Separate the intervention from the promise
Ask what was actually tested, for how long and against which comparison. A laboratory performance change does not establish a race result, a recovery benefit or long-term safety. A proposed mechanism is weaker evidence than a relevant measured outcome.
Context matters
Consider the demands of your event, normal food intake, sleep, tolerance and any health concerns. Caffeine-containing products can overlap. Adding a second product is not a way to avoid reviewing total exposure or timing. JMM does not automatically add a caffeine dose to a hard workout.
Review before experimenting
Get appropriate professional advice before using a supplement as a performance aid, especially with medicines or an existing condition. Review contamination and anti-doping concerns separately. Do not begin an unfamiliar product simply because race day is near.
What the app can show
The catalogue can organize evidence and explicit preferences for review. It cannot establish that an ingredient is safe for you, diagnose a need or guarantee improved performance. A declined choice should remain declined across the session workflow.
