C60: The Most Powerful Antioxidant in the World

The small but powerful tart cherry C60 Gummy

Every once in a while I come across something that knocks my socks off.

C60 Power's supplement with Carbon 60  did just that.

I discovered C60 Power when founder and Chief Science Officer, Ken Swartz M.S., handed me a tart cherry C60 gummy at the Livelong Conference in the spring of 2024. I popped it in my mouth, not realizing that this unassuming little purple gummy was one of the world’s most powerful antioxidants. Because I was a little peckish and didn't know any better, I had two. Suffice it to say, I felt amazing, even after a taxing weekend. It all made sense when I learned that C60 scavenges free radicals 100 times more than vitamin C. This makes it one of the strongest antioxidants in the world, although there is no single strongest as they work on different systems etc.

C60 was first identified in 1985, but only started showing up in products in the last few years. That's because it took scientists more than 30 years to figure out how to manufacture enough of the precious molecule to use it commercially.

C60's full name is buckminsterfullerene or "fullerene" for short. It is shaped like a tiny soccer ball and comprised of 60 positively charged carbon atoms. This charge allows it to neutralize large amounts of oxidative stress—the culprit behind aging, inflammation, and chronic disease. "It is several hundred times more powerful than conventional antioxidants," explains Swartz.

Perhaps the coolest thing about C60 is that it is selective. Meaning it will not blindly put out all oxidative stress and as such, does not interfere with cell signaling. So you don't have to worry about taking it too close to exercise like vitamins C, E, etc. C60 works with (and in some cases in place of) your body's own antioxidants, like superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase.

"People who take C60 have higher glutathione levels because the C60 molecule takes care of one of glutathione's main jobs," explains the founder. "This allows glutathione to do any number of the 12 other important things it does in the body. This is great news for older people or anyone who genetically has less glutathione production"

Scientists first noticed its effects in an eye-opening 2012 study, where rats given C60 in olive oil lived nearly twice as long as their non-C60 counterparts. These results indicate that C60 has the potential to extend lifespan in humans as well. Longevity Olympians take note.

C60 Power, the best company to buy your C60 from currently, has many different delivery mechanisms for its magnificent molecule. You can pop a gummy like I did. Take a dropper of one of three different oils: olive, avocado, MCT (with or without cinnamon flavor.) Or apply it topically to rejuvenate skin and make dark spots melt away. They even have a dedicated line for lucky pets and horses.

C60 also improves mental clarity, eases arthritis pain, and helps with exercise recovery. "People who use C60 have been shown to have higher numbers of stem cells too," says Swartz. "There was also a study on women in Japan showing that C60 topically applied diminishes wrinkles," he adds.

Another unique feature of C60 is that while most antioxidants get "used up" in the fight against free radicals, C60 regenerates itself in the body. So it works continuously to combat oxidative damage. It's molecule is small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier, so there can be neuroprotective benefits that support memory, focus, and overall brain health.

But not all C60 is created equally, explains the founder. "Just having particles of C60 doesn't have the same health benefits, it has to be dissolved into individual, whole molecules." It also needs to be from a clean, tested source.

People who use C60 often report higher energy levels, improved skin elasticity, faster recovery from workouts, and even better sleep. While research is still unfolding, early findings suggest C60 may also support immune function, protect against radiation, and enhance mitochondrial health.

The future of anti-aging? It might just start with a single molecule.

The evidence is convincing that C60 may be the ultimate longevity hack. Want to try it? Please click my link for the best price on C60 Power or use code GOLDILOCKS at checkout.
