Stronger Cells, Stronger You

Fatty15 Test

Health starts at the cellular level. Fragile, damaged cells can accelerate aging and lead to chronic metabolic, liver, heart, and immune diseases. The Fatty15 Test evaluates key C15:0 levels, checks your cell membrane's strength, and identifies signs of damaged cells. Understanding your levels allows you to develop a plan to restore your cellular strength and slow cellular aging through diet or supplements.

If cell membranes are low in C15:0, they can become fragile, leading to the Cellular Fragility Syndrome. An estimated 1 in 3 people have a nutritional C15:0 deficiency, which can accelerate aging and negatively affect our long-term metabolic, heart, and liver health.

The Fatty15 Test measures your C15:0 levels, which allows you to fix nutritional C15:0 deficiencies, optimize your cellular strength, and slow cellular aging.

What's measured on the Fatty15 Test?

The Fatty15 Test assesses your levels of an essential fatty acid called C15:0.

C15:0, also known as pentadecanoic acid, is an essential fatty acid found primarily in whole fat dairy products, as well as some fish and plants. C15:0 works to restore and revitalize your long-term health at the cellular level by strengthening cells, maintaining your body's energy production, and regulating cellular signaling that balances your metabolism, immunity, mood and sleep.

As an essential fatty acid, our bodies need certain levels of C15:0 to stay healthy. Because our bodies don't make enough C15:0 on their own, we must routinely get adequate C15:0 from our diet to maintain healthy C15:0 levels.

Your Long-Term Protection Plan

If supporting your long-term health and wellness is important, start with supporting your cellular health. The balance of key fatty acids measured on the Fatty15 Test can determine if you're on the right track for healthy aging.
