About

StackWise

Read full description

StackWise builds a supplement plan around you and checks it against the medications you take. Answer a short questionnaire about your goals, diet, lifestyle, current supplements and medications. In under a minute, StackWise turns your answers into a clear daily plan: what to take, how much, and when. WHAT YOU GET - A plan made for you. Supplements, doses and timing chosen for your goals, diet and routine, organized into morning, midday, evening and before bed. - A review of what you already take. Every supplement you list gets a clear verdict: keep it, adjust the dose, or pause it, with the reason in plain words. - Medication and safety checks. Your plan is cross-checked against your medications and 2,500+ known interactions, and doses are checked against established safe upper limits. - Evidence you can read. Each recommendation shows a confidence rating and the PubMed studies behind it. - Meal-aware timing. The plan tells you what to take with food, on an empty stomach, or hours apart from a medication. - An AI assistant that knows your stack. Ask about timing, doses or a specific supplement and get answers that cite their sources. - Daily tracking and reminders. Check off each dose, build streaks, and get reminded at the times your plan sets. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tell us your goals, diet, lifestyle, current supplements and medications. 2. StackWise researches the options, checks interactions and safe limits, and writes your plan. 3. Follow your daily checklist, track your progress, and ask the assistant whenever a question comes up. WHO IT'S FOR - Adults who take several supplements and want to know they work together - Anyone on medication who wants their supplements checked against it - People starting a routine who don't know where to begin SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS StackWise offers a free tier with limited features.
