What exactly is Carbon 60 (C60)?

Carbon 60, also known as Buckminsterfullerene or “buckyball,” is a molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms arranged in the shape of a hollow sphere, resembling a soccer ball. It’s a naturally occurring allotrope of carbon, like diamond and graphite, but with unique chemical and physical properties due to its structure

What are the purported benefits of taking C60?

C60 potential benefits based on in vitro (test tube) and animal studies, include antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, significantly increased lifespan, improved mitochondrial function, and powerful neuroprotective effects. C60’s human research is limited, although there are numerous anecdotal claims. C60 works at the cellular level and the cellular metabolism of animals and humans is quite similar. However, human based research is mostly based on in vitro (test tube) studies and doctor case studies.

Is C60 safe for human consumption? Are there any known side effects?

The safety of dissolved and polyhydroxylated C60 in animal studies is well established, for humans there is less research. The production methods and type of C60 consumed is important. These revolve around the purity of the C60 and if solvent used in the purification of C60. Sublimated or sublimed C60 is the only type safe for human consumption and at a purity of 99.9%.

Is C60 regulated? Can I legally buy it?

There are no regulatory statues on C60 and it is not banned for improving athletic performance. As a dietary supplement in the United States, it is not FDA-approved, and the market has limited regulatory oversight. While you can purchase C60 products, it’s important to be aware of the lack of regulations and the potential for variability in product quality and purity. Look for C60 products with full ingredient disclosure and third-party testing.

There is no established “best” way to take C60. Many available consumer C60 products dissolve the C60 fullerene in olive oil, avocado oil or MCT oil. It is best to do your own research into the subject and make your own informed decisions. A wide variety of videos, websites such as WhatisC60.org can assist you in this process. Taking C60 is an informed adult choice.
