Frequently Asked Questions

Are these protocols safe to follow?

These are educational research protocols only — they contain no real dosing instructions. Nothing in this library should be acted on without first consulting a licensed healthcare professional.

Can I use these protocols with my clinician?

Yes — that's exactly what they're designed for. Save or copy any protocol and bring it to your appointment as a discussion starting point.

Why are dose fields left blank?

By design. Appropriate doses depend entirely on your individual health status, lab results, body weight, goals, and many other factors that only your clinician can assess. This app never pre-fills real dose values.

Should I discuss these protocols with a doctor?

Yes — these protocols are designed to be conversation starters, not instructions. Use the built-in clinician questions section in each protocol to prepare for a productive conversation with a qualified healthcare professional.

Are these compounds legal?

Legal status varies enormously by compound and by country. Some are FDA-approved for specific indications; others are research compounds. Check with your clinician and verify local regulations.
