C60
Nobel Prize-Winning Molecule
ESS60 · Carbon 60
Molecular Formula: C₆₀ · Fullerene · "Buckyball"
Nobel Prize — 1996. Buckminster Fullerene (C60) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, recognizing it as one of the most significant molecular discoveries of the 20th century.
60-carbon soccer-ball structure — each carbon atom is precisely bonded in a geodesic sphere, allowing ESS60 to neutralize free radicals without itself being consumed.
Produced in Houston, TX by myVitalC — one of the world's leading certified manufacturers of pharmaceutical-grade ESS60, operating since 1991.
What Makes ESS60 Different

Not a Vitamin.
Not an Herb.
An Entirely New Category.

Carbon 60 is a naturally occurring carbon allotrope — same family as graphite and diamond — but shaped into a perfect, hollow sphere that acts as the most potent free radical sponge ever identified. ESS60 is myVitalC's certified, pharmaceutical-grade C60 suspended in carrier oils or encapsulated for daily supplementation.

  • Catalytic antioxidant — unlike Vitamin C or Vitamin E which are consumed after neutralizing one free radical, ESS60 regenerates and continues working. One molecule, thousands of reactions.
  • Lipophilic carrier delivery — suspended in premium olive oil, MCT oil, or avocado oil for maximum bioavailability. The lipid environment facilitates rapid cellular absorption.
  • Zero toxicity profile — the 2012 Baati study (which produced the landmark 90% lifespan increase) specifically confirmed that ESS60 is non-toxic even at repeated high doses.
  • Cross-body system activity — ESS60 has demonstrated activity across neurological, mitochondrial, hepatic, musculoskeletal, and immune systems in published research.
What Clients Report

8 Reasons Practitioners
Are Adding ESS60 to Every Stack

From pain recovery to deep sleep to cognitive clarity — ESS60's system-wide antioxidant effect touches virtually every wellness goal your clients bring in the door.

Energy & Vitality
Mitochondrial oxidative stress is the primary driver of cellular fatigue. ESS60's antioxidant activity at the mitochondrial level supports sustained natural energy without stimulants.
🏋️
Exercise Recovery
Intense exercise generates massive oxidative load. ESS60 neutralizes exercise-induced free radicals, supporting faster muscle recovery, less soreness, and better next-day performance.
😴
Sleep Quality
Users consistently report deeper, more restorative sleep. Oxidative stress is a key disruptor of sleep architecture — ESS60's systemic antioxidant activity supports natural sleep depth.
🧠
Mental Focus & Clarity
The brain is the most metabolically active organ and highly vulnerable to oxidative damage. ESS60 crosses the blood-brain barrier, supporting cognitive clarity and neuroprotection.
🦴
Joint Health & Mobility
Inflammatory joint conditions are driven largely by ROS (reactive oxygen species). ESS60's radical-scavenging properties support joint comfort and flexibility across a range of musculoskeletal presentations.
🛡️
Anti-Aging & Longevity
The oxidative theory of aging links cumulative free radical damage to cellular senescence. ESS60's exceptional antioxidant profile makes it a core longevity supplement — backed by the landmark 90% lifespan study.
👁️
Vision Support
Retinal cells face constant oxidative stress from light exposure. ESS60 supports ocular health through its neuroprotective and antioxidant mechanisms, with users reporting improved visual clarity.
🐾
Pet Health
myVitalC Pet formulas (bacon for dogs, salmon for cats) bring the same ESS60 benefits to companion animals — mobility, energy, and healthy aging for beloved pets.

The Science Behind ESS60

Carbon 60 research spans 30+ years and multiple institutions worldwide. The findings are consistent: ESS60 is non-toxic, powerfully antioxidant, and biologically active across multiple body systems.

⭐ Landmark Study · 2012 · Biomaterials

The Baati Rat Study — "The Buckyball Study"

Published in the journal Biomaterials in 2012, this study set out to test C60's toxicity in rats — and instead made global headlines when subjects treated with C60 in olive oil lived nearly twice as long as controls. The study measured a 90% increase in lifespan versus control subjects given only water or olive oil. The C60-treated rats also showed near-zero liver toxicity markers — directly contradicting the hypothesis that C60 would be harmful at the doses given.

Dosage & Protocol

How to Use ESS60

Simple daily protocol — no complicated timing, no loading phases. Just consistent daily use to maintain antioxidant saturation.

Step 01
🌅
Take Once Daily
Most users take 1 teaspoon (5ml) of ESS60 oil or 1 softgel capsule once daily, preferably in the morning with or without food. The fat-based carrier aids absorption regardless of whether you've eaten.
Step 02
🥛
Use the Oil Directly or Mix
Take ESS60 oil directly by spoon, mix into a smoothie, add to coffee, or drizzle over food. The MCT and avocado oil versions blend more easily into drinks. Avoid heating to preserve the molecule.
Step 03
📅
Be Consistent for 30 Days
Like most antioxidant supplements, ESS60's benefits build over time as oxidative stress is systematically reduced. Most users report noticeable changes in energy, sleep, and recovery within 2–4 weeks of consistent daily use.
Step 04

Common Questions

ESS60 FAQ

ESS60 stands for "Essential 60" — myVitalC's proprietary, pharmaceutical-grade production of Carbon 60 fullerene (C60). C60 is the general scientific term for the molecule; ESS60 refers specifically to myVitalC's certified, purity-verified production standard. All myVitalC products are manufactured in their Houston laboratory where the founders have 30+ years of experience with carbon nanomaterials — ensuring consistent potency, purity, and safety in every batch.
The landmark 2012 Baati study — the most-cited C60 study ever published — was designed to test toxicity and found no toxic effects even at repeated high oral doses. The rats given C60 in olive oil not only showed zero liver toxicity, they lived 90% longer than controls. Gharbi et al. (2005) also specifically confirmed ESS60's "hepatoprotective" (liver-protective) properties. To date, no published peer-reviewed study has established toxic effects from orally administered C60 in olive oil at normal dosing levels.
Results vary by individual, but most users report meaningful changes in energy, sleep quality, and recovery within 2–4 weeks of consistent daily use. Joint-related benefits often develop over 4–8 weeks as oxidative inflammation is progressively reduced. Some users report noticing improved mental clarity within the first week. Because ESS60's mechanism is systemic antioxidant load reduction rather than a stimulant effect, benefits build gradually and tend to be sustained.
All three deliver the same ESS60 molecule at equivalent potency. The difference is taste and application. Olive oil is the original study formula and widely considered the gold standard. MCT oil is neutral in flavor, mixes easily into coffee or shakes, and is ideal for keto or paleo-aligned clients. Avocado oil has a mild buttery taste and the added benefit of avocado's oleic acid nutritional profile. We recommend starting with olive oil and experimenting from there.
Yes — and the combination is where practitioners are seeing exceptional results. ESS60 works at the cellular oxidative stress level, making it a complementary foundation for nearly every other FA technology. PEMF, hydrogen therapy, and red light therapy all produce their benefits partly by reducing oxidative stress and supporting mitochondrial function — ESS60 amplifies these effects by reducing the baseline oxidative load the body is managing before each session. Ask your FA specialist about stacking protocols.
