Your Daily Serving of Carbon 60 (C60)

More and more people are looking for ways to live a full and healthy life. Knowing the proper Carbon 60 (C60) serving size or intake may be useful to know as studies have shown that C60 may provide a wide array of health benefits. 

Needless to say, if you want to reap the full benefits of Carbon 60 antioxidants then you need to follow the appropriate recommended C60 serving. Be sure to keep reading as we delve deeper into the importance of maintaining the proper carbon 60 serving and how it may improve your health and wellness in the long run.

Why Take C60?

Why do people take C60? What is it, exactly? These are the questions that we need to get out of the way so that you can better understand the importance of following the recommended daily C60 serving.

Put simply, Carbon 60 is a naturally-occurring molecule with a unique molecular configuration. It is composed of 60 carbon atoms which form a hollow sphere that closely resembles a soccer ball. The peculiar formation of this molecule is crucial to understanding its properties as it also helps explain the potential benefits and application of C60 in health sciences. 

The most common use of C60 is as an antioxidant. However, what sets it apart is that it is one of the most efficient antioxidants discovered. Studies have shown that it is at least several hundred times more effective than other conventional antioxidants. One groundbreaking study even dubbed C60 as a free radical sponge.1 

For context, excessive free radical buildup is bad for your general health.2 Having too many free radicals in your system leads to oxidative stress. Take note that not only does oxidative stress play a major role in aging, but it is also closely related to the development of many diseases and health conditions. Luckily, Carbon 60 actively combats free radicals. 

The importance of consistent C60 consumption cannot be overstated. By taking your daily serving of C60, you are helping your body combat the effects of oxidative stress as well as supporting your mitochondria and cellular health.

Knowing the Correct C60 Serving

Getting the correct Carbon 60 serving is crucial if you wish to reap the full benefits of this powerful antioxidant. However, it should also be noted here that the exact serving size depends on several variables. 

Namely, factors such as age, weight, and state of overall health all come into play. This is because these factors will determine how much assistance your body requires from Carbon 60. 

For instance, let’s say that you are under 45 years old, you are not overweight, and in good physical condition, then your daily C60 serving could be as little as one teaspoon a day. On the other hand, if you are older and suffering from specific conditions, then you may need  to increase your serving size. The highest recommended serving is somewhere around two tablespoons per day.

Just remember that Carbon 60 is typically taken in the morning. This is because C60 boosts your body’s metabolic functions and optimizes energy production at a cellular level.3 It may have a subtle, energizing effect.

That said, it is recommended that you go slowly and incrementally increase the amount of C60 you are consuming until you reach your ideal daily serving. This is because some people may experience detox symptoms when they first start taking C60 as many people are not used to consuming healthy oils on a daily basis.

If you experience the detox symptoms yourself, don’t fret as it is completely normal. However, it is also recommended that you increase your fluid intake during this stage by drinking more water. The symptoms should subside after a few days of taking C60 as your body gets used to consuming health oils. If you have any questions or concerns, reach out to your medical provider and discontinue use if symptoms persist.

What happens if I go over the recommended Carbon 60 Serving?

There is no need to worry if you go over the recommended daily serving. The threat of toxicity is non-existent. Even at levels 10,000 times the recommended serving size, studies have shown that singly dissolved molecules of C60 are completely safe and non-toxic. 

The worst thing that could happen from going over the daily C60 serving is overstimulation and slight digestive issues. This is comparable to ingesting too much fat. You may experience spikes in energy levels, potential disruption of your sleep cycle, or the need to use the bathroom frequently until your body becomes accustomed to the daily consumption of healthy oils.
