Open data
Everything collected in the reference can be taken away as files: sources, supplement reviews, training volumes, foods and exercises. Publication metadata was never typed in by hand — it comes from PubMed E-utilities and is re-checked on every build.
The files are served at plain addresses and need no JavaScript: /data/references.bib, /data/references.ris, /data/references.csv, /data/supplements.csv. They are rebuilt with the site from the same data as the pages.
What is inside
| File | What is inside |
|---|---|
| references.json | 549 publications: title, authors, journal, year, DOI, PMID, evidence level and source type |
| supplements.json | 103 supplements: mechanism, dosing for every goal, effects, limits, interactions, sources |
| training.json | weekly volume for 10 muscle groups and 5 goals: frequency, load, reps, RIR, cardio, periodisation |
| exercises.json | 25 exercises with technique cues |
| foods.json | 37 foods broken down by macronutrients |
| pharmacology.json | 87 reference cards about substances — 18+ only, with documented risks and no dosing regimens |
In total the base holds 207 "supplement × goal" entries with a dose. Where no studies exist for a goal, an honest note stands in place of a number — see the page «Where data is missing».
How to download
- Reference managers: BibTeX and RIS for all 549 publications. Understood by Zotero, Mendeley and EndNote.
- Tables: CSV sources and Supplement CSV. UTF-8 with a BOM so that Excel does not break Cyrillic.
- Machine-readable: JSON files sit at direct addresses such as /content/supplements.json and need no keys or registration.

Permanent links
Every source on a review page has its own anchor: you can link to a specific statement rather than a whole article — for example /supplements/creatine-monohydrate/#ref-mifflin1990.
