Just wanted to say that 1/2 cup of butter provides 880 mg of C15. I eat a primarily carnivore diet so beef, lamb, tallow, and lots of butter. I think Im covered!!! Thank you so much for this information. I was considering buying this supplement, but it looks like I've been "supplementing" with it for the last few years! Also wanted to say, I think it's always better to get as much nutrition from natural foods. I'm not knocking supplements, but often the nutrients within a certain food will work in synergy together, whereas stripping that food of one nutrient and taking only that can be less effective.
Stephanie Venn-Watson published several studies that are still ongoing and what she and her physician husband found that is that C15:0 Pentadecanoic acid is a new essential fatty acid. Our bodies need it but doesn't make it. She specifically advised that only sheep and goat milk products from mountainous regions would be an effective dietary source. Regular whole dairy milk contain inflammatory elements and don't provide enough pure C15.
@@addictivewellness Of course it is. That simply means that you must demand third party confirmation to be sure the research is legit, not incentivized by profit. It certainly does not mean that you can ethically/responsibly make the unwarranted and ridiculous statements that you have as an 'influencer'. For example, that you can get what you need from commercial PIZZA(?)! (Their research completely contradicts that conclusion). No responsible person would make that statement, especially if you even read their research conclusions. And yes, I am SUPER skeptical about research sponsored by those who sell a product. Give both sides of the story, or give neither. BTW, I hope you're getting a lot of clicks on this slanted propaganda article so you can make more money.
I did purchase Fatty 15, I’ve been using it for two weeks now & it says one a day but I’m a big guy so I take one in the morning & one in the evening and I have been doing carnivore since 12/22/23 and I’ve lost 40 lbs; 10.5 inches off my tummy & blood sugar from 134 mg/dl down to 104 mg/dl. Any way my sleep has been lacking average only about 5 hrs a night. Since I started fatty15 I’m getting my full 8 hrs & it feels great soooo, I’m a thumbs up guy for this. Hate the price but living the sleep
Your analysis belies the research. Of course you can obtain C15 in your diet. That has been acknowledged. The stated problem of obtaining it in your diet is that the foods which contain it the most also contain inflammatory fats which are harmful.
Thanks for sharing your feelings! This video was from 3 years ago and at that time, Fatty15 was not attempting to make this point in their sales and marketing approach. I respectfully don't agree with the point being pushed that even chain fatty acids are harmful, as many are very beneficial and there are plenty of food sources of C15 with net positive impact in my opinion. But if you disagree, that's okay!
Regarding comments about milk and butter being a sufficient source of pentadecanoic acid, a few things should be noted. Three quarters of the world’s 8 billion people don’t consume milk and stopped producing lactase (the enzyme used to split lactose into glucose and galactose) after breastfeeding. In North America well over 90% of milk/butter is coming from Holsteins and is so depleted of fatty acids (with the exception of C16, C18 and C18:1) that there are but trace amounts of C15:0. What you are consuming, though, are growth hormones, antibiotics and pus (there are dozens of bacteria causing mastitis, and it is impossible to always isolate these infected cows especially on industrial farms that are using fully-automated milking parlours). If you have access to a small-scale dairy farmer selling milk from grass-fed Jersey cows, achieving baseline C15 levels is perhaps achievable. Dairy, however, is a business and Jerseys, due to their limited yields, are not what farmers consider a “cash cow”. As a dairy scientist (who doesn't touch commercial dairy) the options are fairly clear to me: consume dairy beyond the current recommended guidelines and run the cardiovascular risks or supplement.
The problem with getting C15 from food sources, such as butter, is that you end up consuming inflammatory fatty acids like C18 as well. I am still searching for a good food source where C15 is much more dominant.
Thank you! I was getting their ads and researching it only to find their sponsored studies. I am now sure I get enough currently. And I’m going to try the durian fruit … a couple times :)
No , dairy does not contain much.. read the long comment by the dairy scientist just above your comment! Only certain cows, not used by the dairy farmers..........
As a biomedical engineer in R&D I prefer reference papers cited for those C15 sources. For most foods you mentioned I have not yet found a paper with their C15 contents. Please cite.
I am using ghee and it is working... my hair stopped falling out and it has only been a week there was no hair in the little hair catcher in the tub tonight.... that hasn't happened to me since I was under 20 and my shoulder has stopped hurting
Thanks for the video. Durian is something people either hate it or love it. My mom & my wife absolutely love it while I just can't stand it. It's extremely nutritious, though. That's why it's called king of fruits.
Just as omega3 and omega6, maintaining a special ratios of c15/c16 is important. I am not sure, but maybe the food sources of C15 has a high Amount of C16. Otherwise the natives who eat durian fruit a lot, should be outstandingly much healthier than us.
The liver makes plenty of C16. C15 was claimed to be essential for cell membranes fluidity. Scientists should really analyze cell membranes fatty acids composition to shine a light on the whole issue.
Most durian lover are healthy but not because of C15, People who love durian will hate alcohal and vice versa, I dont know why but from my observation, I am from southeast asia. By the way duriean is also dense in sugar.
Thanks so much! I 100% agree with your assessment. Really appreciate the tip about food sources. Do you know of any readily accessible table of c15 concentrations in food?
Please don’t say it’s not necessary. Say it might not be IF you can eat those foods. I’m reactive to dairy (the better the quality, the more reactive), allergic to beef and lamb, can’t eat nightshades, so many of those are OUT. I also eat very little. So taking it as a supplement is a good way to ensure I get what I need. And it has made an obvious difference in my health over 6 months.
What the maker of C15 says is that the C15 in meat, dairy etc comes with C16 and other even numbered fatty acid which are inflammatory. Their C15 is from vegan source and they tinkered with it to create C15. I believe in the importance of C15. I also believe you should get it from real food. Butter, grass fed beef etc. Thanks for the durian tip. Will go hunting for some at the Asian store.
