B-complex: what it changed, and what it did not

One intervention, every measured benefit and result that did not improve. See who it moved for, where it stayed neutral or went the other way, and the next hypothesis Phoenix can validate.

How to read this

Observational research: real APOE4 carriers tracked over time, each compared with their own earlier self. Members chose their interventions, with no randomisation or placebo group. Everything else they changed is shown beside each result.
