Use real cream in your coffee and real butter on your veggies and you're getting more than the postulated 100mg/day.

C15:0 (Pentadecanoic Acid) in Ghee Pentadecanoic acid is a lesser-known but significant saturated fatty acid found in dairy products, including ghee. It has gained attention due to potential health benefits. Typical Content in Ghee: The content of pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) in ghee can vary, but it is generally around 1-1.5% of the total fat content. This can vary depending on the source of the milk and the specific processing methods used. Value of C15:0 in Ghee Pentadecanoic acid has been studied for its potential health benefits, which include: Anti-inflammatory Properties: Studies have suggested that C15:0 may help reduce inflammation in the body. Metabolic Health: There is some evidence to suggest that pentadecanoic acid can support metabolic health and may be associated with a lower risk of metabolic syndrome. Cardiovascular Health: Some research indicates that C15:0 might have a protective effect on heart health, potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. (GPT 4o)
@@jaym9846 As far as I know (and practice), ghee is made at 100 C (212 F). In fact, every recipe I've known of, says not to go beyond 110 C (230 F). I don't know where you did get you number from (325 F -> 163 C). Too high. Making ghee from butter must be a slow process. Most of the protein and solids should go to the bottom in a slow process. Part will just float. If you burn it at 163 C, it changes its organoleptic properties and will never decant properly.
Remember that it was mentioned that you can get c-15 from multiple sources but that they also come with even chain fats that may (or may not) obstruct the benefits of c-15 when taken in isolation. I'll still eat lots of butter, but i will also try the pure form and see what my blood markers have to say about it.
Excellent analysis, thank you. I just came across another video about it and I wanted to do an in depth look at these other papers. You did that research for me, so thanks again!
Is fatty15 the only company that produces this? $40-$45 per month depending if you elect for the subscription. $30-$35 maybe, But $40-$45 a month equals nearly $500 a year. From my understanding they take c14 from plants (abundant source) and add one carbon? (Whatever it is I don’t know!) the point is, it seems a little overpriced for what it is. I want to take it, but sheesh, that’s quite a financial investment on the consumer’s part…
The presenter made no case for supplementation aside from dietary sources perhaps elevating less desirable FAs. The real issue is if getting the optimum amount comes at a cost of ingesting deleterious amounts of others. My guess is is in the context of a balanced diet, likely not.
I tried to buy C15 . No matter what options I picked it subscribe you for automatic refills even when I picked the 1 month trial. There has to be something else in our body function that is inhibiting the natural production of C15. This cannot be the only method to get C15🤔🤔
Regarding the amount of C15 in dairy foods, it can vary quite a bit depending on the altitude of where the cows or goats were grazing. The higher the altitude, the higher the C15.
Very nice deep dive. Stearic acid (C18:0) is kind of magical, also, and has dropped dramatically in Western diets due to the general fear of fats. Since it didn't fall in consumption simultaneously in the same way across all cultures (France, for instance, continued having stearic acid as part of their diets well after the United States had all but eliminated it), however, there's interesting evidence out there that suggests that the correlation of the fall in stearic acid consumption with the increase in cardiovascular and other problems is not merely coincidental.
Hi Scott, thanks for sharing. Interesting, based on the reading I did I would have thought that an even chained fat would have a negative impact on health - though there did not seem to be a mechanistic explanation for this. I do think eliminating nearly all fats is not a good idea. I did see that Dr Venn-Watson also highlighted the correlation of lower dairy fat and increased CVD as being possibly related to lower C15. There have been many changes in the diet over the last 40 years so difficult to pull it apart after the fact!
Many changes of diet yes, but only latterly has animal fat been redeemed and reinstated as the essential component of human health it has always been. We were blinded.@@ModernHealthspan
If one tablespoon of butter makes the recommendation then there are millions of people around the world that are getting this amount of c15. Dr Venn-Watson in one of her presentations on the internet mentioned that she had started menopause (with all problems) and doubled her dose with good results. This leads me to wonder if this is one of those molecules that gets less and less as we age. Anyway an incredible analysis and review Richard...
Nobody absorbs 100% of anything they eat. The correct percentage changes on each substance. In the primary researcher’s interview with Thomas Delauer, she says C15 competes for absorption.
Unless you're a vegan or otherwise don't eat dairy, it would seem relatively easy to get more than the recommended amount through food with small amount Dairy fat.
Oleic acid is labelled omega 9 then EPA 20:5 alpha 5, 8, 11,14, 17. The alpha system is used by chemists but the omega nomenclature is better for biologists. I’d suggest EPA 20:5 omega 3, 6, 9, 12 & 15. It is all correct but not consistent using omega then alpha nomenclature.
The usual dose of C15 is 100 mg a day. A 1/8th pad of butter contains 100 mg of C15. C15 is very expensive in capsule form. But buy bars of butter instead. 1/8th pad of butter is dirt cheap.
You could also use Ghee. It is more shelf stable than butter because most Ghee products don't require refrigeration. I bought a whole big tin of Ghee from Holland. Found it in a European grocery store. Cost $39.00, but it will last me a while. I would rather use the money folks would spend a month on a C15 subscription on that. It would last me a year or more before I buy another one because I don't cook with Ghee or use Ghee often, and I still have my traditional butter left in the fridge.
@@OsAbliNgin911 Wow. How yellow is it? I like ghee for cooking things in. I love butter on everything though, I mean everything. Recently I have been eating beef fat though and am really loving it.
I tried taking C15 (aka commercially as "Fatty 15") for a couple of weeks. I had negative neurological symptoms that started, including tingling and numbness in extremities and a psychological sense of unreality and a generalized feeling of being way off. It was frightening. I'm not going to try taking it again,
Hi Thanks for sharing. Can I ask did you reach out to the vendor? Also, do you eat dairy products? If you do, you would probably have similar levels of C15 in the blood.
@@ModernHealthspan I did not contact the company yet. It's the company founded by Venn-Watson, the scientist who did the dolphin studies. I did some subsequent research on C15:0. It is actually one of the fatty acids that is HIGHER in people with MS, a neurological condition. There is actually good research on this. So, the idea that C15:0 is some sort of panacea is not completely accurate--- there are diseases associated with higher levels of C15:0. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to help people with MS, which is also interesting. Omega-3 fatty acids make cell walls more flexible, C15:0 makes them more stiff. (BTW, I DO eat butter, a lot of it.)

