We first discussed Buckminsterfullerene C60 in 2012 but lots has changed since then. The most universal of all antioxidants in the world, this form of nano-carbon has been shown to extend the life of rodents by an astonishing 90%. It effectively doubled the lifespan of the rodents! Its such a powerful antioxidant that scientist refer to it as a “free radical sponge” with an anti-oxidant efficacy several hundred-fold higher than conventional anti-oxidants. And my audience gets a deep $25 discount on their first bottle by going to www.myvitalc.com and use code SHR.

SHR # 2384 :: Can This Rare Antioxidant Really Make You Live Longer?

Show Notes:

[5:35] these C-60 materials were originally used for industrial purposes.

• The replacement of graphite was a potential use because C-60’s shape allows it to lubricate better.

[8:26] Could it be used for transdermal delivery?

• Yes.

[10:02] It was discovered as a byproduct of soot.

[13:17] C-60 is naturally occurring if you have ideal conditions.

• There is a massive amount of C-60 in outer space.

[14:30] Antioxidant properties.

• It is claimed to be 172x more potent than vitamin C.
• It is also anti-inflammatory.

[19:30] the rats in the study that got C-60 lived 90% longer than the ones that didn’t receive C-60.

[21:30] Mitochondrial adaptation.

• The C-60 gets stored in the fatter layer to continue doing good.
• The rats in the study were not babies. They were mature rats.

[28:30] What about cancer?

• The rats in the study were pre disposed to develop tumors, but they did not develop them.

[37:20] why was olive oil chosen as the carrier oil?

[39:40] what do you notice when taking it?

• Knee pain went away.
• Deeper sleep.
• If full dose is taken at night, it could possibly disrupt sleep.

[47:01] It seems to increase VO2 max.

[47:55] Thoughts on lipid peroxidation?

• Chris falls back on the original study.
• A reduction in oxidative stress should reduce lipid peroxidation.

[56:48] Where does c-60 take residence in the cell?

• Mitochondria
