Is avocado oil better than olive oil? Both avocado oil and olive oil have a high antioxidant content that confers a number of well-established benefits. While olive oil has a strong pungent and spicy flavour profile, avocado oil has a very subtle herbaceous and slightly sweet taste that is more palatable for sublingual administration and is easier to digest than olive oil. Avocado oil is a top choice not only for oral consumption owing to its ease of digestion and neutral taste, but also for skin and hair applications due to its high monounsaturated fat content which promotes significantly better absorption compared to other oils. It is rich in oleic acid, plant sterols, vitamins A, D and E – all of which can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and gut. It is a lightweight oil that makes hair and skin look youthful, vibrant, moisturized and rejuvenated, and hence is used extensively in making skin creams, hair serums, lotions and ointments.
When we are stressed, our adrenals release cortisol and adrenaline which boost our heart rate, blood pressure, tense our muscles and sharpen our focus. While evolution would have favoured such a coping mechanism to help us flee from predators and other dangers, such a response is not meant to persist for a long period of time. If we are constantly stressed due to work, family commitments, financial responsibilities and other troubles, the rush of energy released by cortisol and adrenaline is what drives many of us through our busy and stressful lives. If our cortisol levels remain elevated they start to wreak havoc on our health by causing chronic inflammation linked to diseases including diabetes, Alzheimer’s, obesity and cancer. We may even find ourselves essentially too energized or wired to fall asleep. C60 functions as an adaptogen and works to bring our body back into a state of balance. In doing so it may lower cortisol and adrenaline, thus bringing our body and mind into a more relaxed state. If it is sleep that we are lacking, then drowsiness ensues. In supporting our body’s attempt to heal itself, taking C60 in the evening and/or before bed may help us enjoy more restful and rejuvenating sleep, thus allowing our bodies to start healing on a physical and mental level.
Absolutely - most pets are severely deficient in antioxidants and their diet can be supplemented with C60. Numerous scientific experiments and anecdotal evidence have demonstrated remarkable positive health and wellness outcomes in a large variety of pets. Pets suffering from lethargy, infertility, and aging-related afflictions experienced an overall boost in health, vitality and longevity when given small amounts corresponding to their body weight and ability to digest the oils.
C60 is a truly universal antioxidant that protects against free radicals of all types by permanently neutralizing them and flushing them out of the body. During the initial stages of using C60 a small subset of users may experience a surge in the release of toxins. This may cause some unpleasant symptoms including an increased need for sleep, diarrhea and muscle soreness that may be experienced in the first 24 - 48 hrs. These detox symptoms are comparable to doing a juice fast or a strict detox regiment. For those who use C60 topically to alleviate skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, a subset of users may experiment a healing crisis i.e ‘Herxheimer Reaction’ wherein affected areas of skin may become more inflamed and sensitive for a period of time before the patches start to disappear. This is the result of the body replacing all the unhealthy tissues rapidly, and eliminating existing toxins at a faster rate than they can be removed. This process may last for a period of days or weeks depending on each individual’s unique health factors. Eating more plant-based foods that are low in sugar and carbs, and consuming adequate amount of good quality water will support your body's natural detoxification and regeneration process.
C60 dissolved in either olive or avocado oil is not toxic. A study that sought to explore the toxicity profile of C60 found that it is not toxic even at very high doses that were administered for extended periods of time. On the contrary, rats that were given C60 were actually protected from the toxic effects of chemicals and lethal doses of radiation. This surprising find is what generated a lot of excitement in the research field.