You all need to read the facts of this pill properly... the C15 you get from fatty 15 is only the good fat(only 1 calorie) whereas the dairy option is full of saturated fat which is not good for you. On top of this, Fatty 15 is easy to absorb where how we get it from food takes so much work, coming with risk of diabetes 2 and heart disease....
@@rachaelrobinson2185 Absurd. After water, in a healthy body, the second most abundant molecule is Saturated Fat. A healthy heart is surrounded by a large blob of yellow rich saturated fat. The kidneys are also surrounded by a rich layer of saturated fat. The Cell Membranes are mostly saturated fat and cholesterol. The brain is more than 65% saturated fat and cholesterol. Hormones are manufactured on the backbone of a cholesterol foundation. You believe things that are not true and these companies are laughing all the way to the bank. I will save my money for more important purchases, like grass fed butter I put on everything that passes my lips.
If your total daily fat content is high, you will not have high levels of C15 due to type of microbiota in the gut. It’s the gut bacteria that synthesize the C15. A few studies show this. One test compared 5% dietary fat with 35% dietary fat and 70% dietary fat (plus they use different types of fat). Result: “the concentration of C15:0 decreases as the dietary total-fat content increases (p < 0.05); a ~30% increase in dietary total-fat resulted in a ~35% decrease in circulating C15:0 concentration.” It didn’t matter what type of fat used. As the total daily fat content rises - the less C15 synthesized. We need the correct gut bacteria to break it down, where it is then usable. Total fat intake (when high) disrupts the individual fatty acids. By using cheese to get your C15, you end up with less if you’re eating high fat throughout the rest of the day (from other foods). That’s why a low fat plant-based diet is the best (with very small amounts of cheese, meat and eggs) and animal based foods can be used as ‘condiments’.
"To summarise, circulating C15:0 and C17:0 are independently derived; C15:0 correlates directly with dietary intake, while C17:0 is substantially biosynthesized, therefore, they are not homologous in the aetiology of metabolic disease. Our findings emphasize the importance of the biosynthesis of C17:0 and recognizing its link with metabolic disease."
"[...] there have been considerable differences in disease risk between C15:0 and C17:0, with C17:0 having the strongest inverse association, indicating different affects/effects."
Hey, I'm a vegan and I'm using High Oleic Sunflower Oil as my C15:0 source. Dr Venn-Watson has completely shifted the dialog to be around dairy products, but there's actually a decent plant source available. I noticed an increase in my NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogensis, in other words fidgeting) after I started on High Oleic Sunflower Oil.
Butter is cheaper, tastes awesome, and is in harmony with the order of nature. Imagine what that poor little seed had to go through to have its pentadecanoic acid extracted from it in isolation. What kinds of chemicals were used to extract it. How much heat was used? Cleaners and colorants? Butter is truly sunshine and comes with so much more than just one little ole molecule.
The even number chain length saturated fatty acids in dairy are believed to be bad for your health. Mackerel has some C15 as well, and probably other fatty seafood as well but not measured.
@@starraider25 I am thinking you can avoid the potential issue with dairy by buying grass fed, unpasteurized, and raw dairy if you can. Most of the dairy in the USA come from A1 cows instead of A2 cows. A2 cows is better for the digestive system. It is funny because when I grew up in the UK I never had an issue with milk or diary products. Europeans consume a lot more dairy than Americans as Thomas DeLauer discovered when he traveled to Europe. They had a whole grocery section dedicated to dairy. There seems to be an emphasis to get most of your protein from dairy in Europe. No wonder it seems like the average European today is healthier than the average American, which did not used to be that way.

