What is Carbon C60
Carbon C60 (also known as C60, buckminsterfullerene, fullerene-60 or buckyball) is, simply, a highly beneficial form of carbon. The most powerful antioxidant yet known. Carbon 60 has been extensively explored in biomedical research due to its unique structure and unparalleled physicochemical properties. C60 is characterized as a “free radical sponge” with an antioxidant efficacy several hundred fold higher than conventional antioxidants. C60 is known to:
• Improve Longevity
• Protect Against Free Radicals
• Fight Inflammation
• Kill Viruses & Bacteria
• Protect and Calm Nerves
• Promote Strong Metabolism
• Prevent Osteoarthritis
Benefits In Detail
May Reverse Skin Disorders
Fullerene-60 has been extensively tested for use in skincare applications, especially when the results were in about it's impressive anti-radiation benefits.
In rat models of dermatitis, it was shown that C60 reduced inflammation and promoted better skin barrier function, especially when administered topically (as opposed to being injected into the skin).
Impaired barrier function, as well as increased inflammation, are two of the main problems in dermatitis. When the barrier does not function properly, it allows pollutants and other toxins from the environment to infiltrate the skin, which causes a continuous cycle of inflammation. Carbon-60 helps put an end to this cycle.
For use in treating severe acne, it was shown that carbon-60 applied topically to skin decreased the number of skin lesions, pimples and oils found on the skin. It also helped significantly increase the moisture content of the skin after 8 weeks, suggesting it could be used beneficially in anti-dermatitis moisturizers.
Interestingly, it was proven that lower concentrations of C60 permeated more deeply into the skin, while larger concentrations tended to hang out on the surface.
Larger concentrations were also more effective at promoting better skin barrier function, but just on the surface of the skin. This suggests that lower concentrations are better for reducing inflammation in deeper levels of the skin, such as those with basal carcinomas.
In the case of certain types of skin disorders which result in hair loss or alopecia, carbon-60 can once again come to the rescue! It was proven that carbon-60 promoted rapid hair growth in bald mice.
Increase Longevity
The Paris or Baati study is likely the most famous experiment performed using carbon-60. The findings reveal that this molecule is not only non-toxic but increases the lifespan of rats by 90%!
Part of this is possibly due to the fact that Carbon-60 has a high affinity for both cellular and mitochondrial membranes. It helps protect both of these structures, which are integral to the lifespan of our cells and ultimately us.
There are several studies proving that water-soluble C60 prevents mitochondrial dysfunction, which promotes longevity, as well as optimal health and increased energy levels. One in particular showed that rats exposed to fatal levels of radiation managed to survive for 30 days after the event.
Scavenges Free Radicals
Ever since the first experiments were conducted on buckyballs, it was concluded that this molecule acts as a free radical sponge, mopping up any that it encounters. It has been reported that this molecule has an antioxidant capacity several hundred times higher than other antioxidants!
Unlike other antioxidants, which can bind to free radicals molecule-for-molecule, carbon-60 can accumulate dozens of them before it can no longer do so. For example, it has been reported that C60 can hold up to 34 methyl radicals at one time.
This combined with it's ability to by-pass cellular membranes, including the blood-brain-barrier , as well as its affinity for DNA, mitochondria and cellular membranes, place C60 within a league of its own. Moreover, once the free radicals have bound to it, they are 100% neutralized and do not interact with C60 or anything else along the way.
Another research paper showed that a specific malonic acid form of C60 mimicked the action of SOD, removing superoxide, which is a harmful by-product produced by cells. This shows that scavenging free radicals is not Carbon-60's only means of acting as an antioxidant, but that it is capable of neutralizing pollutants via chemical reduction reactions too.
Reduces Inflammation
Seeing as Carbon-60 is such potent free radical scavenger, it makes sense that it helps reduce inflammation, especially as seen in arthritis. In both human cell cultures and rats which had arthritis, water-soluble C60 suppressed inflammation in the joints and bones. From a mitochondrial perspective, buckminsterfullerene helps to bring the mitochondria back into balance, which corrects the immune system and results in less bodily inflammation as a whole.
Improves Immune Function
Aside from protecting mitochondria and cells from free radical damage, water-soluble C60 has been shown to stimulate the immune system in other ways.
These include stimulating the production of immune cells such as lymphocytes (white blood cells) and useful cytokines, such as TNF-alpha, both of which play a key role in fighting off infections and even tumor cellsю.
Thanks to the potent antioxidant ability of this miracle molecule, it can stop you from having allergies and severe allergic reactions 11 (anaphylaxis). Levels of histamine, IgE's and other inflammatory compounds associated with allergy were greatly reduced with the intervention of carbon-60.
This makes fullerene 60 a perfect treatment for asthma, respiratory problems, heart attacks, and cardiovascular disease.
Protects Cartilage & Improves Bone Health
In one of the studies quoted above, buckyballs prevented bone damage and bone resorption when injected into the ankles of arthritic rats. Further data indicates that carbon-60 does not just help to improve bone mineral density, but that it also protects cartilage. In rabbits that had been induced with osteoarthritis in their knees, water-soluble C60 prevented cartilage cells from aging prematurely or dying off, as well as increasing cartilage production and reducing enzymes that would destroy it.
Fullerene 60 also proved to be superior to hyaluronic acid, which is the stuff that surrounds the cartilage in joints and is used as a common osteoarthritis treatment. Thus, Carbon-60 in it's water-soluble form could potentially be one of the best treatments for both osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
Helps Eradicate Bacteria & Viruses, Including HIV
That's right - it was even shown that carbon-60 has the ability to inhibit HIV and prevent the onset of AIDS!
Research also highlights that this wonder molecule has the ability to prevent the spread of human cytomegalovirus, hepatitis C, Semliki Forest Virus and Vesicular Stomatitis Virus.
Specific types of fullerene 60 known as fullerenols were shown to inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Candida albicans, and Malassezia furfur, which are all commonly found to infect the skin.
Inhibits Tumor Growth
This is a truly remarkable discovery. It was revealed that water-soluble fullerene-60 prevents certain bone marrow stem cells and breast cancer cells from communicating. This communication tends to result in the cancer spreading rapidly (metastasis).
It was shown to do this by correcting MAPK-ERK signaling in the stem cells. This MAPK pathway is a way for the surface of the cell and the DNA in the nucleus to engage, effectively acting as an on-off switch for DNA activity, such as cell division or protein production. In the formation of cancer, this switch becomes faulty, getting stuck in one position only.
Carbon-60 not only corrects the MAPK pathway, which would prevent tumors from forming, but it also corrects another anti-tumor pathway known as the NF-kB pathway. This is involved directly with the DNA of a cell, controlling processes such as transcription, inflammation and its lifespan. Correcting this pathway suggests that carbon-60 may cause cancer cells to self-destruct, but further research would need to be carried out to confirm this.
UV Radiation Protection
In lab experiments on cultured skin cells, it was proven that C60 infused ointment protected the skin from the damaging effects of UVA radiation. These harmful effects included DNA damage, the breakdown of collagen and cell death.
The cream on it's own barely did anything against the radiation, but with the addition of C60, these effects were significantly repressed! In the same study, it was noted that the buckyballs never went deeper than the outer layer of the skin, remaining where they needed to be to protect the outermost layers.
In separate research using the same carbon-60 doped cream, it was shown that this magic molecule also prevented free radicals from generating in the skin as a result of either UVA or UVB radiation.
The C60 could pass cellular membranes right near the DNA without causing any damage to the skin, while simultaneously protecting it! When a comparison was carried out, Buckyballs remain to be superior to other creams claiming to do the same thing.
