The Mitochondrial Triad Presentation, Pt. 3 (Carbon 60)
The Red Light Report
Exploring the Antioxidant Benefits and Longevity Potential of Carbon 60
This chapter explores the properties and benefits of carbon 60 (C60) as a powerful antioxidant that may enhance lifespan. It discusses historical discoveries, significant studies like the 2012 rat study, and the mechanisms behind its health benefits, emphasizing the importance of high-purity variants such as ESS60.
Last week, I covered one of my favorite mitochondrial topics at length: methylene blue (MB). The deep dive covered the history of MB, along with the mechanisms, benefits and considerations surrounding MB. In a similar arrangement, I will be covering the same topics of history, mechanisms, benefits and considerations relative to C60. Also, I provide some exclusive information, revealing just how unfortunate and disconcerting the quality of C60 supplements are that you will find on the market. Some contain ZERO carbon 60! That's why quality and buying from a trusted source is a must.
If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)
