Administrator Altostrata Posted February 2, 2014 Administrator Posted February 2, 2014 There are many healthy components in vegetables. Astaxanthin is one of them. Rather than dividing our veggies finely into their components and taking them in capsules, I would eat more raw veggies, perhaps in a blended drink, pulp and all. If unable to get fresh veggies, I would take a mixed carotinoid supplement derived from food or algae. This should include a range of nutrients including astaxanthin. This is not medical advice.
