So if it's clear that taking more than 2 mg will not provide any further benefit why do studies typically use 4-12 mg a day?

It maybe different in each person. Taking it with food/enzymes, maybe different than on empty stomach and it may depend on how many other antioxidants they are already taking. Over doing an antioxidant may hurt. The company doesn't have to use a high dose, but make it work better, but still figure out your own dose carefully so people don't get afraid to use it when bad things happen as it accumulates.

One dose of Astaxanthin stays in your blood for 100 hours and you are taking a dose every 24. The T = 1/2 is 16 hours so it bio-accumulates. 1/2 of the dose is still present after 16 hours. Some Astaxanthin sold is unstable one manufacturer states that their product is stable for 1 year at 8 degrees Centigrade. That is very unstable because most is stored at 20 degrees or above. Get off the 12 mg kick and take 4 mg a day (already a high dose) or take the 12 every third day.
