Why tracking matters

Joint comfort fluctuates day to day with activity, weather and sleep, making it easy to misjudge a gradual trend by relying on memory alone.

A simple tracking method

  1. Pick two or three specific markers — a comfort rating one to ten, morning stiffness duration, or a specific activity's ease.
  2. Log them at a consistent time, ideally the same time each day.
  3. Log for one week before starting any new intervention, to establish a baseline.
  4. Continue logging through the trial period, comparing weekly averages rather than single days.

What to watch for in your own data

Look for a trend across multiple weeks rather than day-to-day noise. A single good or bad day is not a trend.

Applying this to a supplement trial
