Fatty acid supplement for healthier aging in older adults
This study tests whether a daily fatty acid supplement (called pentadecanoic acid) can improve red blood cell health and slow down biological aging. You would take capsules daily and make several visits over a period of time to see if these cells show signs of healthier aging.
