my triglycerides moved and I cannot work out whether ferritin is why

Question Receipts ×3 Cold Box ×1 Slow Clap ×2

Been lurking in c/reconstitution for about 18 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 71, 12.5mg, and baseline labs is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 29 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.

What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 77.

Baseline hs-CRP: 98.3. Week 40: 98.7. Same lab, fasted, same time of day. Trend matters.

ApoB over LDL-C, that is the hierarchy

ApoB over LDL-C, that is the hierarchy

Adding to this: baseline labs is doing more work than the comment implies.

ferritin tanks quietly on a reduced appetite, check it

Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.

About c/bloodwork

What to measure before you start, what to re-measure, and how to interpret movement without panicking. ApoB over LDL-C, HOMA-IR as a crude free tool, ALT and the fatty-liver story, eGFR noise during rapid loss, and the deficiencies that a 1,100-calorie appetite will hand you.

  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
