C15:0 Shows Promise for Healthy Aging in Thai Context
A growing body of research highlights pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) as a potential contributor to healthier, longer lives. As anti-aging science gains traction globally, studies suggest C15:0 may boost cellular resilience and support healthy aging, with meaningful implications for Thailand’s aging population.
C15:0 is a saturated odd-chain fatty acid found in dairy fat and the meat of ruminant animals. While not widely known, accumulating evidence points to possible health benefits that could help reduce age-related risks. Early observations came from marine mammal studies, where higher C15:0 levels were linked to improvements in insulin, glucose, and cholesterol, prompting researchers to explore potential benefits for humans.
