C15:0 - Pentadecylic acid - Is anyone familiar with the research on this?

[Darkhorse192]

sounds like some promising findings, but it also appears to be prevalent in dairy, so not sure why it would need to be sold as a stand-alone. Probably the same bioavailability and significance dosage reasons as other things found in foods? Oddly, the three research studies / papers were all conducted by the same person.

Pentadecanoic Acid (C15:0), an Essential Fatty Acid, Shares Clinically Relevant Cell-Based Activities with Leading Longevity-Enhancing Compounds

Pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) is an essential odd-chain saturated fatty acid with broad activities relevant to protecting cardiometabolic, immune, and liver health. C15:0 activates AMPK and inhibits mTOR, both of which are core components of the human longevity pathway. To assess the potential for...
