      As a physician who has a patient population of young adults with fatty liver disease, I find the C15:0 story compelling. Specifically the pathophysiology of the cellular fragility syndrome makes sense. Low levels of sturdy fatty acids like C15:0 in our cell membranes leads to weakened cells, leading to lipid peroxidation, ROS, iron deposition, iron overload and cell death by ferroptosis, leading to accelerated NAFLD/NASH. Further, the clinical trial you mentioned was performed by Dr. Schwimmer, a leader in pediatric fatty liver disease. The way I read his findings is that if you increase your C15:0 levels above 5ug/mL, patients with increased liver enzymes had significant improvements in ALT and AST, which to me means that there is a safe, low risk way to address a condition (fatty liver disease) that has very few treatment options. Exciting (but early) findings.

      You are either incorrect or have little evidence that supplements that are antioxidants generally blunt the effect of exercise. You should stop saying this. Some antioxidants do this but not all. We know that there are human studies suggesting that astaxanthin increases muscle strength and endurance. There are mouse studies on curcumin and olive leaf extract that show that each improved muscle mass, strength and /or endurance.
      I will give you one example, but there are several
      This human clinical trial on Natural Astaxanthin in 2011 was funded by Gatorade Sports Science Institute. For this study, Gatorade used competitive cyclists, supplementing them with a placebo or 4 mg of Natural Astaxanthin each day for four weeks. From the endurance athlete’s-or for that matter-from any competitive athlete’s perspective, the results were excellent. In a 20 kilometer (approximately 12.5 mile) cycling time trial, the performance of the subjects taking Astaxanthin significantly improved, while the subjects taking placebo showed no improvement. Natural Astaxanthin made these competitive cyclists on average 5% faster in only 28 days. Also, the cyclists taking Astaxanthin demonstrated significant improvement in their power output, which increased by 15% on average over the same 28 day period.
      As far as I know, Gatorade does not sell, and has not sold, a product containing astaxanthin

    I have been on the road to recovery now for 3 years.
    Nothing I did improved my Hct from the 42 range. I started on Fatty15 7 weeks Ago. My Hct has jumped to almost 49.
    I have gone from needing 9 hours of sleep to 7.
    Interestingly, one of the drugs I take for rejection, Prograf, is tested monthly for its level.
    The level started going down indicated I needed more to be therapeutic. What is interesting I have been on a microscopic dose, which always mad the transplant team anxious. I know I’m interpreting this the way I want to see it, but I believe it is because my liver is functioning at a higher level.
    I have also been suffering from paper thin skin for almost 7 years. Nothing helped. It would bruise and tear very easily.
    Now it takes a major injury to cut or bruise.

    The other side of the argument: A lack of evidence isn't evidence of a lack. My wife and I have been taking C15 for two months so far, and it has had some positive effects on our health. With no other changes to our healthcare we've noticed better skin, hair, and nails, and I expect to see some better figures on our next set of blood tests. So, it appears to work for us. If you choose not to use it then by all means follow your inclination, but in a field as quack-ridden as healthcare (Remember "fat makes you fat"? Also, when was the last time a doctor prescribed a coronary calcium test, despite its efficacy?), it's better to keep an open mind.

    • @ChessMasterNate
      @ChessMasterNate 21 день назад

      Until you have those better blood tests, you haven't even got anecdotal evidence. I hope you do get improvements. It would be nice if the hype were true. Though, if true, the Fed should invalidate the patent. Nothing "essential" should be patentable. That is not in the public interest. You can't patent the water we drink or the air we breathe.
      The best affordable arterial disease progression measure is a Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Test (CIMT). Calcium just tells you about the stabilized plaque. The inflamed liquid plaques are the ones most likely to burst and cause a heart attack or stroke. If there was no change in lifestyle, and calcium score is high, it is likely there is the bad stuff too, but this is just logical deduction not measurement.
      There are other cheap tests that have utility. Pulse wave analysis, and a test you can actually do yourself: The ankle-brachial index test. With repeated measurements, averages and such, doing it yourself with an electronic blood pressure cuff large enough for your ankle, and following the directions, it is doable at home. I have done it. I get 1.1 I think that is close to optimal. If my score was not so good, I would be begging for that CIMT.

