In case any of you have severe iron-deficiency anemia, this 2020 research on hepcidin/timing 100% turned things around for me and I don't think it's made it onto most people's radar:

Every-other-day supplementation w/ 100mg iron bisglycinate in the morning + orange juice + C supplement + food + (coffee no closer than an hour before/after) is finally moving the needle for me without worsening autoimmune-related inflammation. YMMV.

Internet-brain disclaimers:

I don't absorb iron well and have been working on this with my doctors since I was a kid—please refrain from offering me advice about meat, tofu, spinach, liquid iron, iron fish, IV infusions, etc. If it exists, I've tried it.

Also, gentlemen of fedi, please don't take this as an invitation to publicly divulge your partners' medical conditions. 🙏
