An iPhone app that reads your blood test
Your bloodwork says “normal.”
Your body disagrees.
Set to your age, your sex and what you’re trying to fix. It also checks whether the supplements you take are doing anything. Every answer shows where it came from, and when it was said.
What you get
What each number actually means for you — not just whether it got flagged. Add it as a photo, a PDF, or straight from Apple Health.
Point the camera at a supplement. Has anyone independent actually tested it? Is it the form named on the record? Does the dose fit your numbers?
Most panels stop at the basics. Uric acid, ALT, AST — the ones the research says to add for you. Send the list straight to your doctor.
What holds up, what your numbers say is missing, and what to take when.
From a sample report
Ferritin shows how much iron you have stored, and stores run low before anemia shows up. The lab on this sample prints 15 to 150 ng/mL, so 18 comes back clean. Here is where 45 to 70 comes from:
“if your your level’s under 45 it’s going to affect your health even though the reference range on the lab says 16 or above is normal…”
DR. MARK HYMAN ▸ 7:22
“…we want that ferritin in general to be you know around 50 to 70 you don’t want it to be too high…”
DR. ELIZABETH BOHAM ▸ 1:36:56
Not everyone agrees on the top end. For athletes, one researcher wants it higher:
“If you were part of my high performance athletic crew, we want to see minimum 50, preferably 100…”

This one holds up.

Seconds, not an evening.
Before you buy
Every label NIH lists: which are third-party tested, contain none of the additives we check for, and carry a form an expert we quote prefers.

How it works
A photo of the printout, the PDF from your lab’s portal, or Apple Health. Any lab, any format.
The few results worth your attention, set to your age and sex, with the evidence sitting under each one.
The gaps your own results point to, in one day plan with the dose and the timing on every line.
Before a supplement goes in the basket: does it hold up, at your dose, for your numbers.
Ask anything
My magnesium is normal but my vitamin D is low. Do I still need magnesium?
A normal result doesn’t settle it. A serum test reflects under 1% of the magnesium in you — Rhonda Patrick’s point is that your body pulls from bone to hold that number steady, so a real shortfall can hide behind a clean report. She also says magnesium is what converts vitamin D into the form your body can use.

When do I take them?
Magnesium in the evening, 30 to 60 minutes before sleep. Vitamin D with any meal that has fat in it — it’s fat-soluble, so without fat you absorb very little of what you swallow. For vitamin D the hour doesn’t matter; the fat does.

Questions
Someone holding a lab report that says “normal” who still has questions about it. Take the ferritin of 18 above: the lab printed it as normal, and the doctors quoted on this page put optimal at 45 to 70. Decode shows you both numbers, and who said the second one.
Decode tells you it doesn’t have enough from the doctors and scientists it cites to answer, and suggests a related question. It won’t fill the gap from anywhere else. When nobody it cites has put a number on one of your results, you see your lab’s own range instead.
