There's this abnormal iron sitting inside the cell. They combine, and they cause this increase, like explosion of reactive oxygen species that take out the cell. So when that happens, our whole bodies get affected from our immunity to our metabolism. So it ends up that while this process, C15 deficiencies, can accelerate our aging and

everything that we feel with aging, we've now been able to work with the Navy and look at how can we optimize C15 to flip the story and how can we actually optimize our longevity through C15.

That's right. That's right. And so now we're seeing that as many as one in three people are C15 deficient. And then there are some that are extremely C15 deficient, right, which you'll see on your test. And it's exactly for that reason. We have taken C15 out of our diets globally. So our primary source, Mark, like you just shared, is dairy fat by far.

And we're not saying go back and eat a bunch of dairy fat. 1% of dairy fats is C15. Over 40% of the fatty acids in dairy fat are pro-inflammatory saturated fat. So we still need to work our way through that. But the Navy was interested enough to say,

hey can we find a way to use c15 and leverage it for longevity meanwhile let's also talk about the need to prevent these um you know deficiency syndrome that's showing up in our kids and that might just be by helping to get milk fat back into kids diets including mom's milk fat

It's a good question. So what the studies have learned is that C15 levels are driven by what the ruminant. So it could be a cow, goat, sheep.

What they eat. Yeah. So if you feed either cow, goat, or sheep grass, it has twice as much C15 in its dairy fat than fed corn. If you feed it high altitude grass, it has even higher C15. So we don't know when you go buy your dairy product.
