Energy without caffeine: two ads, checked
No study of either product in people.
Two ads sell steady energy without stimulants: C60 Power’s carbon-60 gummies, and Faura’s Foundation, a chicken-and-turkey peptide broth with 12 herbs. Short answer: we found no study of either for energy. C60’s reputation comes from a 2012 study of rats living longer; a larger 2021 test in mice found no such effect.
