C15:0: The New Essential Fatty Acid for Healthy Ageing

C15:0 (pentadecanoic acid)—the unique fatty acid in fatty15—is now proposed as a new essential fatty acid, necessary for baseline physiological health and insufficiently produced by the body.

Its deficiency is linked to "Cellular Fragility Syndrome," which involves fragile cell membranes, cell death (ferroptosis), and impaired metabolic and organ health. Optimizing C15:0 status may be key to addressing this fragility that underlies age-related changes.

C15:0 provides multi-targeted support:

• Metabolic Health: It activates key regulators (PPARs, AMPK, AKT) to support healthier glucose, cholesterol, and liver enzyme levels.
• Cognitive Health: It exerts neuroprotective effects by inhibiting FAAH and MAO-B, enzymes linked to mood, sleep, and the breakdown of dopamine as we age.

For long-term resilience, fatty15 offers a single, science-backed way to restore C15:0 levels and support overall cellular health.

After the summer break, September is the ideal time for practitioners to refresh their online presence.

In this in-depth conversation, Tanya Borowski sits down with David Brassey to examine three client cases where Natren probiotics played a pivotal role in supporting gastrointestinal health.

In our fast-paced world, stress and mild anxiety have become common challenges. Herbal supplements like passion flower, valerian root, lemon balm, lavender, and hops strobile have garnered attention for their potential calming effects.

Natasha Trenev has played a pivotal role in shaping the probiotics industry. Her work in the field began long before the term "probiotics" became widely known and she continues to enhance our understanding and appreciation of these beneficial microorganisms.
