Your cycle shapes how your body responds to everything, including the supplements you take. Cycl is the first supplement management app built around your menstrual cycle, personalizing your daily stack based on your current phase. Not a period tracker. Not a supplement store. A smarter way to take care of yourself. WHAT CYCL DOES - Cycle-aware scheduling: Your supplement plan updates automatically across four daily time slots as your phase changes. - Conflict detection: Cycl flags supplement interactions in your stack before you take them. - Phase-adaptive recommendations: Get suggestions tuned to where you are in your cycle. - Dose tracking with reminders: Stay consistent without thinking about it. Simple onboarding. Enter your cycle info, build your stack, and your personalized plan is ready in minutes. We also offer premium features with subscriptions, such as a smarter supplement stack generator and in-depth women's health supplement insights, to help you get the most out of your supplement routines. Cycl is not a medical app and does not provide medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional before making changes to your supplement routine.
