Guide 9 — How to Use CompoundIQ

How to Use CompoundIQ

Introduction

CompoundIQ was designed to provide a single place to manage protocol tracking, inventory, progress monitoring, reminders, and educational content.

Many users begin with a combination of:

• Notes apps
• Spreadsheets
• Calendar reminders
• Photo galleries
• Inventory lists

Over time this can become difficult to manage.

CompoundIQ brings everything together into one platform.

This guide will walk you through the core features and help you get started.

---

Step 1: Create Your Account

When you first join CompoundIQ you can create an account using:

• Email and password
• Google Sign-In (where available)

Your account securely stores:

• Protocols
• Dose history
• Progress records
• Inventory
• Preferences

This allows you to access your information from multiple devices.

---

Step 2: Complete Your Profile

Before creating your first protocol, review your account settings.

You can update:

• Display name
• Timezone
• Reminder preferences
• Reminder delivery time

Setting the correct timezone is important because compliance tracking, reminders, and missed-dose calculations are based on your local time.

---

Step 3: Add Your First Protocol

Navigate to the Peptides section and select:

«Add Protocol»

You can choose from several delivery methods:

Vial + Syringe

Track:

• Total compound amount
• Liquid volume
• Concentration
• Reconstitution information

---

Pen Cartridge

Track:

• Pen label
• Total amount
• Total volume
• Clicks per dose
• Estimated doses remaining

---

Prefilled Pen

Track:

• Pen details
• Dose schedule
• Inventory usage

without needing reconstitution information.

---

Step 4: Create a Schedule

Each protocol can have one or more schedules.

Examples include:

• Daily
• Alternate days
• Specific weekdays
• Multiple times per day

Schedules determine when a dose should appear on your dashboard.

Once created, CompoundIQ automatically tracks upcoming doses and compliance.

---

Step 5: Use the Today Dashboard

The Today screen acts as your daily command centre.

Here you can view:

• Doses due today
• Recent activity
• Compliance summaries
• Inventory alerts
• Progress summaries

Most users spend the majority of their time on this screen.

---

Logging a Dose

When a scheduled dose becomes due, you'll see actions available directly from the Today screen.

You can mark a dose as:

Taken

Use this when the scheduled activity has been completed.

---

Skipped

Use this when you intentionally choose not to complete the scheduled activity.

Optional notes can be added.

---

Missed

Missed entries are automatically derived by the system when a scheduled occurrence passes without being marked as Taken or Skipped.

No manual action is required.

---

Understanding Dose Statuses

CompoundIQ uses four statuses:

Upcoming

Scheduled but not yet due.

Taken

Completed and logged.

Skipped

Intentionally skipped.

Missed

Scheduled but not logged before the next day in your timezone.

These statuses help build an accurate compliance history.

---

Step 6: Review Your History

The History section provides a complete record of activity.

You can view:

• Taken doses
• Skipped doses
• Missed doses
• Upcoming schedules

Filters make it easy to review specific entries.

This is often useful when reviewing long-term consistency.

---

Understanding Compliance

Compliance measures how closely recorded activity matches planned schedules.

CompoundIQ tracks:

• Taken
• Skipped
• Missed

and calculates compliance percentages over:

• 7 days
• 30 days

Compliance is intended to provide information, not judgement.

Its purpose is to help identify patterns and trends.

---

Step 7: Track Your Progress

The Progress section allows you to record changes over time.

You can log:

Weight

Track weight trends and changes.

---

Progress Photos

Upload progress photographs to create a visual record.

---

Notes

Record observations and important milestones.

---

Why Progress Tracking Matters

Daily changes are often difficult to notice.

Long-term records provide a much clearer picture of overall progress.

Many users find that progress photos and trend data become increasingly valuable over time.

---

Step 8: Manage Inventory

The Inventory section helps track supplies.

Examples include:

• Pen needles
• Syringes
• Alcohol swabs
• BAC Water
• Cartridges
• Sharps bins

Keeping inventory records reduces the likelihood of running out of essential supplies.

---

Setting Reorder Thresholds

Each inventory item can have a reorder threshold.

When stock falls below the chosen level, CompoundIQ will add the item to your reorder list.

This allows you to plan ahead rather than waiting until supplies are exhausted.

---

Step 9: Use the Reorder List

The Reorder section automatically gathers items that may need attention.

You can quickly identify:

• Low stock items
• Estimated remaining supply
• Items requiring reordering

This helps simplify inventory management.

---

Step 10: Use Reminder Emails

Reminder emails help keep tracking consistent.

Depending on your settings, reminders can include:

• Doses due today
• Upcoming schedules
• Inventory alerts
• Reorder information

Only relevant upcoming activity is included.

Completed activity is excluded.

---

Step 11: Explore the Encyclopedia

The Encyclopedia contains educational information about compounds, terminology, and related concepts.

Use it to:

• Learn terminology
• Understand concepts
• Explore educational content

The encyclopedia is designed to grow over time as new entries are added.

---

Step 12: Read the Guides

The Guides section provides structured educational content.

Topics include:

• Beginner guides
• Equipment guides
• Tracking guides
• Inventory guides
• Compliance guides

If you're new to peptides, this is one of the best places to start.
