so i always do a test on astaxanthin to ensure that its what it says it is- this one did NOT pass my text, it was going to take almost 2wks to get my REGULAR brand delivered, clarity MD, and I ran out cuz they screwed up my subscription! i gave this a try,owner claims to have started co.bcuz good supplements were out of her price range %26i support woman owned businesses wherein possible. this had a chemical taste,some pills are shiny%26some are dull ,first red flag.i opened up one- they're all orange inside but this stained my skin and I had to use an astringent to remove it. thats not "natural",otherwise the whole ocean would be orange wherever algae grows. suffice it to say, I'm sticking to the usual brand that DID make my kidneys better%26 helped my eyesight, this brand has however long it takes for claritymd to deliver to NY (which should be an overnight process quite frankly!) so I'm upset w BOTH brands, and if anyone knows a good,RELIABLE,TRANSPARENT, RESULTS DRIVEN,GOOD SHIPPING, microalgae sourced-in MCT oil and besides the capsule nothing else- brand, PLEASE let me know! my FB is Heather Chandler in Buffalo NY. I WILL NOT MIND IF U MESSAGE ME THE BETTER BRAND, OR LEAVE A REVIEW BELOW THIS W THE BETTER BRANDS NAME. I've heard Rovina is ok, but again, who knows anymore? once something REALLY HELPFUL COMES OUT EVERYONE CHEAPS IT DOWN AND SELLS A KNOCKOFF! (I already have heartburn from taking the pill and it was only before I started typing this, and haven't taken anything else today besides my "good supplements " that i trust!
