We own the only national functional food technology platform and cooperate globally with Novozymes, Bayer, Fonterra and other leading biotech brands. Supported by Wuxi Medical College and its affiliated hospitals, we integrate academic research, clinical verification and industrial mass production.
We operate 4 large self-owned manufacturing bases and 1 R&D center in Shanghai, covering total plant area over 300,000 ㎡. Our production equipment includes Asia’s largest fermentation tanks, world-class GEA aseptic disc centrifuges, ultra-large vacuum freeze dryers and exclusive liquid nitrogen cryogenic granulation machines. Annual output reaches 1,800 tons probiotic raw powder & postbiotics, 10 billion capsules and 10 billion tablets/sachets. Our team consists of over 100 professional staff with 20+ years industrialization experience.
2. Massive Proprietary Strain Library
We have built a comprehensive strain bank with over 30,000 microbial strains, including 25,300 primary 16S rRNA strains, 13,720 draft-genome strains and 8,046 full-genome strains. Strains are isolated from longevity elder gut, infant feces, breast milk, traditional fermented food and fresh fruits & vegetables.
We equip more than 30 sets of in vitro, cellular, animal and clinical screening models to evaluate strain functions, covering gut barrier, metabolism, immunity, inflammation, mental health, oral care, heavy metal detoxification and sub-health intervention. Our portfolio contains 189 patented functional strains categorized into gut health, metabolic management, immune regulation, oral health, women’s care, skin care, mental wellness and next-generation probiotics (NGP). Highlight clinical validated strains include Akkermansia muciniphila AH39, Bifidobacterium breve CCFM1025, L. plantarum CCFM1143, L. rhamnosus GG, L. reuteri CCFM1040 and CCFM8724.
3. Core VPro® 5-Layer Microencapsulation Technology
Our self-developed VPro® five-layer embedding technology solves core industrial pain points like acid, bile, oxygen and freezing damage to probiotics:
Micromolecular protective layer: anti-freezing & anti-stress
Prebiotic nutrition layer: support in-vivo proliferation
Liposome enteric adhesion layer: boost intestinal colonization
Acid & enzyme resistant layer: survive gastric digestion
Oxygen & moisture barrier layer: extend shelf stability
This technology lifts freeze-drying survival rate by 40%, prolongs shelf life to 24 months, and achieves fermentation density above 3.5×10¹⁰ CFU/mL with lyophilized powder concentration up to 8.0×10¹¹ CFU/g. Combined with high-density ion-exchange culture, automatic feedback feeding and biofilm stabilization techniques, we deliver ultra-high viable count raw materials suitable for long-distance export and high-temperature food processing.
4. Featured Strains & Clinically Verified Functions
Next-Generation Probiotics Star: Akkermansia muciniphila AH39
US self-affirmed GRAS certified, exclusively for metabolic management. It strengthens intestinal mucus layer, stimulates GLP-1 secretion, improves insulin resistance, lowers blood glucose and fat accumulation, reduces pro-inflammatory IL-6, and balances short-chain fatty acids (acetate & propionate). Widely applied in premium weight management and metabolic health supplements.
Classic Clinical Strains
Bifidobacterium breve CCFM1025: Improves sleep, relieves stress via gut-brain axis, alleviates depression
Lactobacillus reuteri CCFM1040: Reduces allergic rhinitis & asthma symptoms, balances inflammatory cytokines
L. plantarum CCFM8724: Prevents children dental caries, inhibits oral pathogenic bacteria
L. plantarum CCFM1143: Eases diarrhea, regulates intestinal metabolism for body weight control
L. rhamnosus GG: Gold-standard strain for gut immunity, infant digestive care, globally recognized safe
B. longum CCFM760: Relieves constipation, optimizes gut flora, synergizes GLP-1 secretion with AH39
We also provide targeted compound formulas for depression relief, sleep support, allergic immunity, women vaginal health and GLP-1 metabolic management (HelpGut® GLP1 Pre-Pro-Post complex).
