The Dr. Hyman Show
The Unexpected Dolphin Discovery That May Hold the Key to Longevity | Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson

It'll get you to, it's like an additives kind of like how to order all the different tips and things we can do to maximize our C15. So that is one component. If none of the single things alone can do it, but additively,

So we got through the first two, which were the biggest. So in addition to targeting the longevity pathway, human pathway, regulating pathway, it also targets key hallmarks of aging. It needs to show, the third is it needs to show evidence of slowing the rate at which we age. And that's usually, we talk about Navy SEALs, right?

So we did, Nick, Shark and I, we did a study showing dolphins that, showing what hadn't yet been proven before, which is if you take individuals within the same population, that there will be some that age at different rates, despite having a relatively controlled environment. And it was crystal clear in the dolphins that we had fast aging and slow aging dolphins.

it ends up the aging rate biomarker for that was hemoglobin. And that had to do with, again, fragile cells in which they were increasingly losing red blood cell health over time. One measurement of that is called red blood cell distribution with, or RDW, which has become – see, there you go – a really popular way of – understanding aging rate is RDW. So we saw that crystal clear in the dolphins.

There have been now to date three other independent teams that have evaluated C15 as meeting the criteria of essentiality, all using different methods of gold standard methods of looking at pregnant mice and saying, hey, if you make the mom C15 deficient, Does her neonate show evidence of a nutritional deficiency? And the answer was yes.
