Medical professionals debunked social media posts claiming that astaxanthin, a compound found in some seafood, can replace traditional sunscreen in protecting against sun damage. While astaxanthin may have some benefits for skin health, there is no scientific evidence supporting its ability to effectively replace sunscreen. The FDA has previously warned against products claiming to offer sun protection through pills, emphasizing the importance of using sunscreen to protect against skin cancer linked to sun exposure.
