Potential Side Effects
1. Astaxanthin is generally safe with no side effects when taken with food. The FDA has placed astaxanthin on the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) list at 6 to 7 milligrams (mg) daily. At high doses, some side effects may include frequent bowel movements and red-colored stool. 2. Astaxanthin may interact with blood thinners like warfarin, increasing the risk of bleeding, and could affect cholesterol levels, potentially enhancing the effects of statins and omega-3s. Additionally, it may influence immune function, requiring caution when taken with immunosuppressive drugs like Humira.
