Bloodwork question about vitamin B12. Baseline, two years in, and the numbers moved in a direction I did not expect.
Tolerance and underdosing look identical from the inside, which is why the answer is usually a blood test and not more forums.
The effect size I actually noticed is roughly a third of what the write-ups imply, and it took two years to be sure.
Fortified food counts toward the total and is always forgotten.
Posting to be argued with, mainly.
Log dose, time and sleep. Ten seconds a day and it turns the anecdote into something you can look at.
Cold storage, light protection, date on the vial. Boring, removes half the variables.
This board overrates bloodwork. A number moving is not the outcome you wanted.
Nobody has ever been talked out of a stack by a stranger on the internet.
Most of what is called evidence here is one person, one vial, one month.
An inconclusive account is useful if it stops the next person mistaking a story for a controlled comparison.
How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?
Is a baseline blood test really necessary before starting something like this?
A plausible mechanism is not an outcome, and this class is the textbook example. Currently on vitamin B12 myself.
Read the methods section. It is the only part that says whether the conclusion is allowed to exist.
Narrow conclusion.
I would take the narrow conclusion. Broad ones are more interesting and less true.
