Half-life visualizer

See how a compound rises, peaks, and clears — single dose or at steady state — using published half-life and time-to-peak values for 60+ compounds.

Educational model. Curves use a one-compartment pharmacokinetic model with each compound's published half-life and time-to-peak, normalized to the single-dose peak. This illustrates shape and timing, not your personal blood levels, which depend on body weight, metabolism, formulation, and assay. Not medical advice.
Inside the app, the model goes deeper

This web tool uses one shared one-compartment (Bateman) curve to illustrate timing. The OptiPin app runs more advanced, compound-specific models and personalizes them to you:

The app outputs personalized levels in real units; this page intentionally shows only relative shape and timing.

How to read this

Half-life is the time for blood levels of a single dose to fall by half. A longer half-life means slower clearance and more accumulation with repeat dosing.

Steady state is reached after about 4–5 half-lives of regular dosing — that's when the amount you take each interval roughly equals the amount cleared. Levels then oscillate between a peak and trough. Shorter intervals relative to half-life produce a flatter curve.

Full clearance is the mirror image: after your last dose, a compound is effectively gone after about 5 half-lives (~97% eliminated). For a long ester this can be over a month; for a short one, days.
