Yeah, Dr. Drew, great to be here. Yeah, so as we've been sharing the journey of making this initial discovery and Navy dolphins and finding this fatty acid called pentadecanoic acid or C15, which is an odd chain saturated fatty acid, the first essential fatty acid to be discovered in over 90 years. So a big discovery.

So a big discovery.

And when we talk about essentiality, Dr. Drew, just like what you're getting to, is that... We know that something is essential, right? Today, we know there are three essential fatty acids that are known. One is an omega-3, the second is an omega-6, and now C15.

That when you talk about something being essential, it means that we have to have certain levels of it in our body to stay healthy, which inherently means that if we don't have enough of it, right, then we're going to develop a deficiency syndrome like vitamin D deficiency in rickets and vitamin C deficiency in And I'm scurvy.

So this was a big discovery that was really 10 years in the making of not just our work, but teams around the world of being able to uncover the cellular fragility syndrome.

Sure, absolutely. So we can nerd out a little bit here to talk about the U.S. price.

That's right, March 25th.

That's right, March 25th.

I guess maybe there's a writer inside. Yeah, that's always been inside.

Great. Well, thank you. So, yeah, so we now know that when we talk about, you know, oxidative lipid peroxidation or oxidation of fats that let's talk about fats. So fats have different structures and we know that fats or fatty acids that have double bonds in them have are susceptible to being attacked by oxygen and

that creates what's called lipid peroxidation and sets up this whole- So hold on, I'm going to stop you.

Yeah, I love the term liability. And so when we have, the more that we have of fatty acids that have these double bonds in them in our cell membrane, right, which is our You're basically the casing of each and every one of our cells that helps protect them. The more double bonds we have in the fatty acids in our cell membrane, the more susceptible they are to being attacked by oxygen.