Thanks for your comment! I think it's easy and convenient for them to look at C16 in isolation and purely through the lens of inflammation rather than taking a more holistic view. Palmitic acid (C16), while often discussed for its potential negative health impacts when consumed in excess, also has some physiological roles and benefits: Energy Source: Palmitic acid is a major source of energy. It is stored in adipose tissue and can be mobilized to meet energy needs when necessary. Cell Membrane Structure: Palmitic acid is a component of phospholipids, which are essential for maintaining cell membrane integrity and fluidity. Signal Transduction: Palmitic acid is involved in the post-translational modification of proteins, such as palmitoylation, which affects protein localization and function, impacting various signaling pathways. Lung Function: Palmitic acid is a key component of lung surfactant, which reduces surface tension in the lungs and is crucial for proper lung function and respiration. Immune Function: Palmitic acid is involved in the activation of certain immune cells and can play a role in the body’s defense mechanisms.
Don't you find it odd that the milk animal produce for their young would be inflamatory? Nature would more likely give it a good balance of fatty acids, including C15:0. Even those organizations which without proof claimed that saturated fatty were unhealthy has naw withrawn that claim. But, of course, the echo of that mistaken claim is still frequently repeated. Now by the sellers of a new expensive supplement, who seems not to like it that we can get it from natural sources.
Pecorino Cheese has as high amounts of C 15 as Durian fruit. So I guess eating Pecorino cheese in small servings each day would be enogh to keep the C 15 suppliments away which by the way are very expensive.
No, I don't agree. This video couldn't be more deceiving and misleading. Isn't that the case with every supplement we take? We could just eat better and intentionally right? I do all kinds of natural, healthy, choices, supplements, medicine and therapies and nothing I've done or taken has come close to this amazing product. I can attest to the amazing benefits this C15-o has. The first day, I was able to sleep without waking up and what is off the hook for me is that I woke up refreshed, awaken, with energy and didn't struggle like every morning prior. I already do the diet thing to increase nutrition density and everything this guy mentions in this video. I eat clean, minimal to none processed food, mild exercise due to continuing my recovery. So when I took this I was astonished at what it did for me, like no other supplement has. I can finally sleep after two years of insomnia. So please, who ever is struggling with brain fog, fatigue, low energy, insomnia, low energy -specially in the morning and you struggle to get out of bed, please give this a try. You will not regret it. I'm so disappointed at this video, someone who hasn't even tried this product is giving a review based on just the label and simplifying the science to " oh we could just eat better or eat certain foods to get the same benefit from this bottle" So misleading! This product could potentially help so many people.
This video coulnt be less decieving if it tried. 😂 Unbelievable that your comment has 5 likes. First off, what you don't get right off the bat is the difference between c15 and other supplements is that it's so easy to get the serving size of c15 in one meal. Many supplements thats not possible. THATS THE DIFFERENCE 😂 As he explicitly explains. Secondly, the supplement that you say worked the miracle for you has less c15 in it than a typical hamburger does. Hmmm.....
One dose of a fatty acid is not going to change your life in one day. You are either a shill for the company or someone who is easily brainwashed by commercials
This stuff works. Been on it for a week and I can finally sleep. Don't knock it till you try it buddy. Durian is hard to get regularly. Also dairy comes with too much sat fat, also cancer causing meat...not good.
Actually, most of the research was funded by the US Navy. The two people that did this research were commissioned to determine why the dolphins being used by the Navy had such a short like span. This research pointed to the reduction of C15 in their diet as the problem resulting in the reduction of the dolphins life span. This research was later expanding through different funding to determine if the same is true for humans.
Durian rocks. I live in Thailand, every season we order 3-4 organic Durian every couple weeks. Look forward to durian season every year. And yup, my first try was less than terrible 😳 But second time i was hooked. Also highly depends on the Type of durian, the temperature of the fruit at the time of eating and ripeness. The first time the odds were stacked. 😊
@@addictivewellness just chilled. Not too cold. First time it was sold from st vendor on a real hot day and was a bit over ripe and mushy. No crispness to the outer layer. Was like eating sweet onion custard 😄
Just because a food contains a certain nutrient doesn't mean it's a good source of that nutrient as it may not be but as bioavailable or the food may also contain other undesirable substances.
That was fascinating. No one has ever talked about C15 in food! I've been taking the supplement which is very expensive, but I can get it in a cup of potatoes? !!!! wow Btw, you have a very friendly voice!
What about those of us that can't tolerate dairy, have no access to durian, and do not eat meat? Any other plant- based sources to get these same levels? My research (from various, reputable sources) shows very low levels in potatoes, and most other veggies and fruits. Even with eating 5+ servings of veggies, 2+ of whole grains, 2+ of legumes each day, I'll barely get to 50mg.
I eat a lot of cheese. Is there any particular cheese that has a higher content of C15, of maybe there are some cheeses that have very low amounts of C15? It would be nice to have a list of good cheeses with lots of C15.
Lol thanks for saving me tons of money bc I was getting a lot of their ads and thinking about trying it if it wasn’t easy to get in regular food. I eat cheese, dairy, etc a lot so I don’t need to buy this. Also good pointing out most of the studies were funded by the company: conflict of interest red flag
Glad I could help! haha that's great that you are getting plenty of it from dietary sources already. I would say that when studies are funded by the company it's not necessarily always bad-...often with early stage things like this, nobody will fund a study unless they have a way to make the money back, as running such a study is very expensive. But it's definitely not ideal, especially when it's relatively easy to get this dietarily 😊🙌🏼
There is one issue that comes to mind. The amount of a nutrient is often less relevant than it's bioavailability. How much of various forms and sources of a nutrient are absorbed, metabolized, and utilized by the body? Some nutrients compete for absorption with other nutrients, are absorbed better with food or alone, need to be in a specific ratio, etc. In the original study on dolphins, the healthier older individuals had higher levels of C15. Is that because they were somehow eating more of it? Or were they absorbing more of it for some as yet undetermined reason?
