Canthorex Side Effects

Canthaxanthin works on the same principle as iron and vitamin B, which can change the color of body waste, due to excess amounts not being assimilated by the body. During the saturation phase, excessive amounts can turn the palms of the hands and the bottoms of the feet a red/bronze color, indicating that the dosage should be cut down in a gradient fashion. Any redish tint on the palms or feet will fade following saturation.

While there are supposedly no major side effects, recent research has shown that in excessivly large doses, it turns out that canthaxanthin is responsible for causing 'canthaxanthin retinopathy', or a multitude of retinal disorders affecting sight. Canthaxanthin and its metabolites can cause crystallisation around or on the retina, blocking nerve signals and causing 'white flashes' and other such problems. Though usually this occurs at higher doses, the condition develops sooner in those with already diseased retinas.
