Astaxanthin is amazing stuff for energy and muscle stamina. It should help preserve vision as well, as many have reported.
According to several studies when it comes to singlet oxygen quenching or eliminating free radicals astaxanthin can be as much as:
• 550 times stronger than vitamin E
• 800 times more powerful than CoQ10
• 6000 times more potent than vitamin C
Thx, amorphous. I did have a successful corneal transplant about 12 years ago in Seattle, where there’s an excellent eye bank. I joked with my ophthalmologist, “I’m praying for a teenage drive-by shooting.” Instead of being shocked, he and nurse said they were always doing that too. LOL Sadly(?) that didn’t happen and by law they only had to give me a cornea from a person younger than I…..which includes a lot of old people.
My not-teenaged cornea has deteriorated, looks blurry like I’m underwater. The vision beneath it is almost perfect…and one of those huge half-basketball contact lenses brings it back. BUT, I had such trouble getting that lens in, I just gave up…because of the dystrophy, light enough to see what I’m doing hurts like daggers in the eyes….got tired of running over to neighbor to get lens in and out. I was really hoping to replace the transplant with a new transplant, but doc wants me to try the contact basketball again. BECAUSE I’M SO OLD and transplant could take a year to settle in.
This is not a valid reason for me…..my bod is as lithe and slender as it was when I was a teenager, posture is absolutely perfect, don’t need a single med since I’ve been a health food pioneer since the 1960s when I started taking megadoses of supplements….don’t get me started, as my kids will attest. Ordered Astaxanthin, hope to give you a good report within a month or two. Thanks again for your help
