Discovery of a Longevity Molecule

The podcast features Chris Burris, who discusses a groundbreaking molecule known as ESS-60, discovered in 1985 and linked to significant longevity results. Initially thought to be toxic, a peer-reviewed study found that rats given ESS-60 lived 90% longer than those that weren't. This molecule, part of a group of compounds called fullerines and colloquially known as buckyballs, is made up of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical shape. Since 1991, Burris’s company has been manufacturing this molecule and supplying it for research, contributing to extensive interest in its health applications.
