Prescription EPA/DHA products can lower triglycerides in some people with high levels. The effect depends on the product and dose; treatment should be clinician-guided. Over-the-counter supplements are not interchangeable with prescription products.
NMN is a precursor involved in NAD metabolism. Small human studies suggest oral NMN can change some measured NAD-related levels, but improvements in healthspan and superiority to direct NAD+ supplementation have not been established.
Some studies suggest berberine may modestly affect cholesterol, but evidence does not establish a specific ApoB reduction or make it a substitute for proven lipid-lowering care. It can cause side effects and interact with medicines.
Ferritin helps assess iron stores, but inflammation or infection can raise ferritin. There is no universal optimal ferritin range for longevity or energy; interpretation depends on the person, the laboratory and related test results.
Track blood work in Excel or Google Sheets with columns for test date, marker, value, unit and the laboratory reference range. Keep a separate dated protocol log and compare like-for-like results over time. A before-and-after difference does not establish that a supplement or diet caused the change.
A blood-test tracking app should preserve test dates, values, units and laboratory reference ranges, then show changes alongside dated protocol logs. Serum Health is building this longitudinal view with a 4D biological avatar; the private beta is coming soon. Verify extracted values against original reports.