thanks very much for this excellent thorough analysis - I heard C15 mentioned by one of Dr Gundry's films but hadn’t found very much information on it before this. So to cut to the chase, the take-home seems to be eat plenty of A2 grassfed organic dairy - esp. butter & ghee, as well as oily fish, if you don’t want to spend precious cash on supplementing unnecessarily. Is that correct?
@@rickduker4969 yea and everyone is talking about one study on C15. Maybe something is going on that is affecting our bodies ability to uptake C15? Lots of possibilities.
@@rickduker4969 does pasteurization kill or break apart C15?? Hopefully we'll know soon. It won't be shocking if they are destroying the most important part of milk and only leaving the bad stuff. This would explain why selling raw milk is illegal.
FWIW, for many months now I've been consuming a powerful yogurt cultured with a well-studied strain of the species L. reuteri, based on the instructions provided by Dr. William Davis. I continue consuming this yogurt for its several observed benefits. I prepare this yogurt using half and half (with high dairy fat content, of course). I'm wondering now whether this yogurt also contains a beneficial amount of C15.
Hi David, thanks for sharing. Yogurt is a source of C15 if it is in the original milk, per the comments from Dr Venn-Watson about different sources having different quantities. BTW, I take a probiotic with L. reuteri for bone health.
@ModernHealthspan One of the several touted effects L. reuteri yogurt, indeed, is improving bone health. Per Dr. Davis's instructions I use pasture-raised half and half, so, per this and other videos on C15, it's likely to have more C15. I use organic, too. FWIW, even before I started hearing about C15, I was considering adding in whipping cream. Now that I know about C15 I'm more likely to make my next batch with some whipping cream.
Before you conclude that it is a scam you might want to consider factors. Do you have any MTHFR issues for example? Did you have any other changes, like an injury? I'm not promoting the product, but to conclude that this was the cause after one 3 month period is not definitive. If it were me, I would check my levels again after 3 months away and see if it goes back down. Then try it again for a 2nd round of 3 months to see if it went back up again. One time is never enough to prove cause-effect.
@@ronrothrock7116 I don’t have mthfr genes. But even if I did so what. I would have had it before taking the product and after. And no injuries either. Funny how if my CRP had gone down you would have attributed it to C15. Read some of their testimonies, other report no changes in blood markers after a year. No noticeable improvement in their conditions . The proof is in the bloodwork. This company hasn’t conducted one human trial. It’s all based on studies with dolphins. Dolphins aren’t humans.
Hi thanks for your question. I don't have an answer for that, but looking at this table (wholefoodcatalog.info/nutrient/pentadecanoic_acid/foods/high/) it seems that fermenting does not seem to reduce the level by much. It is an interesting question as to how it gets into the milk. Whether the cows make it or get it from their diet.
If you can get c15 from cheese, then fermenting should be fine. In the Netherlands, a woman was trying to sell us tourists some cheese and attributed her young looks to eating cheese. I took it with a grain of salt but she may be right!
@@marnold2791 The ratio of C:15 to other saturated fats is 1 to 100 in dairy products, so it is not obvious that eating them is worth it. She said in another video that grain fed cows have lower C:15 so it might be better to chose organic dairies. I'd be curious to know how animals like cows make C:15 and if we could emulate that one way or another in a way that doesn't create other saturated fats at the same time.
Hi thanks for the question. As the slide with the availability in foods shows, it is certainly possible to get the required amount from food sources. You could consider pure C15 as being more healthy as it does not contain the even chained fatty acids that come with butter and cheese.
My uncestors Semi Nomads from Central Asia. Big part of food was raw milk, kefir, yogurt (Horse milk fermented milk prodict kumis) Raw Camel milk other products. Unfortunately nowdays factories pasterise products. 😢 following international standarts and banned the most important ancestor food traditions
If the US Navy (US taxpayer) paid for the add'l C 15 research...then is this natural nutrient patentable and for exclusive manufacture? hmm, sounds a bit hoaky. Maybe a patent from other companies of other nations who didn't pay for the particular research and method of synthesizing but, exclusivity from the people of the gvmnt who paid for it? I could envison a few years of granted exclusivity if the process is so involved/esoteric but other than that...stinks.
I developed athersclerosis eating butter, cheese and milk. Eating dairy comes with a lot if bad fats! I'll stick with fatty15. I take 2 per day and feel fantastic and now sleep great. I'm in my 70s.
Ha, all the foods we eat since we embarked on the proper human diet, labeled the Carnivore diet but really it's a way of eating rather than a 'diet'. Loads of info on YT, but Dr Ken Berry is a good starting point.
Is anyone going to point out that diary has both odd and even-numbered fatty acid chains? So drinking milk would both slow down your aging and speed it up?? I
Natures order is pressure mediated harmony, similar to a teeter totter which can persist indefinitely with out much energy. Interestingly, while playing at the childrens playground I tried to force the teeter totter to stay balanced and it was excruciatingly frustratingly exhausting and unsustainable where as harmoniously putting inputs of energy up and down up down was fun, sustainable and persistent with out a lot of energy.
To get C15 Fatty acid, Coconut has C14 Fatty ackd n is it possible to add 1 carbon fatty acid to it to make C15 through bio technology? Request u to reply sir
Hi thanks for the question. I am not an expert in bio technology, I do not know the answer to this. My only thought is it does not seem to be simple otherwise I guess they would have used that method.
