Pentadecanoic Acid

Meaning

Pentadecanoic Acid, also known as C15:0, is a saturated fatty acid with an odd number of carbon atoms that is found naturally in certain dairy products and ruminant fats. Emerging research suggests it functions as a beneficial essential fatty acid, offering pleiotropic health benefits beyond simple caloric contribution. Maintaining adequate circulating levels is being investigated as a biomarker for metabolic health and longevity.
