The Mitochondrial Triad Presentation, Pt. 3 (Carbon 60)
The Red Light Report
Unveiling Mitochondrial Essentials: Quality Control in C60 Supplements
This chapter highlights the importance of choosing high-quality C60 supplements, cautioning against misleading products on the market. It concludes with an overview of the mitochondrial triad's benefits, including red light therapy, methylene blue, and carbon 60 for improved health and mitochondrial function.
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 :)