What is 'cattle' as a food source. Who eats cattle? The bovine has dozens of different meat cuts with different fat gradients. Which cuts, which fats contain the C:15? Grass fed versus grain fed? Many of us, myself included, are dairy intolerant. We need to know where the C:15 sources are that are non-dairy. You say even chain saturated fatty acids have negative effects versus odd chain fatty acids. What is the profile of the fat sources? Dairy, Cheese, 'Cattle'?
Mackerel has around 80 - 100 mg per 100 grams, which probably varies with their total fat content which may vary with seasons. I suspect other fatty seafood have some too even though only even number C-chain fatty acids are reported in their nutrition tables.
Ghee has no dairy proteins or sugars and lots of c:15. beef fat in general is a rich source after ghee. All confirmable with a quick online reference search.
I will just continue to eat my butter, on everything, first and foremost because butter makes Everything Taste Better, and its good for you. Mmm Mmm. Health never tasted so good. Thank you.
The study may have been a game changer in terms of understanding but it changes nothing for me. I've been getting enough of this stuff [and not too much] almost every day of my life. I am in my sixties. Would I be a mess now, had I been without it? Maybe.
The trouble with getting C15:0 from food is that it is tied up in complex lipids called triacylglycerides, which our bodies cannot absorb. For this reason C15:0 absorption from only food has not been studied in depth on humans. What we do know is this- natural C15:0 levels started decreasing when the "Low Fat" movement happened in the 80's and 90's. That said, C15:0 is found in some foods. This means that we all have some baseline level of C15:0. What fatty15 is expected to do is to raise this level to achieve the desired circulating C15:0 concentrations of 10 to 20 uM needed to attain key benefits.
U can test your levels of C15.0 at Genova Diagnostics online for around two hundred dollars, then u will know if y need to eat more dairy or supplement 😊
Why do you think our bodies can't absorb triacylglycerides? Of course they can. Triacylglycerides are fat. Regular animal or vegetable fats and oils. They are a normal part of our diet. We absorb them just fine.
This is one of the many problems of a plant-based diet, particulary a plant-exclusive diet. When such diets are studied, they are almost always compared against a standard American diet (SAD). Ironically, SAD is described as animal-based, even though it's 70% plant foods. What never gets included in such studies is a diet that is 70-100% animal foods, especially not one that is whole foods, nose-to-tail, organic, and pasture-raised. Or rather such research is typically only found in Asia where higher meat intake is correlated to better health and longer longevity.
@@MarmaladeINFP Well, there are several people that live past 100 on exclusive plant based diets, so at least certain people can thrive on them Now are these people genetic longevity freaks that would live long on any diet, maybe, maybe not.
Hi Jack, thanks for your comment. I would think that that is correct. The downside is that you get the other saturated fats too, but if you are eating full fat dairy then you have already decided that you are OK with this. As well as vegans, you could see if people are lactose intolerant it would be helpful.
Sure but why? you have to spin it with a whizzer to mix it, otherwise the butter sits on top. I prefer heavy cream with my coffee, just like butter but mixes in liquids better.
Hi thanks for the question. C15 raises the levels of PDC (pentadecanoylcarnitine) which can have a positive impact on mood. One study did show inverse correlation with risk of Alzheimer's of C15 in the blood.
Hi thanks for your question, however, I am not clear as to your meaning. The video is not about a supplement but about C15, the fatty acid and the benefits that it has. Stearic acid does not seem to have the negative effects of the other even chained saturated fats and it is available in common food sources. I am not sure if it would be a substitute or not.
@@ModernHealthspan It is cheap even if you ate it as a cosmetic grade powder supplement melted into food, it has mitochondrial fusion effects and it is the slowest to reach fat cells and it directly fights visceral fat and ectopic organ fat (palmitic acid has some of these benefits but not all of them). the main benefit of MCT fats would be driving BCAA catabolism.
The highest natural source of Fatty Acid C15:0 can be found in Cheddar Cheese of all things, but they would rather you buy their patented supplement for $100 for 30 day supply.
Few questions; perhaps you can shed some light. 1. Angiogenic factors ? Obviously C15 is proving to be a mTor inhibitor, my curiousity revolves around the notion of its angiogenic factors as well? If we have mild mTor inhibition, then we can repair, and develop new striated tissue, however, does C15 also carry with it factors promoting/enhancing angiogenisis? If so, that would be astounding news, as not only are we able to develop new striated/visceral tissue, possibly revitalizing lagging tissue development, C15 could find itself as an essential post myocardial incident. 2. Many western diets are not organic, and contain many pesticides and psuedohormones; What is the research state in the efficacy of C15 in organic diets, and gmo diets? My thought would be that C15 could have some benefit in detoxification due to mitochondrial activity elevations, which is promising for weight-loss, and overall cellular life. I will stop here with this line of question, hoping for some feedback. 3. Last question revolves around bio-availability? Do we have any data to show food associations that increase bio-availability with C15? In example, we see that the curcuminoids of Turmeric, are enhanced when coupled with Omega-3 fatty acid, as well as increases in cell life post-digestion. What, if any does the research state, concerning bio-availability, and cell life of supplementation with C-15? Your responses are truly appreciated. I found this video only 6 hrs ago, and there are many others, but your posting includes data, and findings, from empirical research, so top notch work Sir, appreciated, and again thank you for any feedback you can give me. Definitely [based on findings] that there is a strong consideration for adding this long chain f/a to the essential list, yet that may become the primary research the fda does not.

