C15:0 (pentadecanoic acid) is a healthy odd-chain saturated fatty acid. Fatty15'sco-founder, Dr. Steph Venn-Watson, discovered that C15:0 is not only a good fat.but that C15:0 meets the rare criteria of being the first essential fatty acid to bediscovered since omega-3, which was over 90 years ago.In extensive peer-reviewed studies, C15:0 has been shown to support metabolic,heart, liver and immune health, as well as naturally activate receptors in our bodiesthat deepen sleep, reduce anxiety, and improve joint comfort.
Essential fatty acids are nutrients that our bodies need to maintain baseline healthbut can't make. That means we must get these essential fats from our diet orsupplements. Today, there are three known essential fatty acids: alpha-linolenicacid (an omega-3), linoleic acid (an omega-6), and now, C15:0. Because C15:0has been shown to have 3x more cellular benefits than omega-3, C15:0 isemerging as the essential, essential fatty acid.*

Our primary food-based source of C15:0 is whole fat cow's milk, which containstrace amounts of C15:0. Dairy fat, however, contains much higher levels of pro-inflammatory even-chain saturated fatty acids (C16:0), as well as a wallop of calories. Food-based C15:0 is also tied up in complex lipids called triacylgly cerides that make C15:0 less bioavailable. We developed fatty15 to help consumers get >99.5% pure C15:0 in a vegan-friendly, science-backed and readily bioavailable form. No cows or calories needed.

Fatty15 (C15:0) is an odd-chain saturated fatty acid, while omega-3s arepolyun saturated fatty acids. While both are beneficial fats that support healthy immune responses, they also have very different roles. For example, fatty15 is asturdy fat that strengthens our cell membranes and protects them against age-driving lipid peroxidation. In contrast, omega-3s are less stable fats that make ourcell membranes fexible but more susceptible to oxidation, especially as we age.The bottom line: Our bodies use both C15:0 and omega-3s to stay healthy, andthey can and should compliment each other. The upsides of fatty15 with pureC15:0? Tiny pills with no smell, no taste, and no burps. Better yet, when testedhead-to-head against pure EPA, fatty15 had 3x more cellular benefits relevant toour immune, metabolic, heart, and liver health. We recommend working with your health care provider to determine what supplement stack is best for you.Learn more about fatty15 compared to omega-3s.

Fatty15 is an award-winning and science-backed C15:0 supplement that supportsyour long-term health, including your liver health, at the cellular level. Numerous studies have shown that both adults and children with higher C15:0 levels havebetter liver health. Beyond association, fatty15 has been shown to directly protectthe liver in relevant models. Specifically, fatty15 is a PPAR-a/8 agonist thatpromotes liver health by improving the resilience of cell membranes, calming immune responses, and slowing the production of unhealthy liver tissue.* Learn more about fatty15 and your liver health byclicking here.

Today, more than 50 peer-reviewed scientific studies have linked C15:0 (aka,pentadecanoic acid) to better metabolic, heart, immune and liver health. Our>99.5% pure, vegan-friendly C15:0 fatty acid in fatty15 rebalances ourmetabolism naturally by 1) activating PPAR-alpha and delta receptors, the masterorchestrators of our metabolism, 2) activating AMPK pathways, which regulate glucose, 3) repairing mitochondria and enabling our cells to generate energy.Heck, that's a bunch of much-needed benefits to help keep our metabolism balanced.*