About 30 g (one Oz) of butter gives the 200 mg of C15:0 the researchers behind the supplement claim is optimal. Butter has 753 mg of C15:0 per 100 g. Or 265 g of natural Greek of Turkish yoghourt (with 10 % fat) if you don't eat butter. I think you can stay in keto!
Unfortunately ordered it yesterday - today discovered the major source is butter…anyway, will take the supplement (will double the dose) for 45 days and see the difference
Grass fed is an important consideration as I understand. I hope food producers wake up and include C15 amounts in their labeling, starting with the grass fed animsl producers.
All you really need to do is eat meat. Preferably grass fed, pasture raised ruminant animals and their milk and fat. It's the most bio available food source for human mammals.
Thomas Delauer just interviewed Stephanie on his YT channel. I think she mentioned insulin as a good vegan fiber source of C15. It is her company that sells the supplements. It’s a very interesting conversation.
I have has serious health problems for decades. I'm allergic to seafood and dairy. I've just started the supplement and have had some positive results. They're could be 30% of the population who cannot digest dairy. I get really annoyed when people say just get it from such and such. Many of us CAN'T!
Hey Keith, I'm glad to hear you're feeling a bit better! How do you do with ghee that has all the dairy protein removed? And what about some of the other sources of C15 that aren't dairy or seafood, like grass-fed beef or pasture-raised poultry?
@@addictivewellness I'm 73 and have lost most of my teeth. My food allergies are probably related to a serious health issue at 17 when I nearly died. My diet now is mostly supplements and salad soups . I read the paper on the research. So it made sense to me. I have to be extremely careful with what I eat. My allergies are that serious.
265 g of Greek of Turkish yoghourt (with 10 % fat) gives the optimal dose of C15:0 of 200 mg. Calculated from that butter has 753 mg /100 g of C15:0. The supplement is really expensive!
When you get Fatty acid c15 from food, which is an odd chain fatty acid...and odd chain fatty acids are known to promot longevity and fight inflamation, you also get the even chain fatty acids that do the opposite. Furthermore, C-15 is generally found in small amounts than the other, not so helpful fatty acids. So unless you can identify food that is high in C-15 and other beneficial odd chain fatty acids, that is low in the potentially harmful fatty acids...it would seem that the C-15 supplement is the way to go. You video does not provide enough information to back your opinion. It would be great if you could follow up with a video that breaks down the fatty acid content in the foods you're suggesting so we can see if that really is a reasonable way to go.
I respectfully would not agree with a generalization that all even chain fatty acids are harmful. As a few examples: Caprylic Acid (C8): Energy Source: Caprylic acid is readily absorbed and metabolized by the body, providing a quick and sustained energy boost. Weight Management: It promotes satiety and fat burning, aiding in weight management by controlling appetite and increasing calorie expenditure. Antimicrobial Properties: Caprylic acid exhibits antimicrobial properties, helping to combat harmful bacteria, fungi, and viruses in the body. Brain Health: It crosses the blood-brain barrier, serving as an efficient energy source for the brain and enhancing cognitive function. Capric Acid (C10): Energy Source: Similar to caprylic acid, capric acid provides a readily available source of energy and supports physical performance and endurance. Weight Management: It promotes satiety and fat burning, aiding in weight management efforts by controlling appetite and increasing calorie expenditure. Antimicrobial Properties: Capric acid possesses antimicrobial properties, contributing to a healthy balance of gut microflora and supporting immune function. Brain Health: Like caprylic acid, capric acid crosses the blood-brain barrier and supports cognitive function and overall brain health.
@@addictivewellness you may be right about those but it doesn't change the fact that there are other potentially unwanted fatty acids present and that all we really are looking add is the beneficial C15 fatty acid. So an analysis of what's in those suggested foods is necessary to make an informed decision.
I looked up the fatty acid profile of durian fruit. There is no c15:0 in that fruit. please point me to the profile where you saw c15:0 I Durian fruit. THANKS
If you want results you don’t want the c16 and c18 that cause inflammation just to get c15. Cheese and beef have those other fatty acids. If vegan this is by far the best way to get fatty acids. Not that I’m vegan.
Vegans claim they are healthier than others, and they might be,... with a few supplements. Such as B12, omega-3, and now C15:0. Veganism is such a modern thing. We might have more deficiencies to find out about it.
You’re absolutely right, vegans need to eat more with the true understanding of what they’re eating and what they’re not getting from the foods that they are eating.
Only thing is that C15 is now deficient in many people because once milk products are pasteurized, they lose C15 and we don't get the right amounts to maintain healthy cells.
Unfortunately cheese ect which has C15 is also the source of inflammatory fats. C15 from salmon is unlikely to be associated with inflammatory fats. Drinking lots of full fat milk again has C15 but its associated with other inflammatory fats
Durian is absolutely disgusting!!! Maybe it tastes better if fresh in Thailand but you can only get it imported here and it’s like eating something rotten. My entire family tried it and our mouths instantly rejected it. Our brains told us it was wrong and shouldn’t be pot in the body. I know the company you’re talking about and according to them, you can’t get what you need from a regular diet especially if you’re plant based. It’s in dairy like butter but then you’re putting bad things into the body and there’s a breaking down process needed that in the end leaves you with very little of the 15.
Hi, thanks for your comment! I'm sorry to hear you had such a rough durian experience. Perhaps you didn't get a good one or perhaps it's just not to your liking, which is okay too! Not everyone has to love a certain food for others to be able to enjoy it! I wouldn't agree with consumption of grass-fed organic butter being "putting bad things" into the body though. So have you been supplementing with C15? How has it been going for you?
I been eating durain since I was a kid... my momlove it and my father hate it... I love it and I now live in Bangkok and it's in season now... don't eat it with alcohol and there is nothing wrong eating it...
Thankyou for your video. I kinda had the same response as you in regards to the c15 supplement. Follow the money and you might see where this goes. I , too, would hope that c15 is the "miracle pill" but why pay more than $100 for one bottle of c15 when you can get c15 via a balanced diet?
