C15, A-Fib and more: Ask Us Anything | Part 1

[@radicalveg00]

For every study pointing in one direction, there's another study pointing in the opposite direction. I wish you had referenced your source material for the claim that omega-3's don't oxidize in the body. That is a key question and if there is definitive evidence that oxidation is not an issue I would love to read the research.

67 years old - I used c15 for 3 months. seen improvement in prediabetes a1c 5.7 from 6,2, liver, sleep, better workout swimming can compete with people 15 years younger, improved muscle mass. Now I use 2 capsules a day .

[@kennettle]

that is exciting. I just took my first capsule today.

[@samsungcb]

@@kennettle My story - Begin with a try - one month supply. After 2 weeks one capsule a day I started to feel some effect. I increased to 2 capsules a day - effect was stronger, and ordered 1 year supply. Will continue with 2 and then go back to one per day and then a break to conclude

[@obsessedwithhealth]

Why do you take a break from it?

[@samsungcb]

@@obsessedwithhealth no break. continue with 1 a day

[@vincentpolaczuk4240]

Are you sure you didn’t make any other changes over that time. Improved diet, sleep, stress, more exercise?

[@ameliavernon415]

23:09 confusion about linoic acid danger vs natural healthy ala which some can convert to omega 3.

[@luckssj]

Can't wait for part 2!!

It's fun watching you guys. Hope to see more 30m videos.

The last question you did not answer. I wanted to hear how your molecular distillation reduces the contaminants in your product,but you talked around this question; why?

[@rossentownsend4936]

The one and only place to get that supplement charges a whole lot of money and made them suspect To my wallet.

[@johnford9455]

Is there any evidence that increasing Omega3 index in men results in higher testosterone levels? Over the last five years I have increased my Omega3 Index from 7.5% to 14%. Over the same time my testosterone levels have increased from 876 to 1173 ng/dl. I am currently 64 years old. This seems very unusual for a man of my age. Might be worth a study or at least a survey.

Thank you so much, Dr. Harris and Dr. Jackson, in answering my question about the DHA ratio for fertility clients! Appreciate your time😊.

[@Straycurrent]

It's irritating to hear the C15:0 marketers claim their product is better than omega-3s. That's a worse comparison than apples and oranges; more like comparing apples and car tires. The two FAs have different biological structure and function, and I strongly suspect our cells do not haphazardly substitute one for the other in any particular context. Thank you for your comments and characterization of the "noise" regarding C15:0.

Every wannabe ‘expert’ is jumping on the C15 bandwagon I guess to not appear behind the times. The only credible and detailed analysis of the available research evidence I have seen was by Physionic and his analysis poured a flood of cold water on there being good evidence to take C15 at all much less call it out as a total wonder substance. Someone has run an amazing hype campaign is my vew

After obtaining his PhD, Physio Nick became a teacher at a college ranked 194th in the nation and a KZbinr. 99.999% of PhDs have somewhat loftier goals after all that education, and you know the old adage: "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach". In additional to all that education, Nick also has an admirable entrepreneurial spirit. And for a mere $500/year he'll provide you solutions to your health problems (his words, not mine). In his review of C15:0, he knocks the supplement while promoting his own services (before putting in your credit card number and pressing SEND, just know that Nick Verhoeven is not a physician). The underlying issue here, is Physio Nick is not an expert in the field of lipids...well, perhaps a self-professed one. But hey, there's only one way to find out: take the $500 gamble.

"The only credible and detailed analysis of the available research evidence I have seen was by Physionic..." C15 did lower elevated liver enzymes in humans.

[@georgecav]

@ but the claims that C15 is some kind of special supplement were not substantiated by the evidence. You should work in marketing or politics if cherry picking information like that.

[@janalderton8644]

@@georgecav I actually have had problems with elevated ALT and AST liver enzymes, so I did pay attention to this particular significant effect.

[@georgecav]

@janalderton8644 hopefully you have exhausted looking for treatable pathology/medication/diet/lifestyle cause and if no cause was apparent have tried serious dietary / lifestyle modifications and theb there are a heap of supplements to try that have great evidence for benefit compared to the relatively scantily researched but fashionable c15
