How Much Carbon (C60) Should an Adult Take Each Day?

Carbon 60 is a powerful  antioxidant that helps promote your general health and wellbeing. However, a question that constantly comes up is the proper C60 dosage. How much C60 should adults take per day?

This is precisely the question that will be addressed in this guide. We'll also be tackling some of the most frequently asked questions regarding Carbon 60 dosage. So, be sure to keep reading. 

Why Should Adults Take Carbon 60 (C60) Antioxidants?

Before anything else, we must first delve into why adults should take these C60 antioxidants in the first place. If you are familiar with the health and wellness conversations, then you might have heard about Carbon 60. 

That said, what exactly is C60 and what does it do for your body? 

Carbon 60 (C60) is a naturally occurring molecule. It is made up of 60 carbon atoms that form a sphere - imagine a hollow soccer ball. This molecule has captured the attention of the scientific community since its discovery in the mid-80's. It has been the subject of many  studies as experts lookto understand and explore its potential uses.

One such study found that C60 has an antioxidant efficacy rate that is at least several hundred times higher than traditional antioxidants. This is an unprecedented discovery, one that has led researchers to dub it a "free radical sponge".1  

To provide a bit of context, antioxidants are the centerpiece of your body's natural self-repair mechanisms.2 Their primary purpose is to neutralize unstable molecules known as free radicals. Remember that accumulating too many free radicals in your system leads to oxidative stress - a biological process that has been closely linked to cell and tissue damage that facilitates premature aging and the potential development of various health issues.  

Carbon 60's unique cage-likemolecular structure helps it perform its task as the ultimate natural antioxidant. Carbon 60 molecules can easily absorb and give off electrons to stabilize free radical molecules. This also enables C60 to protect cells against free radical damage.3 

Interestingly, C60 may also lead to a couple of additional health benefits. For instance, C60 helps support energy and stamina levels. It may also help improve athletic performance and recovery time. By functioning as a super antioxidant, C60 improves energy production at the cellular level by engaging the mitochondria and encouraging additional ATP production.4

Additionally, studies have found that Carbon 60 may also help to promote a balanced immune response. Specifically, it helps with the production of white blood cells.5 Moreover, it may stimulate a healthy inflammatory response.6 

Taking all of these into account, it is clear why adults should take C60 antioxidants. Simply put, it is an effective way to promote general wellness and  quality of life.

Determining the Correct C60 Dosage for Adults

Following the recommended Carbon 60 dosage is crucial to getting the full effect of the antioxidants. However, there are a couple of things that you should take note of first.  Specifically, the exact C60 daily dose may differ between individuals. 

A person's age, weight, and state of overall health need to be accounted for first. These factors will ultimately determine how much C60 your body needs. Younger and healthier individuals may need less C60 compared to those who are older, weigh more, and working to address long term conditions. 

To better illustrate how this works, we'll provide a couple of scenarios. On the one hand, we have someone in their late 20s and top physical condition. On the other hand, we have someone in their early 50s a bit overweight and is dealing with some significant challenges.. A glance would tell us that that older person needs more C60 in their system compared to their younger and healthier counterpart.

In short, there is a range and it depends on your specific circumstances. However, it should be made clear that there is a minimum and a maximum dose. The minimum C60 dosage is one teaspoon a day. This is for younger people and those with better health conditions. Conversely, the highest recommended Carbon 60 dosage is somewhere around two tablespoon a day.

Carbon 60 Dosage FAQs 

What Happens If I Underdose?

Underdosing simply means that your body won't be getting the level of assistance that it may get from C60 antioxidants. You may not see the increase in energy and mental clarity that many people who include C60 into their daily routine note within 30 days of daily use. The way to address this issue is to increase the dosage to a tablespoon per day.

What Happens If I Go Over the Recommended C60 Dosage?

Unlike with other antioxidants, going over the recommended daily dose poses no problem as there is no threat of toxicity when it comes to Carbon 60. Studies have shown that singly dissolved molecules of C60 remain safe and non-toxic even at levels 10,000 times higher than the recommended dosage.

If you consume more than the recommended daily amount, you may experience feelings of overstimulation and slight digestive issues. This has been compared to the experience of consuming too much fat. You may also experience disruptions in your sleep schedule as feelings of stimulation and bursts of energy linger in their system. 

When Is the Best Time to Take C60?

It is highly recommended that you take Carbon 60 antioxidants in the morning. This is meant to help your body optimize the energy boost that comes with Carbon 60 and avoid any possible disruption in your sleep cycle.
