We're excited to announce a powerful new feature that takes TRT tracking to the next level: Saturation Tracking. This advanced visualisation tool helps you understand exactly how your testosterone levels fluctuate over time, giving you the insights needed to optimise your protocol.
What is Saturation Tracking?
Saturation tracking shows you how your testosterone medication builds up and decays in your system based on your actual doses and injection timing. Unlike static blood test results that only show snapshots, saturation tracking provides a continuous view of your estimated hormone levels.
This feature is particularly valuable for men on self-managed TRT protocols who want to:
- Optimise injection timing by seeing when levels peak and drop
- Understand dose impact by visualising how different amounts affect overall levels
- Identify patterns that might explain mood swings, energy crashes, or other symptoms
- Make data-driven adjustments to their protocol
How to Access Saturation Tracking
Getting started with saturation tracking is simple. Navigate to your insights section and select "Saturation Tracking":
The feature is currently available for testosterone medications and uses your logged doses to calculate estimated saturation levels based on each compound's half-life.
How to Edit a Previous Medication to Add Tracking
If you've previously added testosterone all you need to do is:
- Edit your medication
- Click the back button at the top left on the edit medication form
- Select Testosterone
- Fill out the additional details

Understanding Your Saturation Chart
Once you're in the saturation tracking view, you'll see a comprehensive chart that shows:
- Historical data (blue solid line) showing how your levels have changed based on past doses
- Future projections (purple dashed line) estimating how current levels will decay
- Dose markers (green bars) showing when and how much you injected
- Multiple time ranges from 30 to 60 days for both historical and projected data
Key Benefits for TRT Management
1. Optimise Injection Frequency
Many men struggle with finding the right injection schedule. Saturation tracking helps you see exactly when your levels drop, allowing you to time injections for more stable hormone levels.
2. Understand Symptom Patterns
By correlating your saturation chart with how you feel, you can identify if symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, or low libido coincide with hormone level dips.
3. Make Informed Protocol Changes
Whether you're considering switching from weekly to twice-weekly injections, or adjusting your dose, saturation tracking provides the data to make informed decisions.
4. Better Doctor Conversations
Bring concrete data to your healthcare provider showing exactly how your current protocol affects your hormone levels over time.
Getting Started
To use saturation tracking, you'll need:
- A testosterone medication added to your profile
- Logged doses to generate the saturation data
- Concentration information (mg/ml) for accurate calculations
The feature automatically calculates saturation based on your medication's half-life and your actual injection timing, giving you personalised insights into your specific protocol.
What's Next
Saturation tracking is just the beginning. We're continuously working to add more advanced features that help you optimise your TRT journey. Currently, the feature supports testosterone medications, with plans to expand to other compounds in the future.
