Purpose
Foodwake (foodwake.com) is a nutrition and food therapy information platform based on artificial intelligence and data visualization technology. Its main purposes include: helping users query food nutritional composition; providing scientific food therapy plans for needs and diseases based on highly reliable experimental data and classic literature; and revealing the true effects of supplements (dietary supplements). From the perspective of safety, naturalness, and health, the platform seeks efficient solutions to needs and diseases only among nutrients, natural extracts, and Chinese herbal medicines, and does not take Western drugs in the usual sense into consideration.
Main Capabilities
- AI Food Therapy: Using artificial intelligence, based on highly reliable data, through deep learning and intelligent analysis, it provides food therapy plans for diseases and needs.
- Comprehensive Survey of Supplements: Provides information on the true effects of each supplement, with data sources including nearly 1.2 million publicly released supplement experiment reports from American and global scientific research institutions (data source: PubMed), Wikipedia, and famous works of traditional Chinese medicine.
- Weight System: Weight represents how high the effectiveness (or harmfulness) of a supplement is for a disease. The higher the weight value, the better the therapeutic effect of the supplement on that disease; a supplement with a weight value of 100 is the supplement with the best therapeutic effect on that disease. Users can intuitively compare the effects of different supplements on a specific disease through weight.
- Food Nutritional Composition: Provides comprehensive and intuitive food nutritional composition data.
- Nutrition Quick-Reference Rankings: Quickly query nutrition-related rankings.
- Nutrient Combination Rankings: Provides ranking information for nutrient combinations.
- Food Acidity and Alkalinity: Query the acidity and alkalinity of foods.
- Food Comparison: Compare the nutritional information of different foods. The platform claims to be very outstanding (possibly the best worldwide) in these five aspects: food nutritional composition, nutrition quick-reference rankings, nutrient combination rankings, food acidity and alkalinity, and food comparison.
How to Use
Users can access the website https://www.foodwake.com/ Access. The platform implements an artificial intelligence system based on AI algorithms, NLP, and proprietary pattern recognition technology. When using it, users will see the concept of "weight," which is used to evaluate the effectiveness of supplements for diseases. The platform also offers membership upgrade options (such as Supreme Membership), but the specific fees and membership benefits are not currently provided.
Applicable Scenarios
- Nutrition and fitness educators: consult frontier consultations and objective research reports in physiology, nutrition, and medicine.
- Practitioners in the functional food industry: systematically understand information on various supplements.
- Ordinary users concerned about health: obtain reliable nutritional knowledge and dietary therapy plans, and understand the true effects of supplements.
- Investment institutions: understand scientific information in the field of functional foods and supplements.
Limitations
- The platform explicitly does not include Western medicines in the usual sense, and only focuses on nutrients, natural extracts, and Chinese herbal medicines.
- The scope of supplements is relatively vague. It is generally considered to mainly include nutrients, natural extracts, and herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurveda. In China, many of the health products familiar to the public are supplements.
- The platform emphasizes that the true effects of supplements have been confirmed by high-quality experiments (including double-blind experiments) conducted by scientific research institutions in the United States and around the world, but users need to check the original data and materials themselves on PubMed.
- The platform does not provide specific disease diagnosis or treatment advice and cannot replace professional medical opinion.
- Information such as the platform's specific fees, prices, and membership benefits is not currently provided.
Data and Technology

User Feedback
The platform developer Great Whale stated that the original intention of development was to use artificial intelligence to treat diseases (AI dietary therapy), and to let the public understand the true effects of each supplement (Supplement Overview). Nutrition and fitness educators have reported that the platform's sources are mostly based on PubMed, the content is objective and reliable, and it can save time in consulting information. A researcher in a strategy department stated that the platform's information is practical and its functions are comprehensive, helping to systematically understand information on various supplements, and looks forward to cooperation.
