Medical disclaimer

Educational,
not medical advice

General information, not a diagnosis.

Not a substitute for your doctor.

Talk to a professional before acting.

The information on astaxanthin.co.nz is provided for general education only. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for the judgement of a qualified healthcare professional who knows your history.

Not a substitute for professional care

Nothing on this site is intended to diagnose your situation or to tell you what you personally should take. Before starting astaxanthin or any supplement, and before making any change to how you manage your health, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or another qualified professional.

Structure and function, not disease treatment

Astaxanthin is described on this site in terms of its effect on the normal structure and function of the body. It is a dietary supplement, not a medicine, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Where research is discussed, it is reported as research, not as a promise of results for you.

Individual circumstances matter

Results vary from person to person, and a study average is not a prediction for any individual. Some situations call for particular caution. Speak to your doctor first if you:

are pregnant or breastfeeding;

take prescription medication, especially blood-thinning or antiplatelet medication;

have an existing medical condition, or are due to have surgery.

In an emergency

This site cannot help with a medical emergency. If you think you are having one, call your local emergency number immediately. In New Zealand, dial 111.

Accuracy and liability

The content here is prepared and reviewed with care and linked to its sources, but it is provided without warranty of any kind. Astaxanthin.co.nz is not liable for decisions made on the basis of this information. Any action you take is at your own discretion, ideally with professional advice.
