}We evaluated the effect of astaxanthin on visual function in 49 eyes of 49 healthy volunteers. They were over 40 years of age. They were divided into 4 groups matched for age and gender. Each group was given peroral astaxanthin once a day. The dosage was 0mg, 2mg, 4mg, or 12mg for each group. After ingestion of astaxanthin for consecutive 28 days, the uncorrected far visual acuity significantly improved in groups receiving 4mg or 12mg. The accommodation time significantly shortened in groups…

The advances of information technology, software and electronics have led to the widespread use of screen based equipment or visual display terminals (VDT) especially at work or leisure and it is likely that current solutions are insufficient to reduce asthenopia.
Astaxanthin: How much is too much? A safety review
- BiologyPhytotherapy research : PTR
- 2019
A review of approved dose levels, clinical trials of natural AX, and toxicological studies with natural and synthetic AX finds that few safety studies have been conducted in either humans or animals with synthetic AX and recommends the ADI for natural AX to be based only on studies conducted with natural AX.
