We have talked about Astaxanthin here so if you are not aware of the benefits first read that post. Now some have said you be in the sun for many hours without sun protection if you have consumed about 8-16mg of astaxanthinn, I have personally tried this to see if thats true.

I consumed astaxanthin for about 20-30 days before the test and 15 min. before I went to the beach I took 8mg. was at the beach for about 2 hours. Went home then after a few hours I noticed I was somewhat red on back and front not severe but you notice I got a little to much sun. The sunburn was gone a few days after, but I will not recommend any to only use Astaxanthin as a sunprotection, im no fan of sunprotection, Im just in the sun for less time, still if you want to be out in the sun longer then use some protection be cause Astaxanthin is not enogh.

Now this is nothing against Astaxanthin, I still recomend it highly be cause of its many benefits for your Health, just not as a ONLY sunprotection that just dont work.

Have a great day and stay Healthy
