Abstract

We are reporting a breakthrough in the solubilization of Carbon 60 crystals using a non-toxic, non-polar solvent which enables for the first time the development of functional products containing C60 at effective concentrations. Over one hundred human conditions and diseases have been linked to the excess production of free radical molecules [1]. A solubilized C60 is uniquely capable of diffusing into cells and mitochondria to neutralize dangerous free radical molecules that cause damage to proteins, fats and DNA, resulting in disease. This innovation opens to doors to many opportunities to apply C60 to prevent or stop disease including cancer, autoimmune diseases, the Cytokine Storm as occurs in COVID and influenza infections, inflammatory conditions, radiation and sunburn.

Keywords: Solubilization; Carbon 60; Solvent
