Research log summary heatmap
Compact view of how logs describe shifts in pain, sleep, and performance (−5 to +5). Treat this as qualitative, anonymous signal only.
No community research logs yet. When structured logs are added, this panel will summarize typical shifts in pain, sleep, and performance.
Anonymous side-effect patterns
Rough heatmap of anonymous side-effect and positive-signal tags — a "most-mentioned" snapshot, not safety or efficacy advice.
No anonymous side-effect reports yet. When reports are submitted, this panel will show a simple heatmap of tags like "nausea", "flushing", "improved healing", and more.
