Does anybody remember there being a caution about Astaxanthin (from krill oil, I believe) lowering testosterone levels?

I can't seem to find the source on that, and found a shady supplement study appears to have been debunked...

I've found 2 studies relating to male sex hormones and astaxanthin. One discussed using it with saw palmetto to raise testosterone and one discussed it's effect on inhibiting 5ar . Nothing about lowering test. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16093232 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16110353
