Deep dives
Understanding C15 Deficiency
C15 is identified as an essential odd-chain saturated fatty acid that stabilizes cell membranes. Most people are unaware of its significance, though one in three individuals currently experiences a deficiency. This deficiency leads to 'cellular fragility syndrome', characterized by decreased resilience of cells, ultimately resulting in accelerated aging. The essential nature of C15 implies it must be obtained from the diet, as the body does not produce it naturally.
