C60 Fullerene in Olive Oil

Biohacker Review: Tastes like... Olive oil!

Day 1
I was excited to pick up my package from Infinite Age. The product presents nicely and looks relatively unsuspicious compared with a lot of Nootropics I've tried. The olive oil comes in a black glass bottle which is the proper way to package this sort of thing. I'm always suspicious of "health" products that come in BPA-laden plastic bottles.

I poured out a tablespoon of the stuff, it tastes like olive oil, there was no detectable taste or aftertaste which was different than other high-quality olive oils I've tried previously. The first dosing produced no notable Nootropic effect. I look forward to continuing to use the stuff!

This stuff may alleviate the hangover after a night of feasting and boozing. Here in Bulgaria, we celebrate holidays with a lot of fine food and drink. On forgiveness day (March 10th) here my wife's family served me seemingly endless tasty morsels and at least three different types of booze. I went to bed feeling a bit bloated and drunk, usually a recipe for waking up with a hangover! But I did a tablespoon of C60 before bed, drank a lot of water, and awoke feeling quite normal. It would make sense that a super antioxidant would detoxify me after boozing too much.

Around the internet, I had heard that most people take a tablespoon of C60 in olive oil. So my wife and I would just have a tablespoon after dinner daily. But the C60Supply.com product is a higher concentration of C60; it's .8 milligrams per milliliter and a tablespoon is nearly 15 milliliters so we were doing like 12 milligrams of C60 daily, which is on the high end of the dosage range. At this rate, a bottle from C60Supply.com lasts about a week. In the future, I would take it at a lower dose than 12 milligrams daily, as an already very healthy young man I probably don't need nearly that much.

I noticed the weeks I was using the stuff a small uptick in my general mood and motivation. I also noticed that I seemed to wake up a bit earlier with more vigor to take on the day. But I wouldn't consider it a classic Nootropic that energizes me and enhances cognition.

After I finished two bottles, I began using C60 and CBD/Hemp Extract selectively. I didn't take it daily, I used it as a post-workout recovery sleep hack, I took it in lower doses of about half a teaspoon as opposed to a whole tablespoon.

Here, I interview my jolly old father-in-law about his experience taking C60 in Olive Oil. He was initially skeptical of C60 but was surprised to experience noticeable positive effects within a week on his energy levels and digestive function.

If I could, C60 is one anti-aging agent that I would use daily forever; it has no downside and significant upside promise as a long-term longevity hack.

What is C60?

C60, carbon 60, or buckminsterfullerene, also known as a buckyball, is a type of fullerene. The tiny molecule has sixty carbon atoms, hence the name. The atoms have a spherical arrangement forming the molecule. Fullerene is a family of different carbon structures. Fullerenes can have as few as twenty carbon atoms or as many as a hundred. They are known to have interesting chemical properties that have made them quite popular in various industries. The full spectrum of possible applications of fullerenes such as C60 is still being explored.

What is Buckminsterfullerene?

Buckminsterfullerene Carbon 60 molecule

Buckminsterfullerene resembles a football or soccer ball as it is known stateside. The molecule has a truncated icosahedrons shape, kind of a cage-like structure with a fused ring. The molecule has twelve pentagons and twenty hexagons. One carbon atom is at every vertex of all the polygons. A bond between two carbon atoms forms each edge of every polygon.

Buckminsterfullerene is an allotrope of carbon. It is a macromolecule. C60 is a pure carbon molecule, much like graphite and diamond. It has a catenation property and can self-link which makes the formation of the long chain of the molecule possible. The IUPAC name of buckminsterfullerene is (C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerene. The chemical formula is C60 and the molar mass is 720.66 g•mol−1. The appearance of the molecule is dark crystals that look like needles. The density of the insoluble molecule is 1.65 g/cm3.

C60 was recently discovered in 1985. It was the third allotrope of carbon to have been discovered and then manufactured. Four scientists are credited with the discovery of buckminsterfullerene. The molecule is named in the honor of Buckminster Fuller. He was an American architect who invented the geodesic dome. The spherical C60 molecules look similar to the geodesic dome popularized by Buckminster Fuller. Other popular fullerenes are C72, C76, C82, and C84. These along with C60 are found in nature. They are found in lightning discharge, soot, and shungite, which is a mineral. C60 is also found in the dust around stars.

The C60 used in various industries and for myriad applications is manufactured in laboratories. Carbon electrodes are subjected to electric discharges to form soot. Carbon 60 molecules are extracted from the soot. C60 fullerene or buckyballs have fascinated many scientists because of various reasons. The molecules are substantially stable. They do not dissolve in water that easily. They do not dissolve in most solvents. The spherical structure of the crystal can effectively trap more atoms and the molecule can serve as a superconductor. The molecule behaves as a particle and as a wave in quantum physics.

C60 is capable of enduring high pressures and temperatures. The molecule interacts with other atoms without compromising its shape or structure. The molecule can take on extra electrons through oxidization, which is a reversible process. Carbon 60 molecules transmit slightly bluish and reddish lights giving a purplish hue if the preparation is pure. In its solid state, C60 is relatively soft. It is similar to graphite which is used in pencils. However, when exposed to enormous pressure, C60 can turn hard like a diamond. Exposure to light of higher intensities increases the absorption ability of the molecule. C60 is an antioxidant that has been proven to be absolutely harmless for rats. There is reason to believe C60 can prolong the longevity or lifespan of rats, as has been found in extensive research conducted a few years back.

Uses of C60

C60 is a promising molecule. It is still not clear how many different ways the molecule may be used and to what extent. For now, the allotrope of carbon is used as a light absorber and an attractor of electrons so C60 has found its utility in solar cells. It is quite effective at generating power when exposed to solar energy. Buckyballs or C60 are used in lubricants. They are presently being explored for their effectiveness as and in electrical conductors as well as superconductors.

There is ongoing research exploring the ability of fullerene buckyballs to store hydrogen. If it is proven to be effective on a practical scale, then C60 may find good use as a source of fuel, especially for cars powered by hydrogen. Some manufacturers are using non-carbon fullerenes in bulletproof vests. C60 is a powerful antioxidant and can fight free radicals must more effectively and quickly than those we consume or rely on now. C60 may be effective at neutralizing bacteria in water and the various types of purification and filtration systems.

There are various types of biomedical research in progress right now. C60 is being experimented with to study its effectiveness in reducing inflammations such as those caused by allergic reactions, preventing or reversing degeneration caused or facilitated by multiple sclerosis, holding on to proteins in patients diagnosed with aids so the infection does not spread, and reducing certain signs of aging as well as the possible prolonging of mortal lifespan in mammals. The research pertaining to the possible impact on lifespan is far from human trials. It is yet to be ascertained if the allotrope of carbon is effective at increasing the lifespan of mammals in general. The research on rats has been resoundingly encouraging for the biomedical community around the world.

Health Benefits of C60

Several health benefits of C60 have been proven and others are more experiential. Further research is underway to substantiate the experiential benefits. Whether or not C60 actually increases lifespan is still not proven but it is a fact that it can fight free radicals in the human body. C60 can strengthen immunity and improve the range of immune functions. Many people have reported relief from symptoms and inflammation associated with arthritis.

Since C60 can prevent apoptosis in neurons, there is reason to believe that it can improve symptoms of Alzheimer’s. C60 can protect cartilage, strengthen bones, eliminate bacteria and viruses from the system, inhibits the growth of different types of tumors, protects against the ultraviolet radiation of the sun, reverse some disorders of the skin, and preserve fertility in men.
