Episode notes
Dolphin Discovery
- C15, a longevity nutrient, was discovered through research on dolphins.
- Dolphins, like humans, experience age-related issues such as high cholesterol.
Essential Fatty Acid
- C15 is the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years.
- Independent studies confirm its essentiality, meaning our bodies require it.
Cellular Fragility Syndrome
- Low C15 levels cause Cellular Fragility Syndrome, similar to vitamin deficiencies causing scurvy or rickets.
- This syndrome involves fragile cells, liver iron overload, and fatty liver disease.
