The Supplement & Medication Log

Every pill needs a reason, a measure and a review date. Most cabinets hold bottles nobody remembers starting, and nobody can say whether they are working. This log gives each one a reason, a way to measure it, and a date to decide whether to keep it, drop it or ask.

It covers a full year: a short science page each month, a list of everything you take (medicines included), a daily grid, and a review with questions to take to your doctor or pharmacist. There are no recommended doses and no brand names.

How it works

1. StartList everything you take, medicines included, and run the cabinet review.
2. Every dayTick the daily grid and note anything you notice.
3. Every monthRead the science page, review the month and write down questions for your doctor or pharmacist.

A record-keeping tool, not an app: it does not send reminders, calculate doses or check interactions.
