Embodiment Construction

[0059] A computer system is provided in a client-server environment. As shown in FIG. 1, a client system 1 includes a human interface, having a keyboard 2, touchscreen 3, and video display 4 in a kiosk 5. The client computer is a Pentium® PC running Windows 95 and Netscape 3.0 / Java. A hardcopy output device 6 (hidden in the drawing) is also present, e.g., a printer. The server, which is a Sun web server 10, stores the databases for cost 11 and nutritional supplement information 13, as well as the modeling information 14, and includes an application server 15 to evaluate the models and generate a proposal. The client and server are linked by a network 16, e.g., TCP / IP over PPP dial up lines through the Internet, or over Ethernet, ISDN, Frame Relay, or other known means.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 2, the user is prompted to input various information, first identifying himself 21. If the user is previously known to the system 22, the prior data is employed, and the user need only update i...

Abstract

A method and system for proposing nutritional supplementation for a person comprising the steps of receiving personal information, e.g., relating to health and diet, about the person, determining a health model for the person, determining an effect on the health model for at least two nutritional supplements, optimizing a proposed nutritional supplementation for the person based on the personal information about the person and effect for the at least two nutritional supplements, health model, and outputting a proposed nutritional supplementation including amounts of the at least two nutritional supplements. The system may also receive economic considerations, e.g., a budget, for the nutritional supplementation, and further optimize the nutritional supplementation based on the economic considerations.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to the field of nutritional optimization systems and methods, as well as to apparatus for the analysis, storage and retrieval of nutritional optimization data and a system for delivering a nutritionally optimized product. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] It is well known in the art to analyze a diet of a mammal for typical macronutrients, such as carbohydrates, fiber, fat, protein, major vitamins and minerals. In fact, there is a well developed field of nutrition which seeks to employ medical and public health principles to determine an “optimal” diet. Further, total parenteral nutrition is known, wherein foods are determined and administered to a patient, often in a controlled environment. Infant formulas are also a known area of economic and dietary optimization based on public health and medical considerations. [0003] Multivitamins are known, wherein a mixture of vitamins, minerals and cofactors are provided in a conve...
