We all want to live the healthiest lives we can, and we’re always looking for ways to boost health naturally. As more people begin to look to the natural world for answers to health concerns, developments like Carbon 60 have garnered international attention.
Might it be possible to live a healthy and long life without taking synthetic substances? We do not pretend to give medical advice or give any claims whatsoever. Still, after forty years in natural health, nutrition, and dietary supplementation, we’ve found some natural health boost items that work immensely well for our customers!
Carbon 60 (C60) may be one of the best we’ve worked with yet.
What is Carbon 60?
The official name of C60 is buckminsterfullerene. Simply stated, carbon 60 is a unique collection of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a cage-like fused-ring structure made of 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons (every 5 hexagons surrounding 1 pentagon) arranged as a sphere. When multiple C60 molecules are arranged together, they can look much like a soccer ball; C60 compounds are also casually referred to as “buckyballs” because of their round shape. This shape gives C60 unique properties and allows it to hold materials inside; this is an area of interest for medical research.
On a molecular level, C60 acts as a powerful antioxidant with numerous potential health benefits. C60 readily grabs free radicals, which are associated with cell damage in the body.
The History Behind C60
Carbon 60 was first hypothesized to exist in 1965 by a scientist named Harry P. Shultz. At that time, the technology was not available to prove the existence of this unique molecule, so much of Shultz’s research was ignored.
Then, C60 was mentioned again in 1970 by Japanese technology professor Eiji Osawa. His work, though it was translated to English, did not make it to Europe or America until more recently.
Also in 1970, scientist R. W. Henson hypothesized the existence of C60. And then, in 1973, USSR scientists published findings on potential carbon molecules that could possess as many as 60 carbon atoms. But just as Shultz and Osawa were mostly ignored, so too were Henson and the USSR researchers more or less dismissed.
It wasn’t until 1985 when mass spectrometry technology was advanced enough that Harold Kroto, a professor at the University of Sussex, and James R. Heath, Sean O’Brien, Robert Curl, and Richard Smalley from Rice University were finally able to prove the existence of Carbon 60. For their discovery, the scientists were awarded a Nobel Prize in 1996.
Since its discovery, C60 has been widely studied for its potential use in a variety of medical, industrial, & scientific purposes. Today, it is a widely recognized substance, and while we know of its existence, we are still learning just how beneficial this simple collection of carbon atoms can be!
What are Some of the Benefits of C60?
In 2012, scientists & researchers Tarek Baati, Fanchon Bourasset, Najla Gharbi, Leila Njim, Manef Abderrabba, Abdelhamid Kerkeni, Henri Szwarc, and Fathi Moussa worked together on what would soon become a groundbreaking study. In the study, the researchers tested Carbon 60 on rats to observe the substance’s potential benefits. Some of the rats were given placebos; others were given C60. Throughout the study period, it was found the rats given C60 experienced longer lives than the rats given placebos!
But how? It all comes down to the antioxidizing properties of C60.
First, let’s define what it means to be an antioxidant. According to the National Cancer Institute, an antioxidant is:
“A substance that protects cells from the damage caused by free radicals (unstable molecules made by the process of oxidation during normal metabolism). Free radicals may play a part in cancer, heart disease, stroke, and other diseases of aging. Antioxidants include beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamins A, C, and E, and other natural and manufactured substances.”
Free radicals cause harm within the body, yet they are a natural result of metabolization. We cannot prevent our bodies from getting free radicals inside them, but we can give our bodies nutrients, supplements, minerals, and natural substances to neutralize free radicals. Of all the antioxidants available to us in the natural world, C60 may yet be the most potent & effective.
Carbon 60 is a super-antioxidant, up to 172X stronger than vitamin C! And it is not only an antioxidant but also an antioxidant catalyst, meaning it supports the function of other antioxidants. Carbon 60 is also an adaptogen, which means it helps reduce stress naturally. C60 has been hypothesized to be able to cleanse the body of harmful toxins above & beyond free radicals, though research is still being conducted to prove such a hypothesis.
In summary, the existence of free radicals inside the body is a big part of what causes aging and, eventually, death. With daily supplementation of C60, individuals may be able to live longer lives, simply because they are taking a proactive stance against free radical activity within their bodies. A simple deduction.
Why Suspend Carbon 60 in Pumpkin Seed Oil?
C60 doesn’t dissolve in water. It’s hydrophobic, which means it stays separate from water. When left in water, C60 molecules clump together. This causes C60 to lose some of the unique properties related to its shape. C60 is not a food or a drug; a product containing C60 is considered a supplement. C60 is a molecule, microscopic at that, and to be ingested in the body it is usually suspended in an oil-based solution of some kind and taken orally. Our experts at Immune Solution selected pumpkin seed oil, partially because it is the perfect liquid agent in which to dissolve C60, and partially because pumpkin seed oil helps activate many of C60’s health benefits.
Immune Solution’s C60 – Give Your Body the Potent & Powerful Wellness Boost it Needs
Whereas most natural supplements & health remedies are meant to address a specific area of health, Carbon 60 is thought to be the most generous of supplements because it can improve virtually all areas of health. Because C60 cleanses the body and deactivates free radicals, entire regions of the body experience health improvement. We’ve had customers report anything from having more energy, thinking faster & more clearly, remembering things more efficiently, feeling less stress & anxiety, sleeping better at night, feeling more confident, being more productive, having more drive & passion, feeling younger, feeling stronger during exercise, suffering less inflammation, etc.
