Abstract

A system and method for dispensing customized assortments of dietary supplements are disclosed. Consumers specify what assortment of dietary supplements they would like by making selections from a list of available dietary supplements. When an order is received, preferably by way of a network-connected computer, a number of sets of the desired customized dietary supplement mixture are dispensed into individual packages. A number of the individual packages are assembled together and packaged in a shipping package. The shipping package is delivered to the consumer. The consumer avoids the need to assemble their own daily assortments of dietary supplements and also avoids the need to purchase a large quantity of each of the dietary supplements in their selected assortment.