Use real cream in your coffee and real butter on your veggies and you're getting more than the postulated 100mg/day.

@@ernestheau9146 can you cook with it or will that destroy it
A healthy source for C15 is Ghee. It is a high smoke point fat extracted from cows milk which is used in Indian cooking and for many other purposes.
To make ghee, butter is heated to high temperatures (+325 F) for some time. Is ghee still healthy?
@@jaym9846 Ghee's smoke point is 485 F which should be high enough to maintain its healthy attributes. Ghee is used in a lot of high heat Indian cooking but I have never heard of any deterioration concerns.
Far less expensive than the supplement as well.
C15:0 (Pentadecanoic Acid) in Ghee
Pentadecanoic acid is a lesser-known but significant saturated fatty acid found in dairy products, including ghee. It has gained attention due to potential health benefits.
Typical Content in Ghee: The content of pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) in ghee can vary, but it is generally around 1-1.5% of the total fat content. This can vary depending on the source of the milk and the specific processing methods used.
Value of C15:0 in Ghee
Pentadecanoic acid has been studied for its potential health benefits, which include:
Anti-inflammatory Properties: Studies have suggested that C15:0 may help reduce inflammation in the body.
Metabolic Health: There is some evidence to suggest that pentadecanoic acid can support metabolic health and may be associated with a lower risk of metabolic syndrome.
Cardiovascular Health: Some research indicates that C15:0 might have a protective effect on heart health, potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. (GPT 4o)
@@jaym9846 As far as I know (and practice), ghee is made at 100 C (212 F). In fact, every recipe I've known of, says not to go beyond 110 C (230 F). I don't know where you did get you number from (325 F -> 163 C). Too high.
Making ghee from butter must be a slow process. Most of the protein and solids should go to the bottom in a slow process. Part will just float. If you burn it at 163 C, it changes its organoleptic properties and will never decant properly.
I’ve been taking C15 for over a year and I see the difference in my skin, my hair and nails…
I'm a month in and I won't be stopping this one.

Remember that it was mentioned that you can get c-15 from multiple sources but that they also come with even chain fats that may (or may not) obstruct the benefits of c-15 when taken in isolation. I'll still eat lots of butter, but i will also try the pure form and see what my blood markers have to say about it.
Let us know how it turns out. I for one am interested.
Excellent analysis, thank you. I just came across another video about it and I wanted to do an in depth look at these other papers. You did that research for me, so thanks again!

