Everything about Elyxis v1 — running honest experiments on yourself. Don't see your question? Email support@elyxis.app.
Elyxis is a personal experiment app. Most health advice is built on what worked for the average person in a study — but you're not average. Elyxis helps you test a single change (like matcha for focus, or magnesium for sleep) on yourself over a fair, fixed protocol, then gives you an honest read on whether it actually seemed to help you.
Create a free account, pick an experiment from the library (or set up your own), and follow the simple daily prompt. Connecting a wearable is optional. At the end you get your honest result — no spreadsheets and no science background needed.
No. Elyxis is a general wellness tool. It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe doses, or replace your doctor, pharmacist, dietitian, or therapist. It measures your own response to choices you've already decided to make. For anything health-related — especially starting or changing a supplement or medication — talk to a qualified professional first.
You pick something to test. Elyxis builds a fair schedule (some days with the change, some without, arranged so the result isn't just placebo or a fluke), you give a quick daily 1–10 rating, and optionally connect a wearable. When the protocol ends, Elyxis analyses your data — accounting for things like your sleep and routine — and gives you a clear verdict: likely helped, no clear effect, or likely made it worse.
It depends on what you're testing — and that's deliberate. Fast-acting changes (caffeine swaps, screen habits) get a clean read in about 14 days. Slow-building compounds like ashwagandha, creatine, omega-3 or vitamin D need 30–45+ days, often with a washout period, because that's how long they take to build up. Elyxis sets the length when it designs your protocol and tells you why. A shorter run would just produce a confident-sounding wrong answer.
Some compounds linger in your system after you stop taking them. A washout is a planned stretch of "off" days that lets those effects fade, so your off-days are genuinely off. Without it, the comparison would be contaminated and the verdict would flatter the supplement. If your protocol includes one, the schedule shows it and explains it.
Because honest answers about a single person come with uncertainty, and pretending otherwise would be misleading. Elyxis shows you how confident the result is (for example, "likely helped — 78%") instead of overclaiming. That honesty is the whole point — it's the opposite of supplement-marketing hype.
No — a daily one-tap rating is enough to run an experiment. If you do connect Apple Health or Google Health Connect, Elyxis can add objective signals like sleep and heart rate to sharpen the result, but it's completely optional.
Everyday wellness variables — supplements (like magnesium, ashwagandha, creatine, omega-3) and habits (like morning sunlight, cold showers, no-screens-before-bed, breathwork). There's a library of 30+ research-backed experiments to start from, or you can set up your own.
Mostly, yes — describe what you want to test in your own words ("the ashwagandha gummies my sister swears by") and Elyxis designs a proper protocol around it: the variable, a fair schedule, the right length, the outcome to measure. You approve everything before it starts. Two honest limits: it will decline anything that needs a professional (prescriptions, symptoms of a condition) and point you to better help instead, and it won't pretend to cleanly test three changes at once — it'll propose a one-at-a-time sequence.
Elyxis is built for everyday wellness choices, not for managing prescriptions. Never start, stop, or change a prescribed medication based on Elyxis. If you and your doctor have already decided on a change, you may choose to track how you feel — but that's between you and your clinician, and Elyxis won't advise a dose or a decision.
Elyxis is for adults 18 and over. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have a diagnosed medical condition, or take prescription medication, please talk to your clinician before experimenting with anything that could affect your health. Elyxis is not a substitute for medical care, and it's not for diagnosing or treating any condition.
Elyxis runs one experiment at a time — the app enforces it — so the result stays clean: if you change two things at once, you can't tell which one did what. As soon as an experiment finishes, you're free to start the next.
No problem — life happens. The next morning, Elyxis asks one honest question: log yesterday only if you genuinely remember it, or mark it skipped and the schedule stretches by a day. A missed day or two won't ruin your result — guessed ratings would. Elyxis accounts for gaps and will simply tell you if it doesn't have enough data for a confident answer.
Anything that syncs to Apple Health (on iPhone) or Google Health Connect (on Android) — including Apple Watch, Oura, Fitbit, Garmin, Whoop, and many continuous glucose monitors. Elyxis reads only the metrics you approve, and a wearable is always optional — a daily rating works on its own.
Stop, and treat it like any other reaction — contact a healthcare professional, or your local emergency services if it's serious. Elyxis only measures how you respond to choices you've made; it never recommends products or doses. Test sensibly, and check with a professional before trying anything you're unsure about.
Yes — "n-of-1" means a study with a sample size of one: you. It's a real method used in research to learn what works for a single individual rather than an average. Elyxis builds a fair schedule, sizes the protocol to the intervention, accounts for confounders like your sleep and routine, and reports the result with honest uncertainty instead of a hyped headline.
Not at all — that's a real, useful answer. It means the change didn't move your numbers in a way we can confidently tell apart from normal day-to-day variation. Knowing something probably isn't worth your money or effort is just as valuable as finding something that works.
Yes. Your body and circumstances change, and a single run is a snapshot, not a verdict for life. Re-run any experiment whenever you want to check whether a result still holds.
Yes, optionally (Pro). Upload a lab report at the start of an experiment and a follow-up near the end, and your Science Report shows the before→after change alongside your verdict. One honest caveat, stated in the report itself: two snapshots are supporting context only — they never change your verdict number. Most people skip this entirely, and that's fine.
Most apps just show you data — steps, sleep, a number going up or down. Elyxis runs an actual experiment and tells you whether a specific change is helping you, with honest confidence levels. It's the difference between tracking your life and testing it.
Yes. We collect only what's needed to run your experiments and show your results. We never sell your data, and we never use your health or wearable data for advertising. You can export or delete your data at any time. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.
If you connect Apple Health or Google Health Connect, Elyxis reads only the metrics you approve and uses them solely to compute your experiment results. You can revoke access anytime — per metric in the app, or entirely in your device settings — which stops further collection.
Only if you opt in. Pooled evidence is anonymized and aggregate — it's what will power the Discover library's community numbers and make thin data sturdier as members opt in. It's off by default, revocable anytime in Settings, and never includes anything identifying. Opting out changes nothing about your own experiments.
Yes, anytime. You can export a copy of your data (JSON/CSV) and delete your data — or your whole account — from within the app; deletion purges production systems within 24 hours and backups within 30 days. Need a hand? Email support@elyxis.app.
There's a free tier to get started. Pro is $14.99/month or $99/year, with a 14-day trial. Prices are always shown plainly before you subscribe — no strike-through theatrics.
That's the design. The trial runs 14 days with full Pro; the first charge lands on day 15, and we send a reminder on day 12 — so a fast-acting experiment finishes before you pay a cent. If your protocol is longer (slow-building supplements run 30–45+ days), you'll have seen your data building and your mid-run signal by then, and the experiment simply continues on Pro. Trial length is about billing; protocol length is about science — we never bend the second to fit the first.
Anytime, in two taps — through your app-store subscription settings (App Store or Google Play) or your account settings. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of the current period, and your data and verdicts stay yours, read-only, forever.
If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, refunds are handled by that store under its policy. For anything else, contact support@elyxis.app. Aside from store policies and your legal rights, payments are generally non-refundable — which is exactly why the free tier and the see-your-result-first trial exist.
Elyxis is built for iOS and Android. Wearable integration uses Apple Health (HealthKit) on iPhone and Google Health Connect on Android.
This first version is the start. The same honest-measurement engine is built to grow — more data sources, deeper insight over time. Follow where it's heading on the vision page. We'll only ever add new capabilities with the right safeguards and updated terms.
