Why take an extra-strength 12 mg dose of Astaxanthin?

While some research indicates the benefits of astaxanthin can start with doses as low as 4 mg per day, additional studies show that 12 mg of astaxanthin (3X the minimum dose in most other brands) supports a much broader array of health benefits including promoting optimal heart and brain health, reducing joint and muscle pain, supporting the immune system and rejuvenating the look and feel of skin.*
