Astaxanthin?
Yeah. It's great. That's your blueberry stuff. That's just like the ingredient down the list. And it's one of the many awesome things in blueberries, cherries, and things like that. It's phenomenal. Lots of research on it. It's great. Again, though, I would say the same thing. We're not going to take those unless we have a reason for that.

Because you have to be conscious of what you're trying to do signaling-wise in your physiology. This is a potent one.

No, definitely not the case. You can get away with higher than needed amounts of protein, of fiber. But you start getting into, here's a general rule. If it is a macronutrient, fiber, water, protein, carbs, fat, No big deal if you eat excess, okay? If it is a micronutrient, if it is a vitamin, if it's a water-soluble vitamin, you'll just pee it out.

So not a big deal for over-consuming water-soluble vitamins usually, with some exceptions, vitamin C, things like that. If you start getting into fat-soluble, and if you specifically get into minerals- be really, really careful of high concentrations of exogenous minerals, iron, calcium, even something like potassium. These can cause real significant and serious issues.

So I wouldn't go to any of these things. Phytochemicals are in the same realm. Antioxidants, you really should be conscious of using those things unless you have a reason. If you are training super hard and you're peaking for competition, we might add in some antioxidant supplementation.

If we're in a particular area of the world, let's say, or traveling with a lot of pollutants, or you're going to be interacting with a lot of people and you're worried about, you're going to be sleeping a lot less, and you have other things that are going to suppress your immune system, we might add in some antioxidant support there. But if not, we're not going to touch those things.

Oftentimes, if we're having any immune-related issues, there's something causing it, and we're going to go back and solve that problem, and then just let your immune system and your physiology do what it wants to do and get out of the way.
