It may not be much to look at, but seaweed is full of bang and bash. Which is why ANTI-X contains astaxanthin that's been extracted from a type of algae called Haematococcus pluvialis. H. pluvialis isn't a slimy character. He's friendly. And dietary carotenoids love him. Think about it this way: if ANTI-X is the superhero, then carotenoids are his superpowers.

WHAT MAKES ANTI-X THE REAL THING?

• - No bad guy entry: We don't add colourants, herbicides, pesticides or flavourants.

CAUTIONARY TALES

Don't take ANTI-X if you're hypersensitive to:

• - Haematococcus pluvialis algae,
• - Astaxanthin, lutein, betacarotene or related carotenoids, or
• - Vitamin E

Speak to your doctor before taking ANTI-X if you:

• - are pregnant or breast-feeding (in these cases, safety is not established, so use cautiously or avoid),
• - have a bleeding disorder,
• - have problems with blood sugar or blood pressure,
• - have hormone disorders, or
• - have an auto-immune disorder or are using immune-suppressants.

Astaxanthin is generally well-tolerated but could:

• - affect bleeding,
• - cause diarrhea

If you experience changes in vision, discontinue use. Don't be shy. If you notice any worrying side effects, speak to your doctor, pharmacist or other health care professional.

HOW TO TAKE ANTI-X

Important: Supplements should not replace a healthy, balanced and varied diet.

Dosing up

Adults over 18 years of age: 2 capsules taken orally daily with a meal and a glass of water. Don’t exceed the daily dosage level without consulting your healthcare practitioner.  Speak to your healthcare practitioner for use beyond 3 months.

If you accidentally take more ANTI-X than you should, stop taking it and re-start at the recommended dose a week later. In the event of over-dosage, consult your doctor or pharmacist. If that's not possible, seek help at your nearest hospital.

Forgetfulness

If you forget to take ANTI-X, don't panic. Just start again at the regular dose. Don't take a double dose to make up for lost time. And set a reminder on your phone.