Taking a pure C15 supplement will have a drug like effect because it has direct access to the cells without having to be absorbed variously from foods and digestive systems. You cannot get the same effect from foods. It is comparable to taking rapamycin and metformin without the drug sife effects. All the trials are done with the pure form where consistency is important.
First: if you are talking about just dairy--good luck with that. Nowadays much of it is nonfat and from what I read, the process of removing the fat from the milk takes out precisely what is needed, i.e., C-15. Full fat kefir that is grass fed and raw is very hard to find and when I found it at a health food store that happens to carry it this kind of kefir it was over seven dollars a quart, which is about twice as much as the low fat variety, readily available. Second: for those of us who are diabetic, I would surmise that we need far more C-15 than this tiny amount you are suggesting to jump start a recovery from diabetes. (Allopathy has NO answer for diabetes beyond taking drugs forever. Don’t even go there.) Third: I never heard of this fruit you are talking about. And this too, begs the question: what good is there to suggest a fruit that is not readily available and if we do happen to find it, it could be just like the raw milk, grass fed full fat kefir, that is, it cost twice as much as what is commonly available and what is affordable. Nowadays food is costly so price is always a consideration. In the final analysis supplementation might be the best alternative for a diabetic, but the price of what I saw was prohibitive at $100 dollars a bottle. Food science needs to be revamped to be less profit driven and unbiased.
Hey Bill! Not a stupid question at all! There is indeed some C15 in colostrum. But this is only one of many beneficial compounds in colostrum (immunoglobulins, immune transfer factors, growth factors, lactoferrin, etc.)
@@addictivewellness would it be safe to assume then that colostrum would be the logical choice between the two? I used to take colostrum all the time, years ago, but like anything, just stopped.
@@addictivewellness interestingly according to this study pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33041035/ C15 is lower in concentration in colostrum than regular milk. But I guess a colostrum supplement is less calories than milk, so could take more..
What about the problem that most food sources of C15 also contain large amounts of even chain fatty acids that are bad for you and may offset the intake of C15?
@@addictivewellness This is not so much my perspective, as my impression, from what I've seen from other sources; basically, that odd-chain fatty acids are generally beneficial and even-chain fatty acids the source of most of the negative effects of saturated fats. On the other hand, everything I've read about EPA Omega-3 (c20) is positive, ergo my question--I was hoping someone would respond with supported clarification. On rereading it, I could have worded the question better.
No worries! Sometimes it can be tricky to try to have a normal, nuanced, natural conversation in the comments 😄 To clarify one thing from your last comment, C20 isn't EPA, but rather the Omega 6 arachidonic acid.

Thank you this was a very great informative video i really had a hunch this going to be the case with those supplements! Also i think i get C15 from butter but i’m not sure that is truly the case..
I'm glad you found it helpful! Grass fed butter does indeed contain C15. As best I can find, it seems to be somehwere between 0.6%-1% of the fatty acid content. So if we take the middle of that at 0.8%, that means 1 tablespoon of butter has about 112mg of C15. By comparison, taking it as a supplement would give you 100mg per capsule 🤷🏻♂️
Wow, it’s crazy but the first time i saw a ad for that stuff i thought you prolly just capsuled up some powdered butter lol and gave it a scientific name like dr’s do D. and D. and exspect all the Laymen which is what we are until we learn that we can learn lol and so knowing these things is the key to freedom so we don’t live imprisoned behind the medias and etc’s lies…something’s know cannot be said but i know you catch my wordage..
The supplement is synthetic. I belive they extend C14:0 with one carbon to C15:0. Since it's a saturated fatty acid, it's very stable and it shouldn't really be any problem. But yes, it's syntetic!
The foods you mention as containing C15 may be good in one sense however take for example isn't there a lot of trans fats that are not supposed to be good for you. What is good fo me may also be bad for me.
Hi Kenneth! Which of the foods that I mentioned are you concerned about having too much trans fat? Trans fat levels in meat and dairy are extremely low.
@@Kennethswoodcarvings you’d be looking at about 1 gram per 3 ounces. To my knowledge, there have been no studies done to show that a naturally occurring fat like this would have the same impact as artificially manufactured industrial trans fats

@@Kennethswoodcarvings In terms of industrial animal agriculture, it's definitely a shame on all levels! But if you have the ability and budget to get grass-fed meat from a regenerative farm, you may get a bit of that good old-fashioned feeling! 😄

Hi Trish, I actually did mention dairy. At 4:13 I mentioned the amount of C15 in a piece of pizza and said "probably coming primarily from the cheese on there" 😊 I also mentioned a hamburger and salmon as soucres... I'm not vegan and am definitely not limiting my recommendations here to vegan sources. Also, this was by no means meant to be an exhaustive list of all food sources of C15. Just a selection of examples to show that it's not uncommon.

Thank you for this. So many prime think just eating dairy is enough. But this isn't always the case. Your explanation explains this perfectly.
Thank you so much
Thanks for saving me money. Salmon, potatoes and hard cheese.
My pleasure! That sounds like a pretty delicious meal to me!
The problem with getting C15 from food sources, such as butter, is that you end up consuming inflammatory fatty acids like C18 as well. I am still searching for a good food source where C15 is much more dominant.
Thank you! I was getting their ads and researching it only to find their sponsored studies. I am now sure I get enough currently. And I’m going to try the durian fruit … a couple times :)
@laurafrances1286
I am not a fan of that fruit, so I wish you well during that endeavor.
Just a passing comment - bye.
No , dairy does not contain much.. read the long comment by the dairy scientist just above your comment!
Only certain cows, not used by the dairy farmers..........
I tried Durian in Thailand - love at first bite! The most interesting and nourishing thing I have ever eaten
That's so awesome you got to experience it in the "motherland" of durian!! What an unusual, spectacular and deliciously fulfilling treat, right!?
It’s fantastic! Loved it from the first bite! Absolutely great!
As a biomedical engineer in R&D I prefer reference papers cited for those C15 sources. For most foods you mentioned I have not yet found a paper with their C15 contents. Please cite.
