Methods and systems for providing a nutraceutical program specific to an individual animal
First Claim
1. A method of providing a nutraceutical program specific to an individual animal, comprising:
- drawing blood from the animal;
analyzing the blood at a lab to obtain blood test results;
scoring the blood test results to obtain at least one blood test score for at least one corresponding blood parameter;
determining if the at least one blood test score falls outside a normal range defined for the corresponding blood parameter; and
if said at least one blood test score falls within said normal range but outside of an optimal range within said normal range;
identifying one or more nutraceuticals needed to bring the animal within the optimal range for the at least one corresponding blood parameter; and
calculating a prescribed dosage amount for at least one of said one or more identified nutraceuticals for the animal based on at least said blood test score for said corresponding blood parameter and a deviation of the blood test score from the optimal range;
if said at least one blood test score falls outside of said normal range;
prescribing standard nutrients or medications in order to bring the at least one blood test score within said normal range.

Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and systems for providing an animal with a nutraceutical program that is specifically tailored to address the deficiencies and/or needs of the particular animal. Blood is drawn from the animal and analyzed at a lab to obtain blood test results. The blood test results are scored to obtain at least one blood test score for at least one corresponding blood parameter. If the at least one blood test score falls within a normal range but outside of an optimal range, one or more nutraceuticals needed to bring the animal within the optimal range for the at least one corresponding blood parameter are identified. A prescribed dosage amount is then calculated for at least one of the one or more identified nutraceuticals for the animal. The calculation of the prescribed dosage amount is based on at least the blood test score for the corresponding blood parameter and a deviation of the blood test score from the optimal range.
