I apologize....I forgot to check astaxanthin.
Astaxanthin is a potent inducer of 3A4 in vitro. That would speed up the breakdown of valium by one pathway, if....if the dose given here is large enough to do anything. An in vivo study showing this effect is real used 100 mg, and the dose here is 1/200 of that. It's probably trivial, but I can't be certain.
