You bought your first bottle of C60 — or you’re thinking about it — and now you want to know: how do I actually take this stuff?
Fair question. C60 is unlike any other supplement on the shelf. It’s not a pill, it’s not a powder, and it’s not a gummy. It’s a deep purple-red solution of ESS60 Carbon 60 molecules dissolved in organic extra virgin olive oil.
The good news? Taking it is simple. This guide walks you through everything — the different methods, how much to take, when to take it, what to expect, and the tips that make the biggest difference when you’re just starting out.
What You’re Actually Taking
Before we get into the how, a quick note on the what.
C60 Evo products contain ESS60 — the only form of Carbon 60 developed specifically for human consumption. Most C60 on the market is industrial grade, manufactured for electronics and materials science. ESS60 goes through additional purification steps to meet the standard required for biological use. It’s the exact form used in the landmark 2012 Paris study that extended rat lifespan by up to 90%.
C60 Evo has been manufacturing C60 since 1991 — first for research institutions and universities, now for everyday people who want that same research-grade quality. Every bottle is organic, vegan, non-GMO, and made in the USA.
The carrier is organic extra virgin olive oil, chosen because it was used in the original research and provides its own well-documented health benefits. The C60 molecules are dissolved into the oil, creating a solution you take by the spoonful.
Now let’s talk about how to take it.
Method 1: Straight Off the Spoon
This is the simplest and most popular method.
Pour one tablespoon of C60 Evo onto a spoon and take it like you would any liquid supplement. The taste is mild — mostly olive oil with a very slight nutty note. Most people don’t find the flavor unpleasant at all.
Pro tip: If you’re not a fan of straight olive oil, follow it with a sip of juice or water.
This method is fast, no-mess, and works well if you want to build a quick daily habit. Many customers add it to their morning routine right alongside their coffee or vitamins.
Method 2: In a Smoothie
If you’d rather not taste the olive oil at all, add your daily tablespoon to a smoothie or shake. The other ingredients mask the flavor completely, and the C60 blends right in.
Some easy pairings: – Berry smoothie with banana, almond milk, and a tablespoon of C60 Evo – Green smoothie with spinach, pineapple, and coconut water – Protein shake with your preferred powder, milk, and C60 Evo mixed in
The key is to blend it — don’t just stir. Blending ensures the C60 is evenly distributed throughout your drink.
Method 3: On Food
C60 Evo’s olive oil base makes it a natural fit for drizzling on food. Treat it like a finishing oil:
- Drizzle on salads, pasta, or grain bowls
- Add to avocado toast or bruschetta
- Mix into a salad dressing or dip
- Stir into soup after it’s been served (not while cooking — see storage tips below)
This is a great option if you already use olive oil in your meals. You’re simply swapping in your daily serving of C60 Evo.
Important: Avoid heating C60 Evo. High temperatures can degrade the ESS60 molecules. Add it to food after cooking, not during.
Method 4: For Pets
Many C60 Evo customers give it to their dogs, cats, and horses. Pet owners frequently report improvements in their animals’ energy, mobility, and coat quality.
For pets, the serving size is adjusted by body weight:
- Small pets (under 20 lbs): A few drops daily, mixed into food
- Medium pets (20–60 lbs): 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon daily
- Large pets (60+ lbs): 1/2 to 1 teaspoon daily
Mix the C60 Evo directly into your pet’s food — most animals take to it easily since the olive oil base is palatable. If your pet is a picky eater, try mixing it with a small amount of a favorite treat first.
Always consult your veterinarian before introducing any new supplement to your pet’s routine.

C60 Dosage: How Much Should You Take?
The standard daily serving of C60 Evo is one tablespoon (approximately 15 mL) for adults. This is the amount most people take, and it aligns with the concentrations used in published research.
For beginners: Some people prefer to start with a smaller amount — say half a tablespoon — and work up to the full serving over the first week. This isn’t because of safety concerns (ESS60 has been used for over 30 years with no reported toxicity), but simply because it can be helpful to introduce any new supplement gradually and see how your body responds.
Consistency matters more than amount. Taking one tablespoon daily is more effective than taking two tablespoons one day and skipping the next. Build the habit, keep it steady, and let the compound benefits build over time.
When to Take C60
The short answer: whenever works best for you.
There’s no strict rule about timing. C60 Evo can be taken with or without food, in the morning or evening. The most important factor is choosing a time you can stick with consistently.
