As far as I know, there's no reason to believe that C60 would lengthen telomeres. As such, I would recommend waiting a while for the next telomere test. Considering the error bars of the test, I suspect it will take a fair amount of time to see a difference.
Not directly, I'd think. And while it is known that telomere dysfunction can cause mitochondrial dysfunction, I haven't found anything on the reverse. But it seems reasonable to suppose that it might, and conversely, if a cell isn't starved for energy, all its processes would work at a higher level including any process that lengthens telomeres....telomere dysfunction is associated with impaired mitochondrial biogenesis and function, decreased gluconeogenesis, cardiomyopathy, and increased reactive oxygen species...We demonstrate that telomere dysfunction activates p53 which in turn binds and represses PGC-1α and PGC-1β promoters, thereby forging a direct link between telomere and mitochondrial biology. We propose that this telomere–p53–PGC axis contributes to organ and metabolic failure and to diminishing organismal fitness in the setting of telomere dysfunction.

If it lengthens' lifespan, then it seems reasonable to assume that it must lengthen telomeres as there's a direct corelation between telomere length and lifespan. As well, there's TA-65 and its competitor TSX that lengthen telomeres. I chose to experiment with C60 rather than them, but they were considered.
We shall see when I get my second telomere test, and you're right. I'll wait at least six months.
I also expect to also see changes in my blood tests. But I'm not sure what. I have chronically slightly low white blood cells and my glucose and hemoglobi n A1c have been trendiing at the high end of normal recently. And there are other measurements I'll be testing.
Does anyone have suggestions for blood tests that might tell us something specific about C60's effects?
