No detected effect on maximal oxygen uptake
ModerateEvidence strength: moderate. Human evidence with one recorded weakness, or capped at moderate by its design or by unread numbers.FindingNull result“The pooled effect indicated no significant improvement in VO2max with astaxanthin supplementation compared with control (SMD = −0.14, 95% CI: −0.78 to 0.50), and heterogeneity was considerable (I2 = 83.1%).”
