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 read this and I am sorry but i have a way different conclusion from this and other research..astaxanthin lowers dht..thats it. Dont take aromatase with it..its counterproductive and you could end up with way too much estrogen and too low testosterone in comparison. .it will also shock your system too much..you could end up hypothyroid..just take supplements in balance..i think in your case first htake care of your testosteron..wigh either an a.a or aromatase..when your body is used to thatyou could add P and E. Best woulc bd hormone testing its possible..
