A potential "no stupid questions"-question.
Will I turn pink if I eat enough Astaxanthin? Is it toxic in the amounts that would be necessary?
I think you'd turn orange-ish - more like salmon than flamingo colored. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid like beta-carotene, so you could develop carotenemia/carotenosis which would make you look orange.