Is fatty15 the only company that produces this? $40-$45 per month depending if you elect for the subscription. $30-$35 maybe, But $40-$45 a month equals nearly $500 a year. From my understanding they take c14 from plants (abundant source) and add one carbon? (Whatever it is I don’t know!) the point is, it seems a little overpriced for what it is. I want to take it, but sheesh, that’s quite a financial investment on the consumer’s part…

The presenter made no case for supplementation aside from dietary sources perhaps elevating less desirable FAs. The real issue is if getting the optimum amount comes at a cost of ingesting deleterious amounts of others. My guess is is in the context of a balanced diet, likely not.
I tried to buy C15 . No matter what options I picked it subscribe you for automatic refills even when I picked the 1 month trial. There has to be something else in our body function that is inhibiting the natural production of C15. This cannot be the only method to get C15🤔🤔
They have a lot of staff and advisors who need to be paid hence the high cost
Just eat grass fed butter on some things when you can. Its probably the Dairy industry that funded this study anyway. Who knows.
Regarding the amount of C15 in dairy foods, it can vary quite a bit depending on the altitude of where the cows or goats were grazing. The higher the altitude, the higher the C15.
Very nice deep dive. Stearic acid (C18:0) is kind of magical, also, and has dropped dramatically in Western diets due to the general fear of fats. Since it didn't fall in consumption simultaneously in the same way across all cultures (France, for instance, continued having stearic acid as part of their diets well after the United States had all but eliminated it), however, there's interesting evidence out there that suggests that the correlation of the fall in stearic acid consumption with the increase in cardiovascular and other problems is not merely coincidental.
Hi Scott, thanks for sharing. Interesting, based on the reading I did I would have thought that an even chained fat would have a negative impact on health - though there did not seem to be a mechanistic explanation for this. I do think eliminating nearly all fats is not a good idea. I did see that Dr Venn-Watson also highlighted the correlation of lower dairy fat and increased CVD as being possibly related to lower C15. There have been many changes in the diet over the last 40 years so difficult to pull it apart after the fact!
Odd number fats like c15 are better than even number fats like c18.
There's one animal study that showed stearic acid as the only fat that greatly reduces visceral fat
Many changes of diet yes, but only latterly has animal fat been redeemed and reinstated as the essential component of human health it has always been. We were blinded.@@ModernHealthspan
You look young Richard, thank you for this presentation.
Hi Ben, thanks! I hope that you found the video helpful.
Thank you for making this video. Richard, Comprehensive and brilliant presentation. Much appreciated.
If one tablespoon of butter makes the recommendation then there are millions of people around the world that are getting this amount of c15. Dr Venn-Watson in one of her presentations on the internet mentioned that she had started menopause (with all problems) and doubled her dose with good results. This leads me to wonder if this is one of those molecules that gets less and less as we age. Anyway an incredible analysis and review Richard...
There are also many people around the world who have no dairy products or fish in their standard diets. Are they inherently deficient in C15:0?
Nobody absorbs 100% of anything they eat. The correct percentage changes on each substance. In the primary researcher’s interview with Thomas Delauer, she says C15 competes for absorption.
Unless you're a vegan or otherwise don't eat dairy, it would seem relatively easy to get more than the recommended amount through food with small amount Dairy fat.
@@eman1989z 100mg of c15. Supposedly 1 ounce of cheese contains that amount.
@@eman1989z apparently you need 100 mg.
100 grams butter= 830 mg of C15

You get all the bad "even chained" saturated fats in dairy.. They cause heart disease..
~18 mg Pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) in 1 kg of Chinese Yam.
C16 comes along with the dairy. C16 is pro-inflammatory.
Oleic acid is labelled omega 9 then EPA 20:5 alpha 5, 8, 11,14, 17. The alpha system is used by chemists but the omega nomenclature is better for biologists. I’d suggest EPA 20:5 omega 3, 6, 9, 12 & 15. It is all correct but not consistent using omega then alpha nomenclature.
The usual dose of C15 is 100 mg a day. A 1/8th pad of butter contains 100 mg of C15. C15 is very expensive in capsule form. But buy bars of butter instead. 1/8th pad of butter is dirt cheap.
You could also use Ghee. It is more shelf stable than butter because most Ghee products don't require refrigeration. I bought a whole big tin of Ghee from Holland. Found it in a European grocery store. Cost $39.00, but it will last me a while. I would rather use the money folks would spend a month on a C15 subscription on that. It would last me a year or more before I buy another one because I don't cook with Ghee or use Ghee often, and I still have my traditional butter left in the fridge.
@@OsAbliNgin911 Wow. How yellow is it? I like ghee for cooking things in. I love butter on everything though, I mean everything. Recently I have been eating beef fat though and am really loving it.

