Also know as Fullerene
C60 is still relatively new, but the studies on it showed results so profound that people think they are fraudulent. The process of peer-review is ongoing, although C60 Oil has dramatically increased the life spans of rats by 90%.
I’ll outline all the current interesting scientific findings on C60 Oil below.
Buckminsterfullerene, buckyballs or C60, is a powerful antioxidant that has effects on unsaturated fats [Research].
C60 removes superoxide, which is a toxic by-product of cellular metabolism that contributes to tissue injury in many human diseases [Research].
A review of scientific research has shown that C60 has longevity and antioxidant effects agiven its scavenging capacity for reactive oxygen species [Research].
Some think that by absorbing nearby acid, protons, C60 is then attracted to the mitochondria and carries the protons, superoxide acceptors, to prevent the very source of damage from the electron transport chain
The proposed mechanism indicates that C60 has the ability to acquire positive charge by absorbing protons (positively charged hydrogen atoms) and this complex could enter the mitochondria, leading to a decrease in reactive oxygen species production [Research].
Computer simulations have shown that C60 has the ability the pass through lipid membranes, enter the cell, and alter its functions [Research].
Some C60 derivatives that are produced in the body are water soluble and apparently non-toxic below concentrations of 1 mg/mL [Research].
9 Health Benefits Of C60
1) C60 Improves Longevity
Carboxyl C60 prevents nerve cells from dying by either dehydration or amyloid-beta (causes Alzheimer’s) and allowed mice to live 8 days longer in a 120 day lifetime [Research, Research].
Another study found that average lifespan can increase 5-14% by starting already half way through the lives of mice [Research, Research].
The above studies use a derivative of C60 while using actual C60 in olive oil can get 90% increase in lifespan for rats (using a dose of 1.7 mg/kg of body weight twice a month) [Research].
2) C60 Protects Against Free Radicals
Free radicals can react with almost any molecule in your body and potentially damage it before leaving the molecule and going to the next one, but an antioxidant like C60 (carboxyl) prevents age-related decline in mice [Research, Research].
Carboxy C60 is significantly better than ubiquinone, preventing fat peroxidation and iron-induced oxidation in cells [Research].
Also, malonyl-C60 inhibits nitric oxide synthase a creator of nitric oxide, a free radical in test-tubes [Research].
3) C60 Prevents Inflammation
By inhibiting IL-1, matrix metalloproteinases, and TNF-alpha, hydroxyl-C60 prevents inflammation in mice [Research].
4) C60 Kills Viruses
When the right kind of photons work with hydroxy C60 it can deactivate mosquito viruses [Research].
5) C60 Protects Nerves
Nerves can die from being fired too often and worked too hard, hydroxyl C60 protects nerves from dying due to overwork in cell cultures [Research].
6) C60 Prevents Osteoarthritis
Further, water-soluble C60 prevents stress-induced damage, prevents the breakdown of bones. It also prevents loss of bone cells, and prevents bone inflammation in rabbits [Research].
7) C60 Improves Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome
Plus, C60 in squalene (shark oil) is a powerful antioxidant and can prevent fat cells from growing in size. It also prevents cells from increasing in numberand prevent insulin resistance in cells [Research].
8) C60 Kills Bacteria
Also, malonyl C60 killed and helped white blood cells to kill Group A Streptococcus (strep throat, skin infections, toxic shock syndrome) [Research].
9) C60 Prevents UV Damage
Perfect for incorporating into a skin lotion, C60 Oil stops sunburn in models of human skin [Research].
