Great article! What does the research say on consuming bitters via capsules vs being able to taste it?
Does the benefit solely come from the bitter taste that directly stimulates our taste buds, or is it possible to benefit from bitter foods even if we can't taste the bitterness (i.e through capsules, masking the bitterness in cooking etc)?
A very well written article. I have one question, what is the normal ferritin level and if the ferritin level is 89 is it normal or low. Thanks
Different practitioners have different normals. A few Indian FM practitioners recommend minimum 80.

Super question.
Taste works differently from bioactives.
i.e. One uses the TAS2R pathway, and the other uses the bioactive pathway (andrographolide, for example).
That's why you need to taste the bitter for it to work best.
