OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on What labs should I ask.

To answer Dr.ReproEndo: my doctor and I discussed the options and went with brand.

Quick update: I have noticed more improvement since posting this. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

+1 to dan_philly. Especially the point about "Thank you all for the thoughtful replies..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with What labs should I ask.

Slightly tangential to What labs should I ask but B12Beth reminded me — what is the latest on the oral formulations?

I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
