Abstract:
A method for identifying supportive vitamins/nutrients utilizing a central processing unit and a storage medium coupled to the central processing unit, comprising the steps of:storing a first database for maintaining analyte data information for a plurality of analytes in the storage medium, the first database including an analyte record for each one of the plurality of analytes, each analyte record including an analyte low value, an analyte high value and an analyte target value selected from the group consisting of mode value and weighted average value indicative of a statistical analysis of analyte values obtained from testing a human test group, and wherein the weights of the weighted average do not all equal one;storing a second database for maintaining vitamin/nutrient information for a plurality of vitamins/nutrients in the storage medium, the second database including a vitamin/nutrient record for each one of the plurality of vitamins/nutrients, each vitamin/nutrient record including a set of analytes associated with the particular vitamin/nutrient and an effect the particular vitamin/nutrient has on the associated analytes;inputting a patient analyte test result set into the central processing unit, the patient analyte test result set including an analyte value for at least one of the plurality of analytes;generating a patient analyte level set from the patient analyte test result set and the analyte data information of the first database, the patient analyte level set including a patient analyte level for each analyte in the analyte test result set;comparing the patient analyte level set to each of the plurality of vitamin/nutrient records; anddetermining a group of vitamins/nutrients that has supportive effects on the patient analyte levels.