      It is a bit pricy. But one can also get it in foods (butter, ghee, durian). (Though these have other saturated fats.) But the risk is very low, esp. compared to the suggested (though not proven) benefits. So one can try it, and see how one feels. This is esp. if one has avoided dairy most of one's life, and probably majorly deficient in something.
      If one waits for it to be established fully scientifically, this will take awhile. (I also agree they probably hyped too much. They probably could've qualified their claims as preliminary. Also, I find opinions on nutrition and supplements seem to be all over the place, on RUclips, even by scientifically credentialed people. This isn't to say there aren't broad areas of agreement. But there are also lots of places of dispute.)
      When I first took it, it wasn't as I expected. The effects were a bit of bloating, amped up energy (such that my blood pressure went up), as well a kind of calm. It was mixed. But my blood pressure worried me. So I stopped. Then figured I'd dose it in, with smaller amounts. First just using durian. Later, a small amount of the capsule powder in my coffee. Eventually can now do a capsule a day.
      The longer term effects have now been lowering my blood pressure, better wound healing, calmer, less stressed, HRV improving. There were a lot of things that improved across the board. I'll go in for blood work, in about the month. If this is a placebo, there are a lot of other things I've taken before, that could've been placebos. This feels different. But we'll see.

    Actually many ingredients that make a cake taste better also make a stew taste better... Adding black chocolate to the sauce of a beef stew like Daube or Boeuf Bourgignon is an old trick of french cooks, cinnamon also adds flavor. More general, adding sugar to savory dishes in general makes them better, as does adding a bit of salt to many sweet desserts and cakes. Adding butter to both will also make them simultaneously tastier and unhealthier...

    I’m in my 50’s and most of my family has died from Alzheimer’s. Because of this and my age, I started taking neuro hacking supplements a few years ago. I had a full physical about 5 months ago and was told my liver enzymes were spot on for good health. 4 months ago, I added the supplement uridine after watching some videos on it. A month ago I ended up spending several days in the hospital with fatty liver disease. They said one of my numbers is supposed to be under 100, but was now over 2100. I started reading about each supplement I take and found that in some, uridine can cause this. I stopped taking all supplements completely. I feel more clear minded now than I have in years. I’m going to steer clear of supplements for the foreseeable future.

    What a fantastic and eye-opening video, Dr. Stanfield! 🌟 Your breakdown of the supplement hype cycle is not just timely but essential in a world where "miracle cures" seem to pop up faster than a TikTok dance trend.
    It's fascinating (and a bit alarming) how the supplement industry has mastered the art of storytelling. They’ve turned marketing into a high-stakes game of "who can sell the most hope." I mean, if I had a dollar for every time I saw a supplement marketed as the "next big thing," I could probably fund my own clinical trial! 💸
    Your point about TEDx talks being used as platforms for unvetted claims is particularly striking. It’s like watching a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat-impressive, but you have to wonder where that rabbit came from! 🐇✨ Just because someone is on a stage doesn’t mean they’re not just selling smoke and mirrors.
    And let’s not forget the irony of it all: we’re often told to "trust the science," yet many of these supplements lack the rigorous research that would make any scientist proud. It’s like being served a gourmet meal that looks amazing but is made entirely of air-satisfying to the eyes, but not so much for the stomach! 🍽
    For anyone looking to navigate this minefield, your advice on seeking out supplements with proven health benefits is golden. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best "supplement" is a balanced diet and a good night’s sleep. Who knew that the real miracle cure was just a well-rounded lifestyle?
    Thanks for shedding light on this important topic, and for keeping us all informed and entertained! Looking forward to your next video-maybe something on the "real" benefits of kale? 😉🥬

    What I did after reading all the "C15 papers" I could find - simply make a more concerted daily effort to getting grass-fed dairy products, goat/sheep milk products, and/or grass-fed beef. Near as I can tell, about 2 ounces a day of such cheese or butter, 4 oz of such beef, or a couple cups a day of such whole milk meets the "RDA" (assuming/if such a thing truly exists for C15). Any one of those in nominal amounts each day should do the trick, and since all of those are all healthy unprocessed foods with beneficial Omega 3 profiles as well - as long as I keep it all within daily calorie thresholds there is no downside risk if the whole thing turns out to be bullocks. :)

