Herb-Paths by Vivaltes is not generative AI; it's a tailor-made data platform that predicts herb-health links using scientifically validated data, driving faster, smarter supplement innovation.

The consumers of today, and certainly of tomorrow, are more informed than ever and growing increasingly discerning in their choice of supplements. No longer swayed by vague marketing claims, they demand products that are natural, backed by robust science, and proven to work. At the heart of this shift is a call for authenticity and innovation: original, clinically validated health solutions that rise above the noise of an overcrowded market.
For nutraceutical brands and ingredient suppliers this isn't just a challenge, it’s a golden opportunity. Companies that invest in proprietary, science-supported ingredients are poised to lead the next wave of industry transformation. Naturally, developing such ingredients requires cutting-edge tools that bridge traditional plant knowledge with modern scientific discovery.
To meet these challenges, Vivaltes has developed Herb-Paths, an all-in-one data platform that predicts and links herbs and herbal compounds to validated health effects. Herb-Paths provides users with:
Herb-Paths goes beyond generative AI. Herb-Paths has been built from the ground-up, incorporating scientifically validated data on more than 14,000 plants, 160,000 plant compounds, and 162,000 human health effects. While many traditional AI models excel at conversation, text generation, and media creation (trained on broad internet-scale data), they lack the capability to actively compute and predict connections between herbs and their health effects. In contrast, Herb-Paths is tailor-made to discover, analyse, and predict the health benefits of herbs and herbal compounds. It goes beyond a simple chat tool, offering data-driven insights for the discovery of novel herbal-health products at the click of a button.
With Herb-Paths you don’t just react to market trends, you create them. Herb-Paths reduces R&D timelines, eliminates guesswork, and brings innovative, high-impact products to market faster and more confidently.