Hi Thanks for sharing. Can I ask did you reach out to the vendor? Also, do you eat dairy products? If you do, you would probably have similar levels of C15 in the blood.
@@ModernHealthspan I did not contact the company yet. It's the company founded by Venn-Watson, the scientist who did the dolphin studies. I did some subsequent research on C15:0. It is actually one of the fatty acids that is HIGHER in people with MS, a neurological condition. There is actually good research on this. So, the idea that C15:0 is some sort of panacea is not completely accurate--- there are diseases associated with higher levels of C15:0. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to help people with MS, which is also interesting. Omega-3 fatty acids make cell walls more flexible, C15:0 makes them more stiff.

That table near the end showed 830mg C15 in 100g of salted butter. With a dose of 100mg C15/day, that's more than 8 days of supply.
If your total daily fat content is high, you will not have high levels of C15 due to type of microbiota in the gut. It’s the gut bacteria that synthesize the C15. A few studies show this. One test compared 5% dietary fat with 35% dietary fat and 70% dietary fat (plus they use different types of fat).
Result: “the concentration of C15:0 decreases as the dietary total-fat content increases (p < 0.05); a ~30% increase in dietary total-fat resulted in a ~35% decrease in circulating C15:0 concentration.”
It didn’t matter what type of fat used. As the total daily fat content rises - the less C15 synthesized. We need the correct gut bacteria to break it down, where it is then usable.
Total fat intake (when high) disrupts the individual fatty acids.
By using cheese to get your C15, you end up with less if you’re eating high fat throughout the rest of the day (from other foods).
That’s why a low fat plant-based diet is the best (with very small amounts of cheese, meat and eggs) and animal based foods can be used as ‘condiments’.

I noticed an increase in my NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogensis, in other words fidgeting) after I started on High Oleic Sunflower Oil.
Butter is cheaper, tastes awesome, and is in harmony with the order of nature. Imagine what that poor little seed had to go through to have its pentadecanoic acid extracted from it in isolation. What kinds of chemicals were used to extract it. How much heat was used? Cleaners and colorants? Butter is truly sunshine and comes with so much more than just one little ole molecule.

@@starraider25 I am thinking you can avoid the potential issue with dairy by buying grass fed, unpasteurized, and raw dairy if you can. Most of the dairy in the USA come from A1 cows instead of A2 cows. A2 cows is better for the digestive system. It is funny because when I grew up in the UK I never had an issue with milk or diary products. Europeans consume a lot more dairy than Americans as Thomas DeLauer discovered when he traveled to Europe. They had a whole grocery section dedicated to dairy. There seems to be an emphasis to get most of your protein from dairy in Europe. No wonder it seems like the average European today is healthier than the average American, which did not used to be that way.

FWIW, for many months now I've been consuming a powerful yogurt cultured with a well-studied strain of the species L. reuteri, based on the instructions provided by Dr. William Davis. I continue consuming this yogurt for its several observed benefits. I prepare this yogurt using half and half (with high dairy fat content, of course). I'm wondering now whether this yogurt also contains a beneficial amount of C15.
Hi David, thanks for sharing. Yogurt is a source of C15 if it is in the original milk, per the comments from Dr Venn-Watson about different sources having different quantities. BTW, I take a probiotic with L. reuteri for bone health.
@ModernHealthspan One of the several touted effects L. reuteri yogurt, indeed, is improving bone health. Per Dr. Davis's instructions I use pasture-raised half and half, so, per this and other videos on C15, it's likely to have more C15. I use organic, too. FWIW, even before I started hearing about C15, I was considering adding in whipping cream. Now that I know about C15 I'm more likely to make my next batch with some whipping cream.

Is C-15 increased or modified by fermenting milk?
If true that we're not making any but ruminants do... that's a legit question.
Hi thanks for your question. I don't have an answer for that, but looking at this table (wholefoodcatalog.info/nutrient/pentadecanoic_acid/foods/high/) it seems that fermenting does not seem to reduce the level by much. It is an interesting question as to how it gets into the milk. Whether the cows make it or get it from their diet.
@@ModernHealthspan Thanks Richard.
If you can get c15 from cheese, then fermenting should be fine. In the Netherlands, a woman was trying to sell us tourists some cheese and attributed her young looks to eating cheese. I took it with a grain of salt but she may be right!
@@marnold2791 The ratio of C:15 to other saturated fats is 1 to 100 in dairy products, so it is not obvious that eating them is worth it. She said in another video that grain fed cows have lower C:15 so it might be better to chose organic dairies.
I'd be curious to know how animals like cows make C:15 and if we could emulate that one way or another in a way that doesn't create other saturated fats at the same time.

