As a health coach and all-around wellness aficionado, I am pretty well-versed in all things health. I also consider myself a supplement guru. True story: my family and friends always stare in amazement at all my little supplement packs, always ready to go – in the am, before meals, pre-bed, you name it, I have a supplement for it. The thing is that as I age, and steadily approach 50, I am really looking towards those wellness products that make a worthwhile addition to my life–supplements that will keep me feeling youthful, even as I age.

While anti-aging skincare gets a lot of attention, there isn’t nearly much talk about supplements that can help make an impact on how we age.

I had heard some buzz around fatty15. Namely, that they had discovered the first essential fatty acid in over 90 years. And then there was of course the fact that Dr. Mark Hyman and Tinx take Fatty15.

You’ve probably heard of fish oil supplements and perhaps already take them; but have you heard of fatty acids?

Fatty Acids and Aging

What are fatty acids, exactly? And why are they considered essential nutrients?

Before we dive into fatty15, let’s first explore fatty acids and the role they play in our bodies and in relation to healthy aging. 

Our bodies are made up entirely of cells. Naturally, our bodies become more fragile as we age, causing us to feel less energized and more imbalanced. We can, however, give our cells a fighting chance to continue to work for us as we age.

We all know that a healthy, balanced diet and exercise can help us to age gracefully, but there’s more we can do, and that comes in the form of fatty acids. Certain kinds of fatty acids have been shown to slow age-related breakdown in our cells. C15:0 (aka FA15 which is the pure, fatty acid powder in fatty15) is one of them.

C15:0 is the first essential fatty acid to be discovered since the omegas—over 90 years ago. Pretty groundbreaking stuff.

Specifically, fatty15:

• Fights aging at the cellular level, by helping to strengthen cells against age-related breakdown
• Repairs mitochondrial function, which keeps our energy-producers going
• Naturally activates receptors (PPARs and AMPK) that regulate our metabolism, immunity, mood, sleep and appetite

We age because our cells do. The process of cellular breakdown is defined by nine ‘hallmarks of aging’ – and fatty15 has been shown to address at least three of these hallmarks.

All About C15:0

C15:0 is the pure fatty acid in fatty15 and it has been shown to support our bodies in the pursuit of good health and longevity. 

The benefits of fatty acids are well-studied and wide-reaching, from supporting brain function to skin health to healthy pregnancies. They are considered “essential” because they can only be found in food or external sources — the body cannot produce them independently. Studies have found that, as a population, humans’ reduced intake of dietary saturated fats has contributed to C15:0 deficiencies that are driving age-related health complications. Fatty15 contains a pure, patented, award-winning, C15:0 powder called FA15™.

Fatty15 reverses cellular aging

With 3X more cellular benefits than omega-3, Fatty15 targets and reverses the core of how we age. 

Fatty15 is a science-backed, award-winning C15:0 supplement that supports your long-term health & wellness.

While C15:0 is found in some whole fat dairy and animal products, it’s only present in trace amounts. Hence the birth of fatty15. The first fatty acid discovered in over 90 years, C15:0 is scientifically proven to fortify our cells against age: it strengthens cell membranes, boosts mitochondria, and promotes mind and body health.

The founder, Stephanie Venn-Watson, had the enviable job of studying pods of dolphins when her research led her to discover C15:0. While working as a veterinary epidemiologist, Dr. Venn-Watson discovered the monumental role of fatty acid, C15:0, in protecting the health of dolphins. Upon further investigation, she noted that dolphins age similarly to humans and can develop the same diseases — along with chronic complications like high cholesterol, inflammation, and even diabetes.You can learn more about the story on their website, which includes a TedX talk that’s worth watching, too.

Cellular health = whole-body health

I strongly believe in preventative health and holistic wellness. I’d prefer to circumvent issues and take care of my body now, rather than deal with health complications down the line. fatty15’s promise is solidly grounded in science. In fact, C15:0 is so critical to protecting mind and body health that fatty15 is shown to improve aging-related conditions in weeks.

Peer-reviewed studies have confirmed that C15:0 strengthens cell membranes by 80%, and boosts mitochondrial function by 45%. By supporting cellular wellness — beginning at the root instead of treating the symptoms — fatty15 is working to improve human health for years to come. 

So does it work?

I didn’t really understand the difference between fatty15 and other omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acid supplements I had tried before. While all omegas can promote long-term metabolic and immune health, fatty15 checks a few additional boxes. I was immediately excited by the clear scientific and evidence-based research behind the product.

After taking fatty15 regularly for about 6 months, I’m experiencing an improvement in my mood and stress, mental clarity, energy, and sleep. I feel and look better, sleep better, and my blood work came back significantly better.

With its unique blend of cellular, metabolic, immune, and heart health benefits, fatty15 has earned its place as a staple in my daily routine.

Customer testimonials speak volumes

Take a browse through the fatty15’s site and you’ll find nothing but 5-star reviews. You’ll also learn why scientists, doctors, and people worldwide are adding this essential fatty acid to their supplement routine.

Fatty15 promotes healthy metabolism, balanced immunity, and heart health at the cellular level. 2 out of 3 customers report near-term benefits, including calmer mood, deeper sleep or less snacking, within 6 weeks. Healthy aging, delivered directly to your cells

With its ability to support your long-term health and wellness, including your metabolic, heart, immune and liver health, fatty15 has emerged as a better, broader and safer option over omega-3 fish oil supplements. A decade of advanced science, over 30 patents, and an award-winning > 99.5% pure C15:0 powder ingredient is proof that the future of essential fatty acids is here.

Arm your cells against aging: try fatty15 here.

You receive the kit as a refillable glass bottle (with a bamboo lid), and 3x packets which each have 30 capsules in them, to make up a 90-day supply as you take just one per day. You can also choose a 30-day supply if you want to try it for a shorter term initially. Taking just one a day definitely appealed to me – for ease and travel.

You won’t find any additives, fillers, or preservatives in fatty15, and because it’s a stable fatty acid at room temperature, it’s not susceptible to oxidation.
