selecting at least one of the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one condition specifically associated with the individual.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting at least one of the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one dosage specifically associated with the individual.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to dosage of at least one of the two or more nutraceutical agents.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting at least one of the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one time of administration.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting at least one of the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to two or more times of administration within a time period.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting at least one of the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to one or more sites of administration associated with the individual.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting at least one of the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to cost associated with at least one of the two or more nutraceutical agents.

20. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting at least one of the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to compatibility of at least one of the nutraceutical agents with another of the two or more nutraceutical agents.

21. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging at least one of the two or more nutraceutical agents with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients.

22. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents with one or more wrappers in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual.

24. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents within two or more nested capsules in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual.

25. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents within at least one tablet in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual.

27. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging at least one of the two or more nutraceutical agents in unit dosage form.

28. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents in oral administration form.

33. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging at least one of the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to a rapid release profile.

34. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging at least one of the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to specified release at one or more times.

38. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents in storage material.

40. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more nutraceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:
