Episode Details

Can one molecule almost double our lifespan?

Chris Burres is the founder and chief scientist at MyVitalC, the oldest and longest manufacturer of the Nobel Prize-winning ESS60 molecule. He came here to explain why almost nobody has heard of it.

The story gets stranger the further in we go. Rice University scientists discovered this ball-shaped carbon molecule in 1985. It performs better than most existing materials in batteries, tires, and inks, and its antioxidant properties are far more powerful than vitamin C. Then a French toxicity study produced unexpected longevity results.

Chris outlines the manufacturing process, the liver recovery data, the cancer cell study, the sleep testimonials, and the pet results that leave placebo out of the argument.

If you've ever taken C60 and wondered whether you were drinking expensive pee, this one is for you.
