"Why it is here: Astaxanthin, a carotenoid from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae, 10 mg per softgel. How to take: Take 1 softgel daily with food. Published evidence: A 2021 meta-analysis of randomized trials found that astaxanthin taken by mouth improved skin moisture and elasticity compared with placebo but did not significantly reduce wrinkle depth (Zhou 2021, Nutrients). Clinical experience (observation): I have used this product myself. Caution: The softgel is bovine gelatin; the product contains refined soy oil. Review: Track something objective, such as photographs, and reassess after 4–8 weeks. Do not keep going indefinitely if you are not getting clear benefits."

Additional notes

"Why it is here: One scoop (6 g) contains 5 g of VERISOL® bovine collagen peptides, 120 mg of hyaluronic acid, Lactobacillus johnsonii La1 (1 billion CFU), melon juice concentrate, lycopene, and 90 mg of vitamin C. How to take: 1 scoop once a day, mixed thoroughly into food or a beverage. Published evidence: Collagen: a 2025 meta-analysis of 23 randomized trials found benefit overall but none in high-quality trials or trials without industry funding (Myung 2025, Am J Med). Hyaluronic acid: a 2025 meta-analysis of 7 small randomized trials reported improved hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle depth (J Drugs Dermatol). Clinical experience (observation): I know this brand and use its products myself each day. Caution: Label: food supplement only; not for weight reduction. If pregnant, nursing, or you have a medical condition, consult your physician first. Radiant Skin Complex also contains hyaluronic acid; together, 240 mg a day. Review: Track something objective, such as photographs, and reassess after 4–8 weeks. Do not keep going indefinitely if you are not getting clear benefits."
