So probably not the groups that you're most excited about. Dairy fat, you know, by far is our primary source.

Depending upon what the cows are eating.

Exactly, exactly. And so C-15, you know, for a long time has actually been used as a biomarker of how much dairy fat people ate. They didn't know that it had any meaning. So it was used as a reliable marker of how much. So that's... how much dairy fat, and again, dependent upon what that animal is eating, really drives our C15 levels.

It's a big reason why the Navy funded, again, our development of the C15 supplement, because it's a pure prefatty acid supplement that's bioavailable. Just importantly, it's vegan, and it is not having to compete with all of these pro-inflammatory fatty acids.

That's right, yeah, yeah. Otherwise, we would have just... Well, it's interesting.

Yeah, the dairy studies are super messy. And so there are absolutely studies showing this benefit. There was a recent study that looked at this to say, hey, why do some studies show that people who eat more dairy have a lower risk of a given disease and other dairy studies don't show it?

And so what they were able to narrow down to and they concluded was that C15, higher levels of C15 were one of the main predictors of having a benefit. Higher levels of C18 was a predictor of having it being harmful.

That's right. And that's not going to be the simplistic answer. But I think the more we can understand how to maximize C15 and maybe having a ratio, like we have omega-6 to omega-3 ratios, maybe it's an even chain saturated fats, which are these pro-inflammatory fats to C15.
