What we have so far
Ferrous sulfate is cheap, effective and hard on the gut. Bisglycinate is gentler at a lower elemental dose — and alternate-day dosing beats daily, because hepcidin blocks the second dose.
This star is on the map because the show intends to take the question apart properly — the trials, how it is actually tested, whether the thing sold is the thing studied. That work is not done yet, and nothing here should be read as a conclusion. When the investigation is published it will appear on this page.
