A system for dispensing a compound, the apparatus comprising: a computing device configured to: receive health-related information from an individual; receive taste-related preference data from an individual; based on the health-related information, determine a suggested formulation for a supplement for the individual; based on the taste-related preference data, determine a suggested filler medium, wherein the filler material is a thixotropic semi-solid hydrocolloid that allows dissolution or suspension of compounds in a form that is stable until agitated or extruded at which point the semi-solid becomes fluid and can be dispensed; receive individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium; and determine whether individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium are within acceptable contraindication ranges; a formulation module configured to prepare the formulation; a medium formulation module configured to prepare the filler medium; and a dispenser configured to dispense an amount of the formulation within the filler medium to form a dosage, wherein the thixotropic semi-solid hydrocolloid is solubilized to embed the formulation and then reformed as a semi-solid; wherein a user interface is configured to display the suggested formulation and the suggested filler medium to the individual, and is further configured to receive the individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium. a computing device configured to: receive health-related information from an individual; receive taste-related preference data from an individual; based on the health-related information, determine a suggested formulation for a supplement for the individual; based on the taste-related preference data, determine a suggested filler medium, wherein the filler material is a thixotropic semi-solid hydrocolloid that allows dissolution or suspension of compounds in a form that is stable until agitated or extruded at which point the semi-solid becomes fluid and can be dispensed; receive individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium; and determine whether individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium are within acceptable contraindication ranges; receive health-related information from an individual; receive taste-related preference data from an individual; based on the health-related information, determine a suggested formulation for a supplement for the individual; based on the taste-related preference data, determine a suggested filler medium, wherein the filler material is a thixotropic semi-solid hydrocolloid that allows dissolution or suspension of compounds in a form that is stable until agitated or extruded at which point the semi-solid becomes fluid and can be dispensed; receive individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium; and determine whether individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium are within acceptable contraindication ranges; a formulation module configured to prepare the formulation; a medium formulation module configured to prepare the filler medium; and a dispenser configured to dispense an amount of the formulation within the filler medium to form a dosage, wherein the thixotropic semi-solid hydrocolloid is solubilized to embed the formulation and then reformed as a semi-solid; wherein a user interface is configured to display the suggested formulation and the suggested filler medium to the individual, and is further configured to receive the individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium.
