compared to rapamycin metformin and acarbose, it was really close to... It was most close to rapamycin, which is exciting for the longevity consortium, right? They really leaned into that.
Without the side effects. I mean, this is a molecule that every mammal gets at birth. Yeah. So... And then when you look, you step back a little bit and you look at the activities, the things we care about. C15 is anti-inflammatory. It has an antioxidant. It has anti-cancer functions. It has antimicrobial. It even stops the growth of pathogenic bacteria and fungi.

And you look at that kind of wonky list of benefits and And that's what rapamycin does. So it just means that maybe we didn't have to go to Easter Island to discover rapamycin.

You can't get that easily. And no other mammal continues to eat dairy after the initial growth. So again, it's like, how do we leverage this molecule in our later years?

And they're not eating dairy, no ice cream, no cheese, anything like that. So there are plant-based forms, and there haven't been a lot of studies yet to understand what are the different C15 sources, because now that we understand C15's essentiality really well. expands to the animal kingdom, as far as we know it, of how different animals get it.

But it could be part of micro, like cows make it, right? So they eat grass and their rumen is able to, the bacteria, to produce it. So it may be a combination based upon the species, how well their microbes are able to make it from the food versus how much they get from their food, the food directly.

Yeah, and that's where it gets to, conveniently, a longevity molecule must have number, what are we on, four, clinically relevant benefits within months. If a molecule says, hey, we target these mechanisms of longevity, but you're not really going to see anything, but you'll live longer. That doesn't, for Nick and I, that just is not what we were looking for.
