In this episode of Peak Human Labs, Dr. Sanjeev Goel speaks with Chris Burres, scientist, entrepreneur, and co-founder of MyVitalC, to explore a breakthrough molecule known as ESS60. Originally used in industrial applications, ESS60 has now caught the attention of the longevity and wellness community after a study revealed that it could extend the lifespan of rats by up to 90%.

Chris discusses the science behind ESS60, how it works at the mitochondrial level, and why it could be the most powerful antioxidant ever discovered. He also introduces the "BOSS" theory Buffering Oxidative Stress System which helps explain the molecule’s wide-ranging benefits, including better sleep, reduced inflammation, and enhanced focus.
