Best supplement tracker apps: tracking, scan, planning, deficiencies

Looking for a supplement tracker that actually helps you stay consistent—and not just collects barcodes? Here’s a practical comparison focused on what matters day‑to‑day: reliable tracking, a scanner that saves time, smart planning so doses don’t clash, and—when available—helpful signals for possible deficiencies.

In short: Supplements AI is the best overall (unique strengths in planning optimization and deficiency detection), while Suppco offers the best scanner. Two other apps round out the list for simple tracking and a clean experience.

How we compared the apps (transparent criteria)

We used clear, reader‑friendly criteria:

• Tracking basics: daily logging, history, reminders/adhesion
• Planning optimization (avoid clashes, split doses, timing guidance)
• Deficiency detection (signal‑based support—not a medical diagnosis)
• Scanner quality (coverage, accuracy, speed)
• Interactions & safety cues
• Data & privacy (export, storage transparency)
• Price & platforms (iOS/Android/Web)

Pacing tip: pick the app that solves your main pain first (planning vs scan), then look at extras like exports and privacy.

FAQ

Is deficiency detection a medical feature?

No. It provides supportive signals (based on entries/patterns) and should not replace evaluation by a professional.

Why does planning optimization matter?

Spacing and timing can improve tolerance and consistency—especially when stacking several products.

Can I export my data?

Supplements AI and Suppco offer CSV export. It’s useful for sharing with a practitioner or backing up your logs.