The Cleveland Clinic has a good article on this topic, which supports the conclusions of this article.
I am using ghee and it is working... my hair stopped falling out and it has only been a week there was no hair in the little hair catcher in the tub tonight.... that hasn't happened to me since I was under 20 and my shoulder has stopped hurting
I heard you can get it from raw butter and 1 tablespoons of butter has 200 MG of C15
Also has c16 and c18 which are inflammatory. Best to take the supplement.
Thanks for the video. Durian is something people either hate it or love it. My mom & my wife absolutely love it while I just can't stand it. It's extremely nutritious, though. That's why it's called king of fruits.
Yes, it has to be one of most polarizing fruits, that's for sure! 😄
It's good to know that this fatty acid is easily available in foods but it's also good to be able to get a supplemental version of it.
Just as omega3 and omega6, maintaining a special ratios of c15/c16 is important. I am not sure, but maybe the food sources of C15 has a high Amount of C16. Otherwise the natives who eat durian fruit a lot, should be outstandingly much healthier than us.
The liver makes plenty of C16. C15 was claimed to be essential for cell membranes fluidity. Scientists should really analyze cell membranes fatty acids composition to shine a light on the whole issue.
Most durian lover are healthy but not because of C15, People who love durian will hate alcohal and vice versa, I dont know why but from my observation, I am from southeast asia. By the way duriean is also dense in sugar.
Thanks so much! I 100% agree with your assessment. Really appreciate the tip about food sources. Do you know of any readily accessible table of c15 concentrations in food?
Please don’t say it’s not necessary. Say it might not be IF you can eat those foods. I’m reactive to dairy (the better the quality, the more reactive), allergic to beef and lamb, can’t eat nightshades, so many of those are OUT. I also eat very little. So taking it as a supplement is a good way to ensure I get what I need. And it has made an obvious difference in my health over 6 months.
@@BecomingShalomwhat did you do to be able to eat anything now?
What the maker of C15 says is that the C15 in meat, dairy etc comes with C16 and other even numbered fatty acid which are inflammatory. Their C15 is from vegan source and they tinkered with it to create C15. I believe in the importance of C15. I also believe you should get it from real food. Butter, grass fed beef etc. Thanks for the durian tip. Will go hunting for some at the Asian store.
Thanks for your comment! I think it's easy and convenient for them to look at C16 in isolation and purely through the lens of inflammation rather than taking a more holistic view. Palmitic acid (C16), while often discussed for its potential negative health impacts when consumed in excess, also has some physiological roles and benefits:
Energy Source: Palmitic acid is a major source of energy. It is stored in adipose tissue and can be mobilized to meet energy needs when necessary.
Cell Membrane Structure: Palmitic acid is a component of phospholipids, which are essential for maintaining cell membrane integrity and fluidity.
Signal Transduction: Palmitic acid is involved in the post-translational modification of proteins, such as palmitoylation, which affects protein localization and function, impacting various signaling pathways.
Lung Function: Palmitic acid is a key component of lung surfactant, which reduces surface tension in the lungs and is crucial for proper lung function and respiration.
Immune Function: Palmitic acid is involved in the activation of certain immune cells and can play a role in the body’s defense mechanisms.
Don't you find it odd that the milk animal produce for their young would be inflamatory?
Nature would more likely give it a good balance of fatty acids, including C15:0.
Even those organizations which without proof claimed that saturated fatty were unhealthy has naw withrawn that claim. But, of course, the echo of that mistaken claim is still frequently repeated. Now by the sellers of a new expensive supplement, who seems not to like it that we can get it from natural sources.
Pecorino Cheese has as high amounts of C 15 as Durian fruit. So I guess eating Pecorino cheese in small servings each day would be enogh to keep the C 15 suppliments away which by the way are very expensive.
Wow did not know durian have c15 essential fatty acid. Thanks
Ghee; particularly cultured ghee.
How did you get that info on durian? 100 gms contains only 2 mg of c15. Thats low
No, I don't agree. This video couldn't be more deceiving and misleading. Isn't that the case with every supplement we take? We could just eat better and intentionally right? I do all kinds of natural, healthy, choices, supplements, medicine and therapies and nothing I've done or taken has come close to this amazing product. I can attest to the amazing benefits this C15-o has. The first day, I was able to sleep without waking up and what is off the hook for me is that I woke up refreshed, awaken, with energy and didn't struggle like every morning prior. I already do the diet thing to increase nutrition density and everything this guy mentions in this video. I eat clean, minimal to none processed food, mild exercise due to continuing my recovery. So when I took this I was astonished at what it did for me, like no other supplement has. I can finally sleep after two years of insomnia. So please, who ever is struggling with brain fog, fatigue, low energy, insomnia, low energy -specially in the morning and you struggle to get out of bed, please give this a try. You will not regret it. I'm so disappointed at this video, someone who hasn't even tried this product is giving a review based on just the label and simplifying the science to
" oh we could just eat better or eat certain foods to get the same benefit from this bottle" So misleading! This product could potentially help so many people.
This video coulnt be less decieving if it tried. 😂 Unbelievable that your comment has 5 likes.
First off, what you don't get right off the bat is the difference between c15 and other supplements is that it's so easy to get the serving size of c15 in one meal. Many supplements thats not possible.
THATS THE DIFFERENCE 😂 As he explicitly explains.
Secondly, the supplement that you say worked the miracle for you has less c15 in it than a typical hamburger does.
Hmmm.....
One dose of a fatty acid is not going to change your life in one day. You are either a shill for the company or someone who is easily brainwashed by commercials
Thanks for your testimonial. This does seem worth a try, instead of dismissing without trying it.
I don't think misleading is the right word here 🤔
This stuff works. Been on it for a week and I can finally sleep. Don't knock it till you try it buddy. Durian is hard to get regularly. Also dairy comes with too much sat fat, also cancer causing meat...not good.
You saved me a ton of money.
Thanks so much for this - just would like to know your qualifications and sources of your information - to build trust.
