Trying to separate three different claims about iron bisglycinate: that it is the right molecule, that it is the right dose, and that it does something useful.
The effect size I actually noticed is roughly a third of what the write-ups imply, and it took three years to be sure.
I have started logging dose, time, and sleep because otherwise the anecdote is just a mood.
Loose evidence is not the same as no evidence and people overcorrect in both directions.
Form matters for absorption more than dose past a point.
What is the strongest human evidence anyone here has actually read, not skimmed?
Same here.
Sleep, food, or the compound? Yes.
Narrow conclusion, briefly right. Broad conclusion, interestingly wrong. I know which I keep choosing. Three years in on iron bisglycinate and it lines up.
Stupid question: how do you know whether what is in the vial matches the label at all?
Read methods.
Most of what is called evidence here is one person, one vial, one month.
Log dose, time and sleep. Ten seconds a day and it turns the anecdote into something you can look at.
Nobody has ever been talked out of a stack by a stranger on the internet.
Cold storage, light protection, date on the vial. Boring, removes half the variables.
Underdosing and tolerance are indistinguishable from the inside, and everyone picks the flattering explanation.

What is the first thing you would read if you were starting from zero?