The trouble with getting C15:0 from food is that it is tied up in complex lipids called triacylglycerides, which our bodies cannot absorb. For this reason C15:0 absorption from only food has not been studied in depth on humans. What we do know is this- natural C15:0 levels started decreasing when the "Low Fat" movement happened in the 80's and 90's.
That said, C15:0 is found in some foods. This means that we all have some baseline level of C15:0. What fatty15 is expected to do is to raise this level to achieve the desired circulating C15:0 concentrations of 10 to 20 uM needed to attain key benefits.
I know when I took this product it did nothing for me so I stopped taking it but glad maybe it was just the amount that I did not get enough of.
U can test your levels of C15.0 at Genova Diagnostics online for around two hundred dollars, then u will know if y need to eat more dairy or supplement 😊
Why do you think our bodies can't absorb triacylglycerides? Of course they can. Triacylglycerides are fat. Regular animal or vegetable fats and oils. They are a normal part of our diet. We absorb them just fine.

What never gets included in such studies is a diet that is 70-100% animal foods, especially not one that is whole foods, nose-to-tail, organic, and pasture-raised.

Hi Jack, thanks for your comment. I would think that that is correct. The downside is that you get the other saturated fats too, but if you are eating full fat dairy then you have already decided that you are OK with this.

Sure but why? you have to spin it with a whizzer to mix it, otherwise the butter sits on top. I prefer heavy cream with my coffee, just like butter but mixes in liquids better.

Same thing. I prefer butter and drink your preference
what about brain health
Hi thanks for the question. C15 raises the levels of PDC (pentadecanoylcarnitine) which can have a positive impact on mood. One study did show inverse correlation with risk of Alzheimer's of C15 in the blood.
you should watch the visser podcast

Why not stearic acid?
Hi thanks for your question, however, I am not clear as to your meaning. The video is not about a supplement but about C15, the fatty acid and the benefits that it has. Stearic acid does not seem to have the negative effects of the other even chained saturated fats and it is available in common food sources. I am not sure if it would be a substitute or not.
@@ModernHealthspan It is cheap even if you ate it as a cosmetic grade powder supplement melted into food, it has mitochondrial fusion effects and it is the slowest to reach fat cells and it directly fights visceral fat and ectopic organ fat (palmitic acid has some of these benefits but not all of them). the main benefit of MCT fats would be driving BCAA catabolism.

Candle fish
Is this the type of fish missing in the California dolphins, but present in the Florida dolphins?
The highest natural source of Fatty Acid C15:0 can be found in Cheddar Cheese of all things, but they would rather you buy their patented supplement for $100 for 30 day supply.
It’s a little more than 100 for 90 days (closer to 3 months).
I poop out c15 it is
Pentadecylic acid vs Pentadecanoic acid are the same thing . Fatty 15 is over priced

No double bonds, I'm looking at a double bond
Few questions; perhaps you can shed some light.
1. Angiogenic factors ? Obviously C15 is proving to be a mTor inhibitor, my curiousity revolves around the notion of its angiogenic factors as well? If we have mild mTor inhibition, then we can repair, and develop new striated tissue, however, does C15 also carry with it factors promoting/enhancing angiogenisis? If so, that would be astounding news, as not only are we able to develop new striated/visceral tissue, possibly revitalizing lagging tissue development, C15 could find itself as an essential post myocardial incident.
2. Many western diets are not organic, and contain many pesticides and psuedohormones; What is the research state in the efficacy of C15 in organic diets, and gmo diets? My thought would be that C15 could have some benefit in detoxification due to mitochondrial activity elevations, which is promising for weight-loss, and overall cellular life. I will stop here with this line of question, hoping for some feedback.
3. Last question revolves around bio-availability? Do we have any data to show food associations that increase bio-availability with C15? In example, we see that the curcuminoids of Turmeric, are enhanced when coupled with Omega-3 fatty acid, as well as increases in cell life post-digestion. What, if any does the research state, concerning bio-availability, and cell life of supplementation with C-15?
Your responses are truly appreciated. I found this video only 6 hrs ago, and there are many others, but your posting includes data, and findings, from empirical research, so top notch work Sir, appreciated, and again thank you for any feedback you can give me. Definitely [based on findings] that there is a strong consideration for adding this long chain f/a to the essential list, yet that may become the primary research the fda does not.
Of course it is expensive thats why it is being hawked on youtube.
eat real food peeps.
Thanks
Hi Mike, thanks!
