Nine vitamin bottles on the counter. Which one is doing something? Which one repeats another? Which one is a third of the cost? Nothing in your life is set up to tell you. Your doctor hasn't got eleven minutes. The brand cannot say Weak. The podcast has to have something new in it next week. The forum adds. Every source you have is additive, and not one of them is in a position to tell you what to take out. Eclo reads your stack back to you. WHAT YOU SEE An evidence grade for every compound — Strong, Moderate, Emerging, Weak, Unsupported. Graded per goal, because magnesium for sleep and magnesium for muscle are not the same claim. Your monthly cost, and how much of it sits behind each grade. Redundancy. The same active compound arriving through three bottles, and the daily total that results. Overlap. Two compounds doing one job, graded differently. Gaps. What comparable stacks contain and yours doesn't. Stated as an observation, not an instruction. A written synthesis of the whole stack, signed. Sometimes it says most of your stack is lower-evidence. WHAT ECLO CANNOT TELL YOU Whether your stack is working. Nothing can, from the outside. Eclo tells you whether anyone has ever shown that it works, what that evidence is worth, and what you are paying for it. The rest is yours. WHAT ECLO WILL NOT DO It does not sell supplements. It does not link to shops or take affiliate revenue. It has no buy button. It does not build you a stack. It does not generate advice from a language model. It does not score brands. It does not tell you that you are doing well. Every one of those is a way to make money from this audience. Every one is also a reason to grade something Strong that isn't. DAILY USE Log what you took. One reminder per time-of-day bucket. Miss a dose and nothing happens — no streak breaks, no guilt prompt. This part of Eclo is free, permanently. WHAT REQUIRES A SUBSCRIPTION The analysis, the weekly check-in, the monthly review, and a stack larger than five items. Seven days free, no card. WHO WROTE THE GRADES A doctor. Eclo sells no supplements and takes no affiliate revenue, which is why it can grade something Weak. Eclo is for information. It is not medical advice and does not replace your GP or pharmacist. — Eclo Pro is a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Account Settings.
