Quick Read
- A clinical trial highlights the potential of Fatty15 in treating C15:0 deficiency syndrome, a previously overlooked nutritional gap.
- C15:0, an odd-chain saturated fatty acid, is shown to have benefits for cellular health, metabolic health, and chronic disease risk reduction, unlike common even-chain saturated fats.
- Modern diets may inadvertently reduce C15:0 intake, leading to deficiencies with implications for immune function, inflammation, and cellular aging.
- The trial challenges existing dietary guidelines and calls for further research into individual fatty acids and their roles in health.
