Does MyFitnessPal track supplements?
Updated 29 September 2026
Not as a feature of its own. MyFitnessPal’s help center describes workarounds to log vitamins and supplements, and says native tracking is something it “continues to explore”, with no date. It does not describe reminders to take them or a count of what is left in the bottle.
How to log supplements in MyFitnessPal
- 1The simplest: write what you took in the notes of that day’s diary.
- 2Or keep them together under their own meal, named something like “Vitamins and Supplements”.
- 3Or create a custom food for each supplement, and use the serving size as the dose: one tablet, one capsule.
- 4If you do not want them to count towards your totals, enter zero for calories and the other nutrients.
MyFitnessPal can remind you when you have not logged a meal. It does not describe a reminder to take a supplement.
What it does well
If you already log everything you eat, your supplements live in the same diary. For some people, logging them is the reminder: if they are not in the diary, they have not been taken yet.
It tracks some micronutrients from food against a daily goal. Its help center lists vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron and potassium.
What it does not describe
A reminder to take a supplement. Its reminders are for meals you have not logged. The one medication reminder it has, for GLP-1 doses, is US and Canada only, and its help center says it does not cover other medications, supplements or vitamins.
Counting what is left in the bottle, or a heads-up before it runs out. The barcode scanner, the quick way to add a bottle, is part of Premium.

When MyFitnessPal is enough
If you already log everything you eat and only want a record of what you took, a custom food or a note does the job.
A separate app earns its place when you want the reminder, and to know which bottle runs out next, without logging anything else.
Questions

- Its help center does not describe it. MyFitnessPal can remind you to log a meal, and it has a GLP-1 dose reminder in the US and Canada, which it says does not cover supplements or vitamins.
- Does MyFitnessPal track the vitamins in my supplements?
- Only if you enter them yourself in a custom food. By default it tracks some micronutrients from food: vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron and potassium.
- Is MyFitnessPal adding a supplement tracker?
- Its help center says native vitamin and medication tracking is something it continues to explore, and that there is no timeline to share.
- Does Cronometer track supplements?
- Cronometer logs supplements the same way as food: you search for them or scan the barcode, and if one is missing you create a custom food.
- Is Supli free?
- The Android beta is free. Pricing for the public release will be announced before it launches.
