Thanks for sharing about C15. It seems very interesting that this is an "essential" fatty acid (as the human body doesn't produce enough of it, for example choline), and yet not much is discussed about it popularly. On reading more about it, it seems that it has some more benefits in a substitute way than the current very well-known essential fatty acid omega-3 [1] (caveat: this study is done by a C15 fatty acid supplement company). This could sort of also explain why both bovine milk and human milk don't contain as much of omega-3 fatty acids. Furthermore, given the apparent very low conversion efficiency of ALA omega-3 fatty acids to EPA and DHA fatty acids that it could also explain how lacto-vegetarians (no eggs (thus no dietary source of omega-3 in the form of EPA and DHA (almost nobody really consumes algal oil)), for instance about 1-4th-1/3rd of the population in India) seem totally fine from a basic health biomarkers standpoint.
