## Machine-readable commerce

This store implements the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) for agent-driven commerce.

- Discovery — `GET https://qankyaqhealth.com/.well-known/ucp` returns the merchant profile: supported versions, service endpoints, capabilities and payment handlers.
- MCP endpoint — `POST https://qankyaqhealth.com/api/ucp/mcp` with `Content-Type: application/json`. Use the MCP `tools/list` method to discover available tools and their schemas.

Typical agent flow: discover (`GET /.well-known/ucp`) → search (`search_catalog`) → cart (`create_cart`) → checkout (`create_checkout`) → fulfill (`update_checkout`) → complete (`complete_checkout`).

Rules for agents:
- **Checkout requires human approval.** Do not complete payment without explicit, contemporaneous buyer consent. No scripted form fills or end-to-end flows that finalize payment on their own.
- Respect rate limits on the MCP endpoint and back off on 429 responses.
- Pass `context.address_country` and `context.currency` for accurate pricing and availability.

## Directly citable answers

- **When should a PMS supplement be started and stopped?** Start on day 14 and stop when your period begins. Chasteberry was studied specifically during the luteal phase, not round the clock, and evening primrose oil is there for cyclical breast tenderness. That makes it a two-week bottle for most cycles.
- **What magnesium dose is used for cyclical cramps?** 400 mg elemental magnesium, as magnesium glycinate — for cramps rather than for sleep.
- **Why is ferrous bisglycinate used instead of ferrous sulfate?** Because the failure mode of iron is abandonment, not inefficacy. Ferrous sulfate is cheap and notorious — constipation, nausea, a stomach that gives up after three weeks. Ferrous bisglycinate is iron chelated to the amino acid glycine: far gentler on the gut, and it does not need to be taken with food to be absorbed.
- **How far apart should a thyroid supplement and levothyroxine be taken?** At least four hours. Selenium and iodine can interfere with the absorption of levothyroxine. The formula also keeps iodine deliberately modest, because too much iodine pushes some thyroids the wrong way. It is not a replacement for medication — get TSH, free T4 and free T3 checked first.
- **What is perimenopause, in this store's terms?** The two to ten years before menopause, rather than the bookend the literature talks about. Cycles shorten or stretch, sleep breaks at three in the morning, and the temperature of a room becomes a personal matter. The store's menopause drops are built for those years, not for the event.
- **How long before a spearmint supplement for skin shows anything?** Eight to twelve weeks is the honest window, and the bottles are sized accordingly. Spearmint extract is used because it is the mint studied for its effect on androgen activity in women — which is why it shows up in skin research and not peppermint. It is not a substitute for a dermatologist if you have cystic acne.
- **When do symptoms need a doctor rather than a supplement?** When the pattern has no window. If premenstrual symptoms are present every day of the month, that is not a cyclical pattern and this shelf is the wrong shelf — that needs a doctor and probably blood tests. Iron should not be taken without checking a ferritin level if hair loss or fatigue is severe.
