Dolphins Reveal a Core Secret to Longevity

What started as a study to improve the health of aging Navy dolphins resulted in the discovery of a critical nutrient, called C15:0, which has been used by nature for thousands of years to extend mammalian longevity.

C15:0 (pentadecanoic acid) is the first essential fatty acid to be discovered in over 90 years, and it supports both healthspan and lifespan by strengthening cell membranes against age-driving lipid peroxidation. In collaboration with the Navy, doctors spent a decade developing fatty15 as a pure, bioavailable, science-backed, patented, and award-winning C15:0 supplement that slows aging to meaningfully protect our long-term health, including metabolic, heart, and liver health.
