I love to go to the beach and the pool in the summer, but I worry about the effects of the sun’s harmful rays on my skin and overall health. I wear copious amounts of sunscreen, but is there something more I can do? After some time spent researching sun protection on the internet, I found the answer: a natural supplement called Astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid, a pigment produced by microalgae. It contains powerful antioxidant properties that help protect the body's healthy cells from the damaging effects of free radicals, unstable molecules produced by daily exposure to environmental factors, such as pollution and the sun's UV rays. Astaxanthin has also been found to promote younger-looking skin from within, working as a natural sunscreen that helps protect skin from sunburn. It also supports healthy vision by helping protect eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays. My favorite brand is NSI® Hawaii BioAstin® Natural Astaxanthin, which supplies 4 mg of astaxanthin in one easy-to-digest softgel. So this summer, don’t forget the sunscreen or the astaxanthin!








You have to watch the sunscreen it is filled with toxins.Most are very bad for you and can even cause cancer. A couple of good natural sunscreens are Aubrey organics line and Mexitan products. Mexitan uses all natural ingredients.The sun is actually very good for you in moderation. At least twenty to thirty minutes a day without any sunscreen is preferable to get the maximum Vitamin D.
