What is the difference between C60 and other antioxidants?

The key difference is that C60 can reset itself after neutralizing free radicals, while conventional antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and glutathione are consumed after a single reaction. This means one C60 molecule can do the work of hundreds of conventional antioxidant molecules.

Additionally, C60’s unique spherical cage structure — 60 carbon atoms in a hollow ball — allows it to interact with multiple free radicals simultaneously, a mechanism not available to flat or chain-shaped antioxidant molecules.
