You certainly can. However, since as many as 1 out of 2 fish oil supplement bottles may be rancid and 1 in 10 bottles may contain less omega-3s than stated on the bottle, make sure you are getting the highest quality omega supplements you can find. Additionally, to meet all of your essential fatty acid needs, you will want to add fatty15 (a pure and essential C15:0 supplement) to your daily routine.

Absolutely. Both C15:0 (the only ingredient in fatty15) and omega-3s are considered essential fatty acids, which can be taken together as part of your daily essential fatty acid supplement routine.

It depends. First, it is important to note that C15:0 and omega-3s are two different kinds of essential fatty acids. Specifically, C15:0 is a healthy saturated fatty acid, while omega-3s are polyunsaturated fatty acids. Both have been determined to be essential (aka your body requires certain amounts of these nutrients to stay healthy), so you should be sure to get adequate levels of both C15:0 and omega-3s. That said, in our peer-reviewed study, we found that pure C15:0 (fatty15) had all of the cell-repairing benefits of the leading pure omega-3 (EPA). Further, C15:0 had an additional 26 clinically-relevant benefits. So, if you are taking omega-3s for these cell-based benefits, this study supports that fatty15 is better, broader and safer (learn more about this study here).

Yes. There are many reasons that people don’t take omega-3 (aka fish oil) supplements. Fish oil supplements require multiple, large pills and daily doses, cause fishy burps and gastric upset, have concerns about quality and rancidity, are typically from squeezed fish, and have mixed scientific findings, with most promising clinical trials limited to pure, pharmaceutical-grade omega-3 (EPA).

The most recent studies support that fatty15 provides better, broader and safer cellular repairing benefits compared to omega-3 (EPA), with just 1 tiny capsule a day*. Additionally fatty is an award-winning C15:0 powder ingredient that is 99% pure, vegan-friendly and stable - in the bottle and your body, without the fishy smell or taste. In addition to the longer term benefits, 2 out of 3 fatty15 customers report feeling benefits within 6 weeks.

While C15:0 is available in trace levels in food, especially whole fat dairy products, there are a few reasons why the pure C15:0 ingredient in fatty15 (FA15) can be even better for your health.

Food-based C15:0 is tied up in complex lipids called triacylglycerides, which we cannot absorb. Because of this, digestive enzymes are needed to break C15:0 down into free fatty acids, which can then be absorbed. In comparison, fatty15 provides ready-to-absorb free fatty acid C15:0.

Foods with healthy C15:0 also contain bad saturated fats. While dairy fat contains trace amounts of C15:0, these foods contain much higher levels of ‘bad’ even-chain saturated fats (like, C16:0), which come with increased calories and continue to be linked to increased risks of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Fatty15 was made to provide only the good C15:0 fat - and only 1 calorie.

Our most common food source of C15:0 is dairy fat, which comes from animals. In comparison, the pure and award-winning C15:0 ingredient in fatty15 is vegan–friendly and has no fillers and no additives.

In addition to all of the reasons above, only our pure C15:0 ingredient in fatty15 has been extensively studied for safety and efficacy, including a recent study demonstrating the many cellular benefits of fatty15.