Actually, most of the research was funded by the US Navy. The two people that did this research were commissioned to determine why the dolphins being used by the Navy had such a short like span. This research pointed to the reduction of C15 in their diet as the problem resulting in the reduction of the dolphins life span. This research was later expanding through different funding to determine if the same is true for humans.
Durian rocks. I live in Thailand, every season we order 3-4 organic Durian every couple weeks. Look forward to durian season every year.
And yup, my first try was less than terrible 😳
But second time i was hooked.
Also highly depends on the Type of durian, the temperature of the fruit at the time of eating and ripeness. The first time the odds were stacked. 😊
I LOVED reading this! Especially your analysis of the different factors for optimal enjoyment! What do you find to be the optimal temperature?
@@addictivewellness just chilled. Not too cold.
First time it was sold from st vendor on a real hot day and was a bit over ripe and mushy. No crispness to the outer layer. Was like eating sweet onion custard 😄
Just because a food contains a certain nutrient doesn't mean it's a good source of that nutrient as it may not be but as bioavailable or the food may also contain other undesirable substances.
If you want to try durian check out any Asian grocery. It’s normally kept in the freezer section.
That was fascinating. No one has ever talked about C15 in food! I've been taking the supplement which is very expensive, but I can get it in a cup of potatoes? !!!! wow Btw, you have a very friendly voice!
Thank you so much for your kindness! I'm really glad you found the video helpful!
THX GOOD TO KNOW WE CAN GET C15 SO EASILY
What about those of us that can't tolerate dairy, have no access to durian, and do not eat meat? Any other plant- based sources to get these same levels? My research (from various, reputable sources) shows very low levels in potatoes, and most other veggies and fruits. Even with eating 5+ servings of veggies, 2+ of whole grains, 2+ of legumes each day, I'll barely get to 50mg.
I eat a lot of cheese. Is there any particular cheese that has a higher content of C15, of maybe there are some cheeses that have very low amounts of C15? It would be nice to have a list of good cheeses with lots of C15.
Grass fed sheep cheese
Agreed, as long as bovine products come from grass fed animals.
Lol thanks for saving me tons of money bc I was getting a lot of their ads and thinking about trying it if it wasn’t easy to get in regular food. I eat cheese, dairy, etc a lot so I don’t need to buy this. Also good pointing out most of the studies were funded by the company: conflict of interest red flag
Glad I could help! haha that's great that you are getting plenty of it from dietary sources already. I would say that when studies are funded by the company it's not necessarily always bad-...often with early stage things like this, nobody will fund a study unless they have a way to make the money back, as running such a study is very expensive. But it's definitely not ideal, especially when it's relatively easy to get this dietarily 😊🙌🏼
Thanks, goat and sheep cheeses , Parmesan cheese,❤❤
Thanks so much for saving me a fortune ❤
There is one issue that comes to mind. The amount of a nutrient is often less relevant than it's bioavailability.
How much of various forms and sources of a nutrient are absorbed, metabolized, and utilized by the body? Some nutrients compete for absorption with other nutrients, are absorbed better with food or alone, need to be in a specific ratio, etc.
In the original study on dolphins, the healthier older individuals had higher levels of C15. Is that because they were somehow eating more of it? Or were they absorbing more of it for some as yet undetermined reason?
Well described.
Thank you sir! I really appreciate that!
Durian fruit has 56.6 net grams of carbs😮. I think I'll be sticking with the supplement, so I can remain in ketosis.
About 30 g (one Oz) of butter gives the 200 mg of C15:0 the researchers behind the supplement claim is optimal.
Butter has 753 mg of C15:0 per 100 g.
Or 265 g of natural Greek of Turkish yoghourt (with 10 % fat) if you don't eat butter.
I think you can stay in keto!
@@larsnystrom6698 I have three table spoons of grassfed ghee per day, so I guess I'm good👍🏾.
Dolphins in Florida vs Calif ate pinfish & mullet were healthier and lived longer.
Is there organic powder of the Durian fruit available?
Unfortunately ordered it yesterday - today discovered the major source is butter…anyway, will take the supplement (will double the dose) for 45 days and see the difference
If you cannot do butter or are lactose intolerant then just use Ghee instead. You can even make your own Ghee from butter.
Grass fed is an important consideration as I understand. I hope food producers wake up and include C15 amounts in their labeling, starting with the grass fed animsl producers.
c15 is good vs c16 in most of the foods rich in sfa they come in combination
I think butter too is a good source? It's certainly cheaper to have the butter as the supplements are really quite expensive.
All you really need to do is eat meat. Preferably grass fed, pasture raised ruminant animals and their milk and fat. It's the most bio available food source for human mammals.
Thomas Delauer just interviewed Stephanie on his YT channel. I think she mentioned insulin as a good vegan fiber source of C15. It is her company that sells the supplements. It’s a very interesting conversation.
Inulin- stupid auto correct. !!
I 💛 durian
Thank you very much for the information. I was wondering about this and now I know the truth.
Thanks for the great info.
Darn! I already ordered the supplement! From this video, I figure that I get plenty from diet!
Full fat plain Greek yogurt, beef, salmon
I have has serious health problems for decades. I'm allergic to seafood and dairy. I've just started the supplement and have had some positive results. They're could be 30% of the population who cannot digest dairy. I get really annoyed when people say just get it from such and such. Many of us CAN'T!
Hey Keith, I'm glad to hear you're feeling a bit better! How do you do with ghee that has all the dairy protein removed? And what about some of the other sources of C15 that aren't dairy or seafood, like grass-fed beef or pasture-raised poultry?
@@addictivewellness I'm 73 and have lost most of my teeth. My food allergies are probably related to a serious health issue at 17 when I nearly died. My diet now is mostly supplements and salad soups . I read the paper on the research. So it made sense to me. I have to be extremely careful with what I eat. My allergies are that serious.
Yes, it's great if you are regularly eating foods that have it, but amount Varys . Why not supplement on a measured amount regularly ?
Little butter in the island of Borneo,thanks we have durian..tq for the useful information.