    • @2BWiley2

      What about them? Sure, there are people with allergies or vegan that may wish to avoid. I would suggest anyone that believes proper health maintenance must include 100% avoidance of any level of saturated fat consumption is not fully or properly informed. For example; C15 itself - to any extent it truly is essential - is a saturated fat. And somehow, if the research is to be believed, that saturated fat became “essential” to proper cellular health over the course of at least a few hundred thousand years of evolution (if not millions), despite the absence of a magic pill…

    I have obtained a letter from the National Archives that Stephanie Venn-Watson wrote back in 1977 when she was just 5 years old. She wrote to the United States Congress demanding they modify the dietary guidelines to exclude dairy fat. AND THEY DID JUST THAT! The same exact year, her future husband wrote to Sardian sheep farmers in broken-Italian and asked them to consume adundant amounts of their pecorino cheese to obtain high levels of C15:0. Their plan? 45 years later compare Sardians with high levels of pentadecanoic acid to Americans with almost none, pen some wild story and publish it in a peer-reviewed journal, then create a supplement. And it worked...ALMOST. If it hadn’t been for the New Zealand medical Magnum P.I. (you just need to grow a crumb catcher, Brad) they would have gotten away with it! Thanks for the cracking the case! By the way, I would love to try the supplement you're pushing on your website (the Dr. Brad Stanfield Micro Vitamin for a cool $39.99) in order to reep the "18% smoother skin" benefit. Would you recommend I have my rough skin tested prior to taking it and then again after 3 months? What would that test be, exactly? Thanks, Julian

She may be sincere and the marketing people took over and over hyped the product. The fatty 15 people say they have a double blind placebo human trial of 20 people taking their pills and 10 control people taking placebos with good results on the 20 people. I wish Brad had talked some about the Sardinians and the human trials, otherwise it was a great video.

    Yes, this aligns with my experience as a consumer. Not a science person but usually curious about things, I like to find the evidence for claims and it is often very much like was described here: “in animal studies …. Scientists found in mice that ….” Listening to many of the presentations you find on RUclips, there are great leaps in logic. You often read the “10 best foods/supplements for people with (insert condition)” and when you read through said list, it is full of hyperbole, making tenuous links such as Vitamin C is an antioxidant therefore prunes, which are high in vitamin C can reduce3 inflammation. Can sound convincing. Going through a few health conditions myself, I’ve become very alert to the points described here relative to that hype cycle. Some articles look like they have actually made links to scientific research and will provide the links (knowing most people wont read them but just accept the fact that “it must be true then”) that are actually related to something else. The dosage of supplements is also concerning to me. There needs to be regulation of the supplement industry.

Also started taking astragalus though as well. I have looked hard for the papers from 2012, nada. It does make me suspicious about a scientific journey vs. greed. But if it can lower mTor which is unproven, it might escape all those patents and just be added back into milk.🎉 My hearing loss may be improving due to that new form of autophagy.

    Dr. Stephanie Venn Watson is an interesting person with, indeed, great insight. Also notable is her entrepreneur mind. She seems to know how to put the results of her work into an ingenious new business. I understand that when she and her team discovered the role of C15 in the well-being of the dolphins, she attributed the lack of C15 to the changing nutrition of the animals. In other words, according to her, in the past those dolphins would have had sufficient C15 to thrive. Therefore, for millennia dolphins have received all the needed C15 from the right diet. What humans need is to eat a healthy diet rich in saturated fats from dairy. Look at the centenarians of Sardinia. They seem to have enough of the C15 in their system without any supplement. They apparently get all their C15 from eating dairy product from raw goats and sheep’s milk pasturing on the grass of high mountains tops. I modestly believe that we can get the C15 we need from the proper diet rich in dairy saturated fats and the meat of those animals. Just have cheese high in C15 daily, and a rack of lamb regularly!
