FAQs

Yes, many of our clients tell us they are taking more, sometimes significantly more, than 5ml per day. Some people in our office take as much as 15ml twice per day. For some, the issue is the quantity of Olive Oil. Please take what works with your body.

Olive Oil is a food, so it is not necessary to take C60 with additional food. However, no evidence shows that taking with food will reduce or enhance benefits

We recommend storing it just like you would any other olive oil. Ideally in a dark, cool space. We don’t recommend putting it in the fridge since it tends to clump. If it does clump due to cold weather in transit, just leave it out at room temperature and the oil will return to its normal state.

Singlewall nanotube – SWNT
Multiwall nanotube – MWNT

When the material is made (as-produce) the nanotubes comes straight out of the reactor with the approximate concentration of 95% MWNT ( 90% in the case of SWNT) nanotube vs. non-nanotube material. These nanotubes are then processed and purified. This step yields an increase in purity of the tubes which are sold as “Purified Open Material”. This steps uses a Heat and Acid Wash process, which removes the non-nanotubic material. (Non-Nanotubic material is usually comprised of amorphous and graphitic carbon, and metal catalyst. Also process may shortens the nanotubes by “end eroding” during the acid wash which removes the ends caps of the nanotubes.
A summary of the steps follows:

• Heat nanotubes in air to 300C to expose the carbon surface and oxidize the metal catalyst.
• Sonicate and wash in nitric acid and/or HCL  to remove the metal catalyst, amorphous carbons and to open the ends of the nanotubes.
• Clean with solvent and hot air dry.  (acetone, ether and etc.)

The typical recommended dose is 5ml per day. Use the calculator online to get a more precise dose. https://www.myvitalc.com/carbon-c60-olive-oil-dosage-calculation
We tend to recommend a saturation month: double dose for the first month or saturation your next month. Ask about our saturation dose special.

To determine the purity of the nanotubes TGA gives a quantitative analysis of the level of concentration of up to 98% nanotubes and if necessary we can reprocess the tubes to achieve the proper purity level and metal content < .2%. by weight* We also use SEM and TEM to view and evaluated the material. Typically, SEM is used to evaluate the raw, as produce, Nanotubes and TEM is used to evaluate the purified nanotubes. Not every batch is tested due to cost and test equipment availability, but tests are ordered when processes are changed. *(Care must be taken when weighting the ash/metal content of the Nanotube in the TGA, the metal catalyst Nickel tends to form NiO2 in the TGA. This can offset the actual weight of the metal through the addition of the oxygen.)

We sell c60 in a purified powdered state and this form of it has not been tested on humans. C60 olive oil has not been tested on humans.

There’s an article available (The prolongation of the lifespan of rats by repeated oral administration of [60]fullerene – ScienceDirect) that suggest Carbon 60 (c60 or buckyballs) dissolved in extra virgin olive oil works for anti-aging.The reports indicate it was successfully tested on rats and the rats that recieved the treatment lived twice as long as rats without the treatment.

Some people love the taste of Olive Oil. Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil will leave a peppery aftertaste at the back of your throat and a small number of people do not like this taste/experience. The good thing is, if you eat or drink anything, the taste goes away immediately. Additionally, if you do not like the taste you can take the product with bread or on salads, or just get creative.

The pure Carbon Fullerenes that come out of our reactor after chemical extraction of the raw material will contain:

• Carbon 60 (C60)
• Carbon 70 (C70)
• Carbon 76 (C76)
• Carbon 78 (C78)
• Carbon 84 (C84), etc.

These are the pure Fullerene molecule spheres, and each will have its own properties and different concentration in the Raw Fullerene Soot.  After further processing and refinement, the individual fraction of C60 and C70 is isolated into a powder of different purity levels.

So, when we express the purity of the Carbon 60 99.5 percent, it will contain a minimum of 99.5% C60 and less than 0.499% C70, C76, C78, C84 and higher.

Then C60 99.99% will contain less than 0.001% of C70, C76/C78, C84.

Example: 100 grams of C60- 99.5% with contain a minimum of 99.5 grams of C60 and less than 0.4999 grams of C70, C78, C76, C84 and higher.

The testing of the purity is performed using a High Pressure/Performance Liquid Chromatography technique in which the Carbon Fullerene sample is dissolved back into solvent and tested for its purity.

Lastly, the VOD grade goes through additional processing to remove the solvents out of the C60.

The solvent will consist of Toluene, Hexanes, and Benzene.

C60 is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants in the world. In a recent study, C60 was discovered to double the lifespan of study subjects.

C60 is an allotropic form of carbon. It was discovered by Rice University researchers in 1985. Prior to the discovery of C60, there were only 2 types of allotropic carbon found in nature: diamond and graphite. C60 was added to the list in the mid-1980s.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET 

Results show that approximately 9-10 mg can at maximum be dissolved per mL of toluene at room temperature, when stirring the solution for a long time (several days). After that time, the dark red-brown solution is (almost) clear/transparent, meaning that the material has fully dissolved. We can, however, not exclude that some of it is still present as un-dissolved nanoparticles, which are not seen by the eye, nor can be easily filtered out.
Sonification may lead to a higher solubility, however, may also lead to more of these nanoparticles.

When heated, e.g. at 50 degrees C, more PCBM can be dissolved in toluene. Upon cooling to room temperature, the PCBM does not precipitate directly, but stays in solution for at least several hours. Thus, a supersaturated solution can be obtained.

PCBM is better soluble in so-called good fullerene solvents, such as chlorobenzene and ODCB. In the latter solvent, 50 mg/mL solutions can be made without too much trouble.

Our customers report the best results when taken in the morning. Our recommendation is to take C60 in Olive Oil as part of your breakfast routine.
