Frequently Asked Questions
We believe in transparency. Explore what the science says about C60 — and what questions remain unanswered.
What is C60?
Carbon 60 (C60), or Buckminsterfullerene, is a spherical carbon molecule discovered in 1985 by Kroto, Smalley, and Curl — earning them the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Its unique cage structure of 60 carbon atoms resembles a soccer ball and belongs to the fullerene family of carbon allotropes.
Antioxidant Properties
Laboratory studies suggest C60 may act as a free radical scavenger due to its electron-accepting structure. Research indicates it can interact with reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, most studies are in vitro or animal models — human clinical trials remain limited and preliminary.
Carrier Oils Explained
C60 is dissolved in carrier oils for consumption. Olive oil is the most studied and traditional choice. Avocado oil offers a milder taste and higher smoke point. MCT coconut oil provides medium-chain triglycerides for those seeking rapid absorption. Each oil has distinct properties — choose based on personal preference.
Dosage Considerations
There is no officially established recommended daily intake for C60 oil. Anecdotal reports suggest 1–5ml daily. If you are new to C60, start with a small amount, take with food, and observe your body's response. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplement.
C60 for Pets
C60 pet oil uses the same carbon 60 as our human products but in smaller sizes. Pet owners should consult their veterinarian before adding any supplement to their pet's routine, start with very small doses, and monitor their pet's response.
Quality Standards
Our C60 is lab-tested for purity and concentration. We use high-quality carrier oils and small-batch production. Every batch is carefully prepared to ensure consistent C60 concentration in olive, avocado, and MCT coconut oils.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is C60 oil safe? ▼
C60 oil has been used as a dietary supplement for years, but long-term human safety studies are limited. Consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you have medical conditions or take medications.
How should I store C60 oil? ▼
Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not required but can extend shelf life. Keep the bottle tightly sealed.
What is the shelf life? ▼
When stored properly, our C60 oils have a shelf life of approximately 12–24 months. Check the bottle for the specific best-before date.
Can I cook with C60 oil? ▼
We recommend consuming C60 oil as-is, not heated. High temperatures may affect the C60 molecule. For cooking, use regular carrier oils and take C60 oil separately.
Do you ship within Canada? ▼
Yes! We ship across Canada from our facility on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
