The development of personalized nutritional supplements addresses the problem of nutrient imbalance, which can negatively impact health and wellness. Traditional supplement options often follow a "one-size-fits-all" approach, leading to inefficiencies as individual needs vary significantly. The proposed method focuses on creating customized supplement packages tailored to the specific wellness needs of each individual.
A systematic approach is employed to prepare personalized supplement packages. This involves identifying suboptimal wellness categories for an individual and rank ordering various ingredients based on their utility scores related to these conditions. Ingredients are then selected in rank order and combined until the total package amount is achieved, ensuring that the most beneficial components are prioritized.
The process utilizes a comprehensive database that includes benefit measures for numerous ingredients across various wellness categories. By assessing these measures, utility scores are calculated for each ingredient, guiding the selection process. A programmable digital computer facilitates this operation, allowing for efficient handling of potentially hundreds of ingredients and their respective dosages.
The final product consists of precision supplement packages that may include multiple dosage forms such as capsules, tablets, or gummies. Each package is carefully filled according to the predetermined target amounts derived from the ranked list of ingredients, ensuring that individual health needs are met without exceeding recommended daily intake levels.
The invention also encompasses advanced systems that integrate computer algorithms and robotics for automated preparation of supplements. This includes a robot equipped with bins containing various ingredients, which can precisely dispense the correct amounts into containers based on calculated targets. This innovation streamlines the production process while maintaining accuracy in delivering personalized nutritional solutions.
