Yep. It was on the repeat with Dr. Mercola.

Astaxanthin is also in Krill oil.

I thought Dr. Mercola did not look well on that show. His eyes were bugging out, and his color was poor. He is selling expensive Krill oil on his website. And one big thing he said bothers me.... he said in the beginning of his work on the web he was spending 500,000 DOLLARS for his web costs (and going into debt)... This is way unbelieveable! WAY!

I am not convinced yet totally, of his claims. But some of it daily could help inflammation, like grapeseed extract or curcumin.

There are many potent antioxidants out there. Some studies on curcumin are really impressive. But you have to use an enhanced absorption form of it and that costs more than astaxanthin.

I have a historic issue with him too. Many years ago I was posting on Omega-3s, the evils of transfats, and other supplements on a previously popular venue with heavy traffic. I recommended Carlson brand long before anyone knew of them (we used Carlson DHA for my son). Then I found Dr. Mercola echoing that a bit later. This sort of creeped me out... as if he were reading my posts back then. So I have become a bit careful when I read him now.
