The dose log

The dose log is the simplest thing in Peptide AI and the one that matters most. Each dose you take becomes a timestamped entry with the compound, the amount, the route, the injection site, the cycle day and the vial it was drawn from. You can log it on the phone or from the Apple Watch. That is the whole feature. What makes it worth a page is what the rest of the app does with it.

What gets recorded on every dose

How it works, step by step

1. Set up the compound once. Pick it from the library, or add it as part of a protocol in the protocol planner. The app now knows what is due and when.
2. Log the dose. When a reminder fires, or whenever you take it, confirm the amount, the route and the site. If the compound comes from a reconstituted vial, choose the vial so the count of doses left drops by one.
3. Add how you felt, if you want. A daily check-in records how you felt alongside what you took. It is optional, and it is the part people wish they had started earlier when something changes six weeks in.
4. Let the rest of the app read it. Wearable data, uploaded labs, the food log and Remi all key off the dose timeline. Nothing extra to do.

Why a written log beats memory

Most people who take something long term do not take it exactly as planned. The World Health Organization's 2003 report on long-term therapies put average adherence among people with chronic diseases in developed countries at about 50 percent. That figure covers prescribed medicines for conditions people have every reason to treat, and it is not a judgement. Doses get missed, doubled, shifted by a day and then forgotten.

The problem for anyone trying to work out whether something is working is that the memory of a protocol is usually tidier than the protocol was. If a lab result moves, or sleep gets worse, or the scale stalls, the first question a clinician asks is what you actually took and when. A record made at the time answers it. A reconstruction made from memory weeks later does not.

Self-monitoring has been studied most in weight loss. A 2011 systematic review of 22 studies in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found a consistent association between self-monitoring and weight loss, while noting that the evidence was weak because most of the studies relied on self-report and had narrow samples. The honest reading is that people who log tend to do better, and that logging is at least the precondition for seeing what is going on.

Why the log is the spine of the app

A dose you did not log is a dose the rest of the app cannot explain. That is the design rule. The bloodwork feature plots each biomarker against the weeks you were on each compound, which only works if the weeks are recorded. The wearable integrations put heart rate variability, resting heart rate and sleep on the same axis as the doses, so a change in one can be checked against the other. Remi, the coach, answers questions from your own doses, labs and wearable data and never produces a number it did not read from your log. Every one of those features gets more useful with every row.

Who it is for

• People on a prescribed GLP-1 receptor agonist who want a clean weekly record of dose steps, missed doses and side effects. The side effects tracker page explains what to note.
• People running more than one compound at once, where it is easy to lose track of which change came from what.
• Anyone who wants to bring a real record to an appointment instead of a summary from memory.

What it does not do

The log records what you took. It does not tell you what to take. Peptide AI does not sell, prescribe or recommend compounds, and dose decisions belong to you and your prescriber. The reference pages show dosing ranges reported in the literature, but the log itself is a record, not advice.

How it connects to the rest of the app

The protocol planner decides what is due. The vial tracker counts down as you log. The site map fills in from the site on each entry. Nutrition, supplements and training land on the same week. Labs, wearables, body scans and Remi read from it. The community sees that you logged, never what. And your data can be exported or deleted whenever you choose.

If you are starting today, log the next dose you take with its site and vial, and add a one-line check-in. A month of that is enough for the rest of the app to start showing you something. The app is on the download page.
