NUTRITIONAL OPTIMIZATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A method for outputting a set of records, comprising the steps of:
- (a) defining a user characteristic;
(b) classifying the user based on the defined user characteristic;
(c) receiving a specification from the user for a class of information relating to a plurality of records;
(d) determining economic parameters for each of the plurality of records; and
(e) optimizing a presented set of records based on the determined economic parameters and the defined user characteristic.

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.

14. A method for presenting records to a user, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving an input from the user;
(b) defining a subset of records selected from an electronic database containing a set of records, based on an information content of a respective record and the user input;
(c) quantifying a risk associated with reliance on an information content of a respective record;
(d) determining economic parameters associated with the subset of records; and
(e) presenting the subset of records automatically jointly optimized based on the determined economic parameters, and the quantified risk associated with the selected record. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
