Our Process

From our inception in April of 2012, we have meticulously followed the original Baati / Paris method of Carbon 60 olive oil preparation. Our goal is to provide researchers with the same solution used to achieve the exciting results of this groundbreaking study.

We start with top quality ingredients: research grade Carbon 60 (ESS60) from the most respected source in the industry, SES Research—which begins at 99.99 % purity and is then vacuum oven dried to be completely solvent-free—and organic extra virgin olive oil which is locally produced here in Northern California.

To achieve the scientifically recognized maximum level of saturation (0.8 grams per liter / 0.8 mg per ml), we combine 5 grams of Carbon 60 per liter of organic extra virgin olive oil, as described in the Baati process. This ratio is more than 6 times the amount of Carbon 60 than can possibly saturate the solution, however, because very little of the Carbon 60 will dissolve in the two week mixing time, it is absolutely necessary. 

We mix this combination for two weeks using specialized equipment that ensures constant suspension of Carbon 60 particles. The mixing occurs in complete darkness, in temperature controlled conditions to avoid Carbon 60 degradation from light or heat. Over the course of this mixing period the Carbon 60 solution will turn a deep purple color and gradually become fully saturated.

Upon completion of this process, the oil is  filtered  prefilter to remove the undissolved Carbon 60 (undissolved Carbon 60 cannot be absorbed by the body and would simply pass through the digestive system). This clarified solution is then post filtered through a 0.22 micron filter.

We then bottle our solution in dark amber glass bottles, and quickly package for delivery to you. Our packaging is designed to be extremely robust to prevent breakage, and conforms to international standards for shipping liquids in glass containers. Each shrink-sealed bottle is enclosed in an 8 mil heavy zip-lock bag, and packed along with an applicator in an individual cardboard box, independent of the final packaging used for mailing. We have not experienced a single broken bottle delivery since adopting our current shipping system in 2013.

Because producing Carbon 60 olive oil the right way is extremely expensive and time consuming, there are many companies in the marketplace that put profit over integrity and the health of their customers by cutting corners. This commonly includes using an inferior, industrial grade of Carbon 60 (a lower level of purity containing dangerous contaminates), or simply adding 0.8 or 0.9 grams of Carbon 60 per liter of oil and claiming it all dissolved. Some companies are skipping sterile filtration, using unproven mixing processes (such as sonic mixers), or pulling the oil from mixing as soon as it turns color (about halfway through the required time for full saturation). In the worst case we have seen, some are obfuscating the established science to justify emulsifying their oil into a black goo using suspiciously sourced “Carbon 60” that bears many hallmarks of not being what it claims. This not only undercuts the very foundation of Carbon 60 research, advancing the Baati study, it also exposes people to a completely unresearched substance that is potentially hazardous. Black oil can only result from inferior ingredients or an inferior process, and should not be consumed.

We are the only company proven by third party testing to consistently provide a fully saturated, 0.8 mg per ml Carbon 60 olive oil solution. Don’t settle for the slightly less expensive, vastly inferior products available. Insist on fully saturated Carbon 60 olive oil solution from the only company that has been doing it right from the beginning!