@@stanleyjamingejoy1709 am I remembering correctly that you also have red durian there?
Thanks informative.
We eat Cheese, Meat, Steak and Butter, Potatoes and All things Whole Foods
265 g of Greek of Turkish yoghourt (with 10 % fat) gives the optimal dose of C15:0 of 200 mg.
Calculated from that butter has 753 mg /100 g of C15:0.
The supplement is really expensive!
Does the full fat Greek yogurt have to be from raw unpasteurized milk?
When you get Fatty acid c15 from food, which is an odd chain fatty acid...and odd chain fatty acids are known to promot longevity and fight inflamation, you also get the even chain fatty acids that do the opposite. Furthermore, C-15 is generally found in small amounts than the other, not so helpful fatty acids. So unless you can identify food that is high in C-15 and other beneficial odd chain fatty acids, that is low in the potentially harmful fatty acids...it would seem that the C-15 supplement is the way to go. You video does not provide enough information to back your opinion. It would be great if you could follow up with a video that breaks down the fatty acid content in the foods you're suggesting so we can see if that really is a reasonable way to go.
I respectfully would not agree with a generalization that all even chain fatty acids are harmful. As a few examples:
Caprylic Acid (C8):
Energy Source: Caprylic acid is readily absorbed and metabolized by the body, providing a quick and sustained energy boost.
Weight Management: It promotes satiety and fat burning, aiding in weight management by controlling appetite and increasing calorie expenditure.
Antimicrobial Properties: Caprylic acid exhibits antimicrobial properties, helping to combat harmful bacteria, fungi, and viruses in the body.
Brain Health: It crosses the blood-brain barrier, serving as an efficient energy source for the brain and enhancing cognitive function.
Capric Acid (C10):
Energy Source: Similar to caprylic acid, capric acid provides a readily available source of energy and supports physical performance and endurance.
Weight Management: It promotes satiety and fat burning, aiding in weight management efforts by controlling appetite and increasing calorie expenditure.
Antimicrobial Properties: Capric acid possesses antimicrobial properties, contributing to a healthy balance of gut microflora and supporting immune function.
Brain Health: Like caprylic acid, capric acid crosses the blood-brain barrier and supports cognitive function and overall brain health.
@@addictivewellness you may be right about those but it doesn't change the fact that there are other potentially unwanted fatty acids present and that all we really are looking add is the beneficial C15 fatty acid. So an analysis of what's in those suggested foods is necessary to make an informed decision.
I looked up the fatty acid profile of durian fruit. There is no c15:0 in that fruit. please point me to the profile where you saw c15:0 I Durian fruit. THANKS
If you want results you don’t want the c16 and c18 that cause inflammation just to get c15. Cheese and beef have those other fatty acids. If vegan this is by far the best way to get fatty acids. Not that I’m vegan.
I had my c:15 level checked through blood test. Normal level.
What lab tested you?
The supplement is very interesting for vegans since it is vegan-friendly.
Vegans claim they are healthier than others, and they might be,... with a few supplements.
Such as B12, omega-3, and now C15:0.
Veganism is such a modern thing. We might have more deficiencies to find out about it.
Dont forget you can find it in the food supply, but our food supply is garbage in America . But this might be more beneficial for vegans.
And for people with already compromised cell wall integrity
You’re absolutely right, vegans need to eat more with the true understanding of what they’re eating and what they’re not getting from the foods that they are eating.
Thanks for the education. I wish I had watched your video before I ordered a bottle of Fatty15 at a cost of $101.00.
Is C-15 considered a long-chain fatty acid or is it just a long medium-chain fatty acid?
Only thing is that C15 is now deficient in many people because once milk products are pasteurized, they lose C15 and we don't get the right amounts to maintain healthy cells.
Ghee and butter?
Where do you get durian fruit??
Grass fed butter
Can we find the right cheese in our grocery store? Can you recommend any?
SHEEP CHEESE. and perhaps goat milk and goat cheese.
Unfortunately cheese ect which has C15 is also the source of inflammatory fats. C15 from salmon is unlikely to be associated with inflammatory fats.
Drinking lots of full fat milk again has C15 but its associated with other inflammatory fats
Thanks for this info! I’m just learning about it… possibly a good idea to supplement if ur diet is very low in fat?
My 100% carnivore diet has me covered.
Did you watch this before you released it. It’s one big maybe. Durian? Really
Durian is absolutely disgusting!!! Maybe it tastes better if fresh in Thailand but you can only get it imported here and it’s like eating something rotten. My entire family tried it and our mouths instantly rejected it. Our brains told us it was wrong and shouldn’t be pot in the body. I know the company you’re talking about and according to them, you can’t get what you need from a regular diet especially if you’re plant based. It’s in dairy like butter but then you’re putting bad things into the body and there’s a breaking down process needed that in the end leaves you with very little of the 15.
Hi, thanks for your comment! I'm sorry to hear you had such a rough durian experience. Perhaps you didn't get a good one or perhaps it's just not to your liking, which is okay too! Not everyone has to love a certain food for others to be able to enjoy it! I wouldn't agree with consumption of grass-fed organic butter being "putting bad things" into the body though. So have you been supplementing with C15? How has it been going for you?
I been eating durain since I was a kid... my momlove it and my father hate it... I love it and I now live in Bangkok and it's in season now... don't eat it with alcohol and there is nothing wrong eating it...
Eat Butter, NOT Country Crock
to get your daily dose.
Thankyou for your video. I kinda had the same response as you in regards to the c15 supplement. Follow the money and you might see where this goes. I , too, would hope that c15 is the "miracle pill" but why pay more than $100 for one bottle of c15 when you can get c15 via a balanced diet?
Thanks Bob! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and felt the same way!
Taking a pure C15 supplement will have a drug like effect because it has direct access to the cells without having to be absorbed variously from foods and digestive systems. You cannot get the same effect from foods. It is comparable to taking rapamycin and metformin without the drug sife effects. All the trials are done with the pure form where consistency is important.
