You should work for the media NaturalLady! 

If we start taking astaxanthin, we might turn pinkish/orange apparently. At least we'll have less unwanted hair......if I do end up taking it one day, I'll only do so for a couple of months and then take a break because it seems many sources say that it's ok to take it for 12 weeks. Thought you might like to know, NaturalLady.
I wonder why and what happens if we take it for longer periods    Will we turn into lobsters?

Found these two (disturbing?) articles regarding astaxanthin:

http://lowtestosteroneremedy.com/astaxan...-estrogen/

http://nutrientjournal.com/astaxanthin-p...l-balance/

And this is the perfect example of how there is completely conflicting info out there!
In the first link, the guy says he grew breasts (wouldn't be bad if that happened to us...)  because astaxanthin raises estrogen and in the second one, it states that astaxanthin raises testosterone (reduces DHT though) when taken with saw palmetto. I believe this is what Lotus pointed out in the thread I once started about Astaxanthin (and you commented on Hannah!) and why it seems one needs to take a pro-aromatase with astaxanthin....

I would last all of 10 minutes in the media industry. They wouldn't dig my corny quips at all, lol.

Actually, I wouldn't mind being slightly pinker.. I'm just plain white as sheet right now. Haven't figured out how to get a tan without either baking in the sun, getting sprayed down like a car in a body shop, or slathering on paraben-filled sunless tanner. (sigh)   This beauty thing is complicated.    I know what you mean about conflicting info.. You read one positive article and then the very next thing you google up says it will kill you or cause you irreversible bodily harm, lol! Aghhh!  I tend to reach a saturation point and if what I'm researching sounds really good for my needs, I will cautiously try it despite minor negative feedback that I've read.. Heck, there's probably some bogus article floating around online about Mother Theresa being a pick-pocket if we looked hard enough for it. My point is that I think you have to go with your gut intuition sometimes. Therefore, I'm inclined to believe that astaxanthin would work as we want it to for the most part (I'm thinking though that adding an aromatase to it would be a good idea too, in my opinion).

Thanks for shooting the info this way, Bettie! Keep it coming when you find something pertinent.
