Pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) is the first essential fatty acid identified in over 90 years. This odd-chain saturated fat helps strengthen cell membranes against age-related lipid peroxidation, supporting longer healthspan and longevity. In this session, participants will learn how C15:0 was discovered through research on aging Navy dolphins, how it acts as a geroprotector to slow aging, and review peer-reviewed evidence for its metabolic, cognitive, liver, cardiovascular, red blood cell, and gut health benefits.
