A YouTuber who took ‘one of nature’s most powerful supplements’ has lifted the lid on his results after taking it every day for 10 years.
The content creator shared some insight on the impact the supplement has had on his body.
Lucas Ball, who is known online as Pigmie @FocusedLucas on YouTube, explained how he had taken the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin on a daily basis for the past decade.
In fact, it has been the ‘most consistently consumed supplement’ in Lucas’ diet.

He said: “It is produced in algae when the algae undergoes stress, so in essence it’s basically protecting the cell’s DNA from this damage and allowing the algae to grow live longer and continue to produce and now you can see why it has been proposed that this is a powerful dietary supplement in the anti-aging realm.”
So, what benefits has the YouTuber himself experienced? He went on to explain: “I do feel like when taking it earlier in the morning, I get almost like that cognitive boost I talked about when it comes to my workday, plus the most stamina benefits in my workout later in the day. Like I can just power through the entire day like crazy. And I feel like this definitely helps with that.”
Lucas added: “It’s like every time I’ve taken it, I’ve noticed nothing but benefits, and I feel like there’s something to it.”
In his experience, it has been the ‘perfect balance between nature and human curiosity, deriving something from nature and giving a constant blast of a dose’, continuing: “It’s like that perfect hybrid, you know, cuz without going off on a tangent, I’m a little bit sus of like everything from nature is good for you. But also, I’m sus of going way too sciency on stuff, too. So, I’m feeling like there’s this hybrid balance that’s just going to be the ultimate. It’s just a theory. It’s just a theory I have, but I feel like astaxanthin perfectly falls in there.”
Many people took to social media to share their own reactions to the video, with one user writing in the YouTube comment section: “It’s crazy how he has been prepping this video for 10 years. Thank you for the effort.”
Another said: “I’ve been on it for over a week and I can already see the effects on my skin and mood. It’s amazing.”
A third person commented: “How do you know all that is from astaxanthin? I mean you change diets, supplements, lifestyle etc every week. You look like the placebo final boss.”
And in response, a fourth added: “Bro just look at the studies.”
