Sports Research Triple Strength Vegan Astaxanthin Supplement from Algae - Plant Based Softgels for Antioxidant Activity, Skin & Eye Health - Non-GMO Verified, Made with Coconut Oil - 12mg, 60 Count

Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant with potential benefits for eye health, skin health, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function.High quality, with organic extra virgin coconut oil as a beneficial ingredient. Significant improvements in skin, reduced joint aches and pains, and increased energy levels. This supplement provides health benefits, particularly for my heart health, I appreciate that it's easy to swallow and digest.

This is a high quality product. Great supplement that does help improve the appearance of aging skin from within in weeks.

Everything is clearly labeled and described. Definitely a high quality source and minimal other ingredients to make this convenient to use and to protect the super nutrient content. I am a user of this natural ingredient already and this quality matches what I am accustomed to even when I swapped to this brand to try. Size of gel capsule is not as small as tiny vit A or small D type ones but still smaller and glides well to swallow. The astaxanthin is well protected as the layer seems thick, but otherwise the shell of the gel cap is similar to many supplements (a standard type). For me astaxanthin is a wonderful supplement overall as I heavily monitor my health with devices and find once I take astaxanthin consistently over a few weeks, my general health "markers" I look watch generally shifts a little into the range I am trying to hit (per recommendations from my medical practitioners). I swapped this brand for about 1 week and it was as effective as another organic item and a back up natural item I have been taking at the same doses.I have seen this brand's products before and notice the higher quality ingredients on label. So the price may be slightly higher but it seems very fair and reflective of what they strive to guarantee.

Good product so far.

Reliable Results That Show Inside and Out —I bought my first bottle on April 10th, 2015, after my ophthalmologist told me my antioxidant levels were low—an early sign of advancing macular degeneration. I also have a posterior vitreous detachment in my left eye and use a +2.00 reader, so vision health is very important to me. She offered an eye supplement for $78, but after reading the label (Astaxanthin, Lutein, and a few others), I went home and did my own research.That’s when I found Sports Research Triple Strength Astaxanthin—and I’m so glad I did. The results are bankable.After just a month, I noticed a real difference: my morning vision had improved. I could clearly read the time upon waking—something that hadn’t happened in a long time.But there were unexpected bonuses too. My agility improved—I was on the floor playing with my grandson and got up easily, without the usual struggle or awkward movements. Even better, friends began asking if I’d had a laser treatment or a cosmetic procedure .My skin looked smoother, brighter, (no line lines people!) and my hair is growing and has a silkier texture. I could see it for myself.This supplement works from the inside out. It supports my eye health, boosts my mobility, and has noticeably improved my skin and hair. I’ve already bought my next bottle.I’ve had some aches and pains from being a bit overactive on the odd day —that’s just how my body is these days—but the joint pain has dissipated.Don't hesitating—GET IT!Skip the expensive creams and pills.

We've only just begun using this product, so cannot write confidently about the effects on our health. However, I've used eye glasses since high school, and long hours working with sensitive equipment in a lab and pouring over journals' fine print on tablets and in our library daily over many years have taken their toll on my sight. Over the past five years my vision had gotten increasingly blurry, with minute but definite eye strain related pain enduring for longer and longer stretches every day, especially after waking up. My physician and my optometrist both tell me my eye health if fine, but the waning performance of my sight "should be expected" due to genetic, environmental (work), and age-related factors. Expecting another 30-40 years of work with progressively debilitating eye sight presented me a horrify prospect.Then I read a few peer reviewed papers on astaxanthin's potential efficacy in mitigating some sight related disorders, and though I loathe spending money on supplements (because there are so many that are nonetheless poorly tested, if at all; and because there is very little regulation of the industry or protection of consumers), I decided to give astaxanthin a shot, desperate for anything that would alleviate the mounting pain just behind my eyes. It was important to our family to choose a product that was, at least on face value (from what we could read about product contents), consistent with dosage and chemical identity with what published studies had researched. We were surprised to find most astaxanthin marketers apparently don't feel similarly about the products they offer. It was no less important to our family to support a business that does not package their supplements in gelatin, or use any other animal byproducts in their products. And, of course, we wanted a product that provided value for our investment dollar.We've been very happy that Sports Research has satisfied all these criteria. From what I've read, it should take three months of consistent use for our family to be able to detect significant effects from this product. Though this may be too early to report, after about a week of using this product I already feel significantly diminished pain in my eyes. Nothing else in my diet or daily regimen has changed, other than my also relying much less on Ibuprofen for pain relief. Whereas previously I woke with blurred vision and persistent percussion behind my eyes, now I wake without pain or distortion. And this has been consistent over the past three days. I'd be satisfied if this were the only effect of taking this astaxanthin supplement (at a single 12 mg capsule once per day).I'll update this review if any major changes arise going forward, but so far I'm very happy with the product. It's exceedingly rare, for me at least, that a supplement produces any discernible effects. Special thanks to Sports Research for its ethical, humane product encapsulation. Had they chosen gelatin or any other animal-derived component to accompany their astaxanthin, our family would have had to purchase another brand's product, and possibly miss out on the benefits already mentioned.Lastly, in the spirit of transparency, I disclose that Sports Research offered our family a small product incentive to write a review on Amazon, but they did not stipulate the review had to be positive. Also, our family has been approached before by companies offering us products in exchange for reviews, but we've never before felt comfortable writing a review for any incentive, as we heavily rely on honest, unbiased Amazon reviews to help us decide whether to invest in products we buy on Amazon and even elsewhere. I chose to write this review because I'm frankly very impressed so far with this product's price, ethical composition, and apparent effectiveness at significantly diminishing my eye strain--which is the reason I sought out astaxanthin in the first place.
