This Pill will become amazing when it replaces Sun Screen. But it from the looks of it helps the tissues in the body and allows people to be in the sun longer without to much to worry about as long as u wear Sun Screen. This Pill will be great for people who can not be in the sun like albino's but they still need more protection.

"Dermatologists recognize the benefits of a compound called astaxanthin. Found in red ocean plants and animals such as salmon, astaxanthin is the most effective and efficient free radical sponge in nature, which works to combat the free radicals created by skin exposed to ultraviolet rays. It is a powerful antioxidant that also reduces the pain and inflammation that occurs with sunburn. It is not a substitute for sunscreen"

By using a natural substance found in marine life, could possibly help you minimize the sun’s damage, if you use it in combination with sunscreen and limited exposure to sunlight. Patients who already had skin cancer saw a marked improvement after taking the supplement, called Astaxanthin. It is found in marine plants and animals that eat those plants, such as salmon. Any ocean plant or animal with a reddish color contains astaxanthin. I think this is cool because scientists are using nature, in this case marine life, to cure diseases and help prevent anymore people from getting skin cancer.

The sunscreen in a pill is not a substitute for sunscreen but the antioxidant reduces the pain and inflammation that comes with having a sunburn. The pill is called Bio Astin (Astaxanthin) seems to absorb the UV rays. IT is over 500 times stronger tha vitamin E and ten times stronger than vitamin A.
This antioxidant is a natural substance and it is found in marine life. Almost any ocean plant or animal that has a reddish tint to it contains astazanthin.
I think that this is an anazing pill and it is the first that I am hearing of it. It reduces the pain of a sun burn and inflammation. Anyone can use the pill but expecially those who spend most of the day outside in the sun. Like sufers. Also this is a large step towards finding a cure for skin cancer.

An amazing substance named astaxanthin is found in marine life than can help us avoid getting skin cancer. it is found in red ocean plants and salmon. it is an antioxidant that reduced inflammation and pain which happen after a sunburn. If you use this as well a sunblock this can help you reduce your chance of skin cancer as well as sun damage. This does not take the place of sunscreen you should use sunscreen also with this. This is also a benefit of eating 1 to 3 pounds so salmon. This is a great step for skin cancer maybe in the future we can fully cure it.

FINALLY! I HATE sunscreen and at last it comes in a pill. Well, okay so its not exactly sunscreen. But the fact that it absorbs UV Rays so that they are less harmful to the body is good enough for me. And astaxanthin comes right from our red ocean plants and animals. Something so powerful, 100 times stronger than Vitamin E and 10 times stronger than Vitamin C, RIGHT FROM OUR OCEAN! Just a bummer that it can't COMPLETELY replace sunscreen. :(

To just take a simple pill instead of rubbing sunscreen everywhere..that sounds amazing. This pill could change many people's lives and even reduce sun cancer! It's found in a marine plant and in any animals that feed on it. It sounds healthier to me when scientists go to nature and find natural ways to cure amd prevent people from disease.

i think that this pill is a great way to help keep you protected from the UV rays from the sun. the stuff that is in the pill comes from most reddish plants and animals. this pill will not completely protect you but it will help so much that you wont have to worry about re-applying sunscreen as much. it also helps keep down the swelling and irritation of the skin from sunburns. people who are in the sun a lot i think would really like this new pill because then they dont have to worry as much about how much sunscreen they are wearing every single hour as long as they remember the pill does not completely prevent you from being burned or skin damage.

This is an awesome pill. I think that this will greatly help the prevention of cancer. Sunscreen is not a 100% gauruntee protection from the sun so this pill with work with sunscreen to provide maximum protection. The compound is called astaxanthi and is found in red ocean plants and animals. Salmon is an example of an animal with this compound, but a person would have to eat 1-3 pounds of salmon a day to compare to the pill. Astaxanthin works by abosrbing the free radicals from the UV rays which contribte to the casue of cancer. I am excited to see what scientists can come up with next to help prevent and cure cancer!!!

This pill called astaxanthin is unbelievably remarkable and possibly could help protect you from or save you from skin cancer. This pill is made up of red plants and animals in the ocean such as salmon. UV rays can damage your skins DNA, but astaxanthin can absorb the rays and essentially protect you from harm. This pill won't totally save you from skin cancer but it will help the pain and inflammation of a sunburn. The only worry I have with this pill is they don't know the side effects of it. It might be more harmful to your skin in the long run. But, it also might just be a miracle in the works.

I have pills very similar to these that I got last summer in Europe. They probably have this chemical in them. As far as i know, those pills are not legal yet in the U.S.
Can't wait for them to be available here!

The new discovery of Astaxanthin is proven to have many amazing benefits. It is found in red ocean plants and animals such as salmon, it is the most effective free radical sponge in nature, which works to fight free radicals created by skin exposed to ultraviolet rays. Another beneficial effect of Astaxanthin is that it reduces the pain and inflammation that occurs with sunburn. You can’t completely rely on Astaxanthin alone for skin protection from the sun, but it should be used to supplement sunscreen. A person would have to eat 1.5 pounds of salmon to get the same effects from supplementing with this antioxidant.

Astaxanthin is proving to be one of the most effective and efficient free radical “sponges” found in nature, soaking up the toxic molecules to prevent them from causing further damage. A potent antioxidant, astaxanthin is more than 500 times stronger than vitamin E and 10 times stronger than vitamin A (betacarotene). It can also enhance the immune system, helping to reduce the inflammation that leads to sunburn.

This was very very interesting..I hope this turns out to be popular and everyone uses it !!

The fact that taking a pill could help reduce your chances of getting skin cancer is amazing. Even though Bio Astin cannot replace sunscreen it is certainly worth taking when you're going to be outside for a while because of the way it combats free radicals created by skin exposed to UV light. Astaxanthin is found in red ocean plants and some animals such as salmon. It is powerful enough to reduce the pain and inflammation caused by sunburn. Taking this pill will only be extremely beneficial.

Wow, this pill is pretty incredible if it can substitute sun screen and is 10 x more effective than vitamin D. Once this pill becomes more popular, I think that people will start buying it instead of sunscreen because it takes up less time and effort and we today, our extremely spoiled with what science and technology have accumulated In todays society. This will make our lives easier and I think its a great idea.

I like what Ally said about the preventative coming from a natural source. I spend a lot of time in the sun and it seems that skin cancer is a real problem. Also, no one wants to look like a saddle bag when they are still young.
I'll look into whether or not these pills are available in the US...

This pill is amazing, putting on sun screen is a pain, when you are at the beach and the waves are FAT and your name is Mr. Gardner u might be a little lazy about reapplying the sun tan lotion every 2 hours or so. Now Gardner can take this pill and go out for a paddle and not have to worrie about putting on the sun tan lotion.

If these people where smart they would market this because parents and people who live near the beach would definatley buy this stuff, This is a product waiting to skyrcket it just needs to hit main streem.

This pill will become so great when it is a substitute for sunscreen. This pill will allow beach goers and sunbathers to be able to stay in the sun longer and be safer. I think it will be almost impossible to get sun burnt when you are taking this pill. This pill is great and will last longer than anyother sun screen or sun protection. It is called astaxanthin and it is made from red ocean plants like red seaweed and salmon and such.
