frequently asked questions

titrate combines your biometrics (age, sex, diet, goals, medications), supplement stack, and optional DNA/lab inputs with a curated interaction rule set, a 360+ SNP knowledge base, and Google Gemini AI — whose training data draws from biomedical literature, pharmacological references, and genomic databases. Recommendations are genetics-led when DNA is available, then adjusted for safety and real-world context. Results are prioritized into essential/recommended/optional tiers by clinical confidence rather than popularity.

No. titrate is an educational decision-support tool. It surfaces research so you can have a more informed conversation with your doctor or pharmacist. Never stop or start a supplement without consulting a qualified healthcare provider.

We collect only the biometric inputs you provide during intake (age, sex, diet, goals, medications, conditions). All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell your information to third parties. See our Privacy page for full details.

Every analysis automatically factors in sex-specific hormonal markers — androgens and recovery hormones for males, thyroid and metabolic hormones for females. This affects dosing windows, ingredient selection, and interaction warnings without requiring any extra input.

Yes. During intake you can toggle on DNA data or lab integration under Advanced Intelligence. When enabled, titrate layers genomic SNP analysis (e.g., MTHFR, VDR, CYP variants) and serum-level calibration on top of the standard analysis for more precise recommendations.

Factors like high caffeine intake, alcohol consumption, smoking, and chronic stress directly affect nutrient absorption, metabolism, and depletion rates. Flagging them lets titrate adjust dosing and timing — for example, shifting magnesium later if caffeine competes for absorption.

We recommend re-running every 60–90 days, or whenever something meaningful changes — a new medication, a diet shift, a change in training volume, or new lab results. titrate's analysis model is designed for iterative refinement, not one-and-done.

The analysis is powered by Google Gemini AI, whose training corpus includes biomedical literature (PubMed/MEDLINE), pharmacological databases (DrugBank), and genomic references (ClinVar, SNPedia). On top of that, we maintain a curated set of supplement interaction rules and a 360+ SNP knowledge base built from published research. These are not live database queries — they are expert-curated rules and AI knowledge applied to your specific inputs.

No. The label is processed entirely by AI vision models. No human reviews your images. Photos are used only for ingredient extraction and are not stored after analysis is complete.

titrate will flag contraindicated ingredients for pregnancy and lactation when you provide that information. However, supplement use during pregnancy should always be supervised directly by your OB-GYN or midwife — our tool is not a substitute for prenatal care.