First: if you are talking about just dairy--good luck with that. Nowadays much of it is nonfat and from what I read, the process of removing the fat from the milk takes out precisely what is needed, i.e., C-15. Full fat kefir that is grass fed and raw is very hard to find and when I found it at a health food store that happens to carry it this kind of kefir it was over seven dollars a quart, which is about twice as much as the low fat variety, readily available. Second: for those of us who are diabetic, I would surmise that we need far more C-15 than this tiny amount you are suggesting to jump start a recovery from diabetes. (Allopathy has NO answer for diabetes beyond taking drugs forever. Don’t even go there.) Third: I never heard of this fruit you are talking about. And this too, begs the question: what good is there to suggest a fruit that is not readily available and if we do happen to find it, it could be just like the raw milk, grass fed full fat kefir, that is, it cost twice as much as what is commonly available and what is affordable. Nowadays food is costly so price is always a consideration. In the final analysis supplementation might be the best alternative for a diabetic, but the price of what I saw was prohibitive at $100 dollars a bottle. Food science needs to be revamped to be less profit driven and unbiased.
Eat alot of pizza to live longer, great health tip! Lol
I want to avoid eating too much beef and dairy. Where do I get Durian in an amount that is not too much for one person?
Sorry if this sounds stupid, but is this similar to say colostrum?
Hey Bill! Not a stupid question at all! There is indeed some C15 in colostrum. But this is only one of many beneficial compounds in colostrum (immunoglobulins, immune transfer factors, growth factors, lactoferrin, etc.)
@@addictivewellness would it be safe to assume then that colostrum would be the logical choice between the two? I used to take colostrum all the time, years ago, but like anything, just stopped.
@@therealfronzilla Yes, that's my feeling as well!
@@addictivewellness interestingly according to this study pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33041035/
C15 is lower in concentration in colostrum than regular milk. But I guess a colostrum supplement is less calories than milk, so could take more..
@@therealfronzilla .
I just learned about C15. I'm trying to find out how to get it into my system. And the amount of C15 in what foods?
908 mg C15 in 100grams of butter. Gras fed and organic probably I assume. 25g of organic butter a day .. 227mg C15, cheaper than any supplement
What about the problem that most food sources of C15 also contain large amounts of even chain fatty acids that are bad for you and may offset the intake of C15?
Your perspective is that even chain fatty acids like C8 and C10 are bad for you?
@@addictivewellness This is not so much my perspective, as my impression, from what I've seen from other sources; basically, that odd-chain fatty acids are generally beneficial and even-chain fatty acids the source of most of the negative effects of saturated fats. On the other hand, everything I've read about EPA Omega-3 (c20) is positive, ergo my question--I was hoping someone would respond with supported clarification. On rereading it, I could have worded the question better.
No worries! Sometimes it can be tricky to try to have a normal, nuanced, natural conversation in the comments 😄 To clarify one thing from your last comment, C20 isn't EPA, but rather the Omega 6 arachidonic acid. I also respectfully would not agree with a generalization that all even chain fatty acids are harmful. As a few examples:
Caprylic Acid (C8):

@@addictivewellness C16.
Thank you this was a very great informative video i really had a hunch this going to be the case with those supplements! Also i think i get C15 from butter but i’m not sure that is truly the case..
I'm glad you found it helpful! Grass fed butter does indeed contain C15. As best I can find, it seems to be somehwere between 0.6%-1% of the fatty acid content. So if we take the middle of that at 0.8%, that means 1 tablespoon of butter has about 112mg of C15. By comparison, taking it as a supplement would give you 100mg per capsule 🤷🏻♂️
Wow, it’s crazy but the first time i saw a ad for that stuff i thought you prolly just capsuled up some powdered butter lol and gave it a scientific name like dr’s do D. and D. and exspect all the Laymen which is what we are until we learn that we can learn lol and so knowing these things is the key to freedom so we don’t live imprisoned behind the medias and etc’s lies…something’s know cannot be said but i know you catch my wordage..
@@rawreal6147 The problem with butter is that it contains alot of C16 which is highly inflammatory.
@@Ann_Expert It is inflammatory only if one has the APOE4 gene.
So it’s synthetic!?
The supplement is synthetic. I belive they extend C14:0 with one carbon to C15:0.
Since it's a saturated fatty acid, it's very stable and it shouldn't really be any problem.
But yes, it's syntetic!
The foods you mention as containing C15 may be good in one sense however take for example isn't there a lot of trans fats that are not supposed to be good for you. What is good fo me may also be bad for me.
Hi Kenneth! Which of the foods that I mentioned are you concerned about having too much trans fat? Trans fat levels in meat and dairy are extremely low.
The beef @@addictivewellness
@@Kennethswoodcarvings you’d be looking at about 1 gram per 3 ounces. To my knowledge, there have been no studies done to show that a naturally occurring fat like this would have the same impact as artificially manufactured industrial trans fats

durian is seasonal fruit, u can't eat it everyday
Yes, I have heard of it, but I'm wondering why you didn't mention dairy - which, from what I understand, is its richest food source. Is this a Vegan channel?
Hi Trish, I actually did mention dairy. At 4:13 I mentioned the amount of C15 in a piece of pizza and said "probably coming primarily from the cheese on there" 😊 I also mentioned a hamburger and salmon as soucres... I'm not vegan and am definitely not limiting my recommendations here to vegan sources. Also, this was by no means meant to be an exhaustive list of all food sources of C15. Just a selection of examples to show that it's not uncommon.
Is this the same pentadecanoic acid that's in my Jarrow formulas vitamin b complex?
Are you perhaps mixing it up with Pantothenic Acid (b5)?
Oh yes silly mistake.
Thank You, Aloha. Beef Liver..
Where do I buy C15 ?
Do a search for ‘fatty 15’
Aren’t you suppose to have a certain cheese? And it must be grass fed!!!

No. It replaces any omegas like you get in a Fish Oil supplement. Fatty15 is proven superior to any omega supplements.
