What you are not supposed to know about C60
Two years ago we, the industrious compilers of this free web magazine, were quite enthusiastic about the longevity supplement C60. Of course we were. How can you not be excited when a French animal study says that laboratory rats live almost twice as long as normal when given C60. However, after reading a publication by researchers at State University of New York, we have decided to ignore C60 for the time being.
Study
In his article, Grohn describes experiments in which he injected laboratory animals with C60 for life. As a result, the test animals, unlike in the French study, did not live longer. Because Grohn's experimental design differs from that of the French, you cannot deduce that the French did not do their research properly.
We'll leave this part of Grohn's research out of this post.
Results
To be honest, that doesn't surprise us. In 2019, French researchers also found contaminants in C60 products.
In test tubes, the C60 molecules made by the researchers knocked out free radicals, but the products the researchers had bought did not. There was even a purchased C60 preparation that turned out to have a free radical activity in itself.
A few days of exposure to light did not affect the biological effects of the C60 preparations. After an exposure of 4 days or more, the preparations turned into dangerous products. When the researchers gave these to lab animals in large quantities on a one-off basis, a quarter to half of the animals died within 14 days.
Conclusion
The thrust of Grohn's research is clear. Only if you are 100% sure that a C60 product has been carefully produced and has never been exposed to light, should you consider using it. p>
