I'm quite sure that this app saved my life. For the last year and a half, my health declined to the point that I was bedridden over 95% of the time. Doctors couldn't figure it out and neither could I, despite being a scientist and reading nutritional research as a serious hobby for a couple of decades. In the app, you enter symptoms, and then it will ask a series of questions to narrow things down. This is pure genius- it asked things I had going on and would not have thought to put together. They also cut across medical specialities if the issue could include nutrients that are important for several functions. This app let me know that I was highly likely to be deficient in a particular micronutrient, and possibly a second one. The app then gives a list of foods to get that nutrient (it was only showing a list for one food per query). I went with a supplement to correct this, and within hours I started improving- not a placebo effect, swelling was going down and energy, up! In a few days I was able to do chores that I hadn't been able to do in ages. Thyroid hormone levels are recovering, too! This app is new enough that it can be a bit glitchy when you start up, and it would be nice if in the future the list of foods included how much of the nutrient each of them contain, and give a list for each nutrient identified in the report. At the moment, without that, you can at least look over the list of recommendations & that helps. I saw that I hadn't been including those foods for years (work injury destroyed income & former, more varied diet) so it seemed reasonable that I'd be depleted. It would also be a nice improvement if they were to give info on the correct form for a supplement. Though it emphasizes getting nutrition through diet, that isn't always possible, and bioavailability matters. I highly recommend this app. If you use iOS, you must wait. I tried to get it for someone else and we were unable to get it through either play store for her iPhone. I'll be doing the updates, and again must point out that as it is, this app can already be a life-saver.

It is easier than opening a book one touch it is already there and time saving. At the touch of a botton what you are really looking for is at hand and easier to scan. For what you are really looking for. It's availability is very helpful when you want to find the vitamins and minerals you wany it is right there at the touch of a botton. It is very helpful and time saving whenever yo need it.

You will love this app, it is a very helpful app thanks, after using it for a while, I can truly say that I highly recommend this brilliant little app. A huge amount of hard work has obviously gone into this. It is super helpful and full of extremely valuable information for natural health. Yes it has ads, but they are minimal. The developer has to eat, so it's a good idea to support a great app developer