That said, most C60 Evo customers take it in the morning for a few practical reasons:
- It’s easy to pair with breakfast or your morning supplement routine
- Some people report that it supports their energy levels throughout the day, so morning makes intuitive sense
- Starting your day with it makes it less likely you’ll forget
If mornings are hectic, taking it with lunch or dinner works perfectly fine. The C60 molecules go to work regardless of the hour.
What to Expect: A Realistic Timeline
Everyone’s body is different, so experiences vary. Here’s a general sense of what many C60 Evo customers report:
Week 1
Some people notice a subtle boost in energy or mental clarity within the first few days. Others don’t feel anything noticeable yet — and that’s normal. The ESS60 is working at the cellular level whether you feel it immediately or not.
Weeks 2–3
This is where many people start to notice changes. Commonly reported experiences include sustained energy through the afternoon, a feeling of “smoother” recovery after exercise, and more restful sleep.
Month 1–2
With consistent daily use, the cumulative antioxidant support becomes more apparent. Many long-term users report improvements in joint comfort, skin quality, and overall vitality.
Month 3+
C60 is not a quick fix — it’s a long-game supplement. The people who benefit most are the ones who make it part of their daily routine and give it time to work. Many of our most enthusiastic customers have been taking C60 Evo for years.
Key reminder: C60 Evo supports your body’s natural processes. It promotes healthy cellular function and helps maintain your body’s defenses against oxidative stress. Individual results will vary.
Tips for Beginners
Here are the things we wish every new customer knew from Day 1:
-
Start consistent, not aggressive. One tablespoon per day. Every day. That’s the formula.
-
Pick a time and stick with it. Morning coffee? Post-workout smoothie? Dinner salad? It doesn’t matter which — just make it the same time each day.
-
Don’t heat it. ESS60 is sensitive to high heat. Never cook with C60 Evo or add it to boiling liquids.
-
Shake gently before use. The ESS60 molecules are evenly distributed in the oil, but a gentle shake before each pour ensures consistency.
-
Be patient. Some supplements hit you over the head with an effect. C60 works at the cellular level. Give it at least 30 days of consistent use before evaluating.
-
Track how you feel. Consider jotting down a few notes in your phone during the first month — energy levels, sleep quality, joint comfort, mental clarity. It’s easier to notice gradual changes when you have a reference point.
-
Subscribe and save. Running out breaks the habit. A C60 Evo subscription saves you up to 15% and ensures your next bottle arrives before the current one runs out.
How to Store C60
Proper storage keeps your C60 Evo at peak quality:
- Keep it in a cool, dark place. A pantry or cabinet works well. Avoid windowsills or areas that get direct sunlight.
- No refrigeration needed. Room temperature is ideal. Refrigeration won’t hurt it, but it’s unnecessary and can make the olive oil thicker and harder to pour.
- Keep the cap sealed tight. Like any olive oil product, limiting air exposure keeps it fresh longer.
- Avoid extreme heat. Don’t leave it in a hot car or next to the stove.
- Use within the expiration date. C60 Evo products have a printed shelf life. For best results, use your bottle within the indicated timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is C60 safe to take every day?
ESS60 has been manufactured and used for over 30 years. The 2012 Biomaterials study specifically tested for toxicity and found none, even at repeated high doses. C60 Evo customers routinely take it daily as part of their long-term wellness routine. As with any supplement, consult your healthcare provider if you have specific medical concerns or take medications.
Can I take C60 with other supplements or medications?
There are no known interactions between ESS60 and common supplements or medications. That said, we always recommend discussing any new supplement with your doctor, especially if you’re on prescription medication or undergoing treatment.
Does C60 have a taste?
Barely. C60 Evo tastes like high-quality olive oil with a very mild, slightly nutty finish. The ESS60 itself is essentially tasteless. If you’re sensitive to the olive oil flavor, blending it into a smoothie eliminates it entirely.
How is C60 Evo different from other C60 brands?
Three things set C60 Evo apart. First, we use ESS60 — the only form of C60 made for human consumption, not industrial-grade Carbon 60. Second, we’ve been manufacturing C60 since 1991 — longer than almost anyone. Third, our products are organic, vegan, non-GMO, and made in the USA. ESS60 is up to 172x stronger as an antioxidant than Vitamin C.
What if I miss a day?
No need to double up. Just take your regular serving the next day and keep going. Consistency over time is what matters — one missed day won’t undo your progress.
