A nutritional deficiency identification system includes a temperature sensor connected to a biofeedback instrument, which is connected to a computer. At a testing site, the sensor is attached to a subject, and an evaluation test is performed under software control. The subject's temperature is monitored, displayed, and recorded at regular intervals during the entire evaluation. The beginning of the test comprises a temperature stabilization period in which the subject's body temperature is allowed to stabilize in the testing site's environment. After the stabilization period, a first nutritional supplement is placed on the subject's tongue at the beginning of a testing period. At an intermediate time during its testing period, the supplement is discarded, and the testing period is continued. The subject's metabolic and physiological responses to the supplement are reflected in body temperature fluctuations. After the testing period of the first supplement, another supplement is placed on the tongue at the beginning of another testing period.
