New here? Start with this.
A plain-English starting point for anyone new to peptides, GLP-1s, or TRT. No jargon walls, no gatekeeping, no forum culture. Just the words, what they mean, and what to expect.
We explain the words. We never tell you what to take.
“I stared at a vial with no idea what half the words meant. I built this because I was lost in exactly the same spot.”
Glossary
The ones you’ll actually see on a vial, a forum, or a doctor’s note.
Reconstitution
Mixing a dry powder peptide with sterile water so it can be drawn into a syringe.
Full definition →Bacteriostatic water
Sterile water with a preservative that keeps a mixed vial usable for a few weeks.
Full definition →Subcutaneous
Injected into the fat layer just under the skin. Short needle, shallow angle.
Full definition →Cycle / off-cycle
A stretch of weeks on a compound, followed by a stretch off to give your body a break.
Full definition →Titration
Easing a dose up or down gradually over weeks, rather than jumping straight to a target.
Full definition →IU (International Unit)
A dose unit used for some peptides. Not the same as milligrams.
Full definition →mcg vs mg
1,000 micrograms (mcg) equals 1 milligram (mg). Easy to misread on a label.
Full definition →GLP-1 agonist
A class of drugs (semaglutide, tirzepatide) that mimic a gut hormone tied to appetite.
Full definition →Half-life
How long it takes for half of a dose to clear your system. Drives dosing frequency.
Full definition →Peptide
A short chain of amino acids. Smaller than a protein, larger than a single amino acid.
Full definition →Ancillary
A supporting compound taken alongside a main one, often to manage side effects.
Full definition →Loading dose
A larger starting dose some protocols use to reach steady levels sooner, before settling to a maintenance amount.
Full definition →What’s normal
Usually because nobody told them what to expect. Here’s what’s actually normal.
Real changes happen over weeks and months, not days. If week one feels quiet, that’s the point.
Nausea, injection-site tenderness, weird sleep. Most of it settles within the first few weeks.
The compound works best alongside food, movement, and sleep. Not instead of them.
What this isn’t
If you’re unsure about anything you’re taking, talk to a healthcare provider. Really.
General arithmetic. You supply every number. Nothing is suggested or preset.

Concentration
-mg/mL
A general arithmetic tool. It does not recommend doses and makes no medical claims. Every value is entered by you. Consult a licensed healthcare provider before injecting anything.

FAQ
No. TRKD+ is a tracker and glossary. We don't sell, source, or link to anything you can buy. Where you get compounds is between you and your provider.
Anything you inject into your body should come from and be overseen by a licensed provider. TRKD+ won't tell you otherwise, and it won't help you skip that step.
Your logs live on your device by default. We don't sell data. We don't run ads. We don't share anything with insurers or employers.
A spreadsheet can't rotate injection sites for you, sync with Apple Health, or give you a plain-English glossary at 11pm when you're staring at a vial.
Yes. No paywalled core features, no trial, no premium tier. If that ever changes, existing features stay free for existing users.
