The Red Light Report

The Mitochondrial Triad Presentation, Pt. 3 (Carbon 60)


Listen Later

We have finally arrived at the third and concluding segment of The Mitochondrial Presentation, which covers carbon 60 (i.e., C60, Buckminsterfullerene, & ESS60). Compared to our two preceding mitochondrial modalities of red light therapy and methylene blue, C60 has been in the human purview for a far shorter timeline. However, don't let that short duration fool you, as C60 has been the focal point of the most sensational longevity study in scientific history. If a molecule or a health habit improves lifespan by 10 or 20%, that is considered quite impressive and noteworthy. In that pivotal 2012 Paris study, C60 improved the lifespan of rats by an unprecedented 90%! 

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 :)

As always, light up your health!
