    A little-known antioxidant that helps you recover 2x faster?

    Ei aí, bichão.

    For the past 3 months I've been experimenting with a substance I read about on Mercola's site.

    It's called Astaxanthin. Here are some of the things it does:

    • Scavenging free radicals in your energy-producing mitochondrial cells
    • Decreasing oxidative damage to your cell membranes and DNA
    • Decreasing muscle inflammation
    • Reducing lactic acid in your muscles (a byproduct of physical exertion)
    • Improving visual acuity and depth perception
    • Improving sun tolerance and reducing your tendency to sunburn


    On top of krill oil, I've been taking 16mg of Astaxanthin daily and I've noticed a marked increase in recovery after training. I don't feel quite as beat up after a hard train. My skin looks noticeably better as well.

    A few months ago, my dad had been taking it and I went to visit him after not having seen him in a while. When I saw him, he looked 5 years younger. I was shocked.

    This stuff is remarkably safe. In fact, no studies that I've seen have shown any adverse effect. In fact, the benefits seem to follow a linear dose-response curve. In other words, the more you take, the more benefits you get.

    The research is still fairly new so maybe they'll find out it shrinks your wang or something but if that's the case, I've got nothing to lose by taking it! ;-)

    Yup I take both Astaxanthin and krill oil from Dr. Mercola, a necessity for me. Astaxanthin was also suggested by my doctor to help as I'm insulin resistant. I've been using it for about 2.5 months and have seen some solid changes.

    You're insulin resistant, even after adopting a gluten free diet?

    Thanks for posting this.

    If you guys are taking krill oil, would that supercede fish oil? I ask because I just dropped another $45 on another bottle of fish oil in order to try to rebalance my Omega3/Omega6 ratio.

    If I took krill oil would I stop with the fish oil, is what I am asking?

    Yes, you'd stop the fish oil altogether.

    Man, sounds like your doctor really knows what's up. The average M.D. will tell you to eat whole grains and wash them down with statin drugs.
