A Fatty Acid
for the Long Game.

Pentadecanoic Acid · CoQ10 · Astaxanthin

C15:0 — pentadecanoic acid — is a saturated fatty acid that has attracted growing attention in longevity research. Paired with CoQ10 and astaxanthin from algae, with liposomal delivery, this formula brings three distinct nutritional perspectives into one daily formula.

A fatty acid formula built for those thinking about the long view.

Longevity-focused nutrition continues to expand. Alongside the well-established foundations of daily nutrition, certain lesser-known compounds have entered the conversation — including specific fatty acids whose role in healthy aging has become a subject of growing interest.

Codeage Liposomal C15:0+ brings three ingredients together — pentadecanoic acid (C15:0), CoQ10, and astaxanthin from algae — with liposomal delivery. A considered approach to daily fatty acid nutrition for those invested in healthy aging.

The Formula's Ingredients

Three ingredients. One longevity rationale.

Each ingredient in this formula represents a distinct dimension of cellular nutrition research. The formula contains a single star ingredient — pentadecanoic acid at 150 mg — alongside two precision companions.

01

Star Ingredient · Saturated Fatty Acid

Pentadecanoic Acid — C15:0

Pentadecanoic acid — abbreviated C15:0 — is an odd-chain saturated fatty acid found in certain dairy fats and marine organisms. Unlike even-chain saturated fatty acids, C15:0 has attracted a distinct body of research interest, particularly in the context of healthy aging and cellular membrane composition. Its behavior at the cellular level is an active area of nutritional exploration. This formula delivers 150 mg of C15:0.

02

Bioenergetics · Coenzyme

CoQ10 — Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble compound that has been the subject of extensive longevity-adjacent nutritional research. Its longstanding presence in daily wellness discussions — particularly in the context of cellular energy and aging — has made it one of the more recognized compounds in this category. CoQ10's affinity for lipid-rich environments also makes it a fitting companion for a fatty acid formula with liposomal delivery.

03

Marine Antioxidant · Algae-Derived

Astaxanthin — from Haematococcus pluvialis

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid pigment sourced here from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae — the same organism that gives flamingos and certain fish their characteristic coloring. Among carotenoids, astaxanthin has attracted particular research interest for its antioxidant properties. Its inclusion in a longevity-focused formula reflects the breadth of published discussion around antioxidants and healthy aging.

Formula Architecture

Four layers within one capsule.

The formula is organized across four distinct layers — three nutritional and one delivery — each contributing something different to the overall architecture.

Layer 01 Pentadecanoic Acid (C15:0) · 150 mg · Odd-Chain Saturated Fatty Acid Star Ingredient
Layer 02 CoQ10 · Coenzyme Q10 · Mitochondrial Support Compound Bioenergetics
Layer 03 Astaxanthin · Haematococcus pluvialis · Marine Carotenoid Antioxidant Layer
Layer 04 Liposomal Delivery · Non-GMO Sunflower Lecithin · Phospholipid Matrix Delivery System

The Formula's Design Logic

Why these three. Why together.

The pairing of C15:0 with CoQ10 and astaxanthin is not incidental. Each ingredient brings a different dimension to the overall formula — and their combination reflects a thoughtful perspective on what a daily fatty acid supplement oriented toward healthy aging can offer.

01

Formulation Rationale

A fatty acid with a longevity frame.

C15:0 represents a newer direction in longevity-focused nutrition. Its emergence in nutritional discussions — particularly around healthy aging — reflects a broader shift in how fatty acids are being considered within the longevity conversation. This formula brings C15:0 into that context alongside two well-recognized companions.

02

Delivery Consideration

Fat-soluble ingredients and liposomal delivery.

Pentadecanoic acid, CoQ10, and astaxanthin share a common characteristic: they are all fat-soluble compounds. Liposomal delivery — using phospholipids from non-GMO sunflower lecithin — creates a lipid-based environment that is well-suited to this category of ingredients, making the delivery approach a considered extension of the formula's overall design.

03

Three Perspectives

Fatty acid. Coenzyme. Carotenoid.

The three ingredients in this formula each represent a different category of nutritional research interest: an emerging odd-chain fatty acid, a widely studied coenzyme with a long history in wellness discussions, and a marine-derived carotenoid that has attracted growing attention in longevity-adjacent conversations. Together, they form a formula with breadth.

04

Vegan Sourcing

Astaxanthin from algae, not animal sources.

Astaxanthin is most commonly associated with salmon and krill — but this formula sources it from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae, which is where marine organisms obtain it in the first place. The result is a vegan-compatible astaxanthin source without compromise on the carotenoid itself.

On the Research

What the literature has explored.

Two ingredients in this formula have been the subject of published nutritional research. These references are shared here as educational context.

Published Research Reference · Pentadecanoic Acid

"Research has examined the role of odd-chain saturated fatty acids, including C15:0, in relation to metabolic health markers and cellular aging. Growing interest in pentadecanoic acid within healthy aging discussions has led investigators to explore its distinct metabolic behavior compared to even-chain saturated fatty acids."

Published Research Reference · CoQ10 & Cellular Bioenergetics

"Coenzyme Q10 has been extensively studied in the context of mitochondrial function and aging. Research has explored how CoQ10 levels in tissues relate to age-related changes in cellular energy production — and whether supplemental CoQ10 influences these parameters in human and animal models."
