An anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative nutraceutical composition containing C60 fullerene, a COX-2 inhibitor, and a medium chain triglyceride. The combined use of C60 and COX-2 inhibitor has unexpected benefits in promoting health, including synergistic effects in fighting cancer, slowing aging, and in some cases, reversing aging. Advantageously, Nigella sativa (“black seed”) oil is used to provide both medium chain triglycerides and COX-2 inhibitors.
