where I was riding a minimum of 15 miles per day every day. The sun here is relentless and daily summer temps averaged 112 and above! The increased intensity of the sun here compared to CA (irrespective of temps) became quite obvious and within weeks of riding here I realized I was putting my skin more at risk than ever before.
