Thats cool Rick you were not aware.

I have been searching for a while now!

I have never tried it and would like to give it a go!

if you read the ingredients of tetra bits it does not say it contains ASTAXATHIN, but it used too.

many natural products contain astaxathin such as spirulina, scallops etc.

astaxathin in this pure form will give more of a bang for the buck!

cheers

Hi Ben,

Is it difficult to bring in Astaxanthin from USA given the strict quarantine restrictions?
