In the face of environmental pressures and internal disorder, the latent power and blossoming within plants are continuously reshaping and innovating the concept of food and medicine being derived from the same source.

Faced with environmental pressure and internal disorder, the hidden power and blooming of plants are continuously reshaping and innovating the concept of food and medicine being of the same origin. In consumer perception, herbal plant ingredients are seen as more natural and healthy, and traditional food and medicine products like ginseng, goji berries, donkey-hide gelatin, and reishi mushrooms, which have high recognition, ranked among the top in market sales in 2023. At the same time, the nutritional value of lesser-known food and medicine ingredients like kudzu root, jujube seeds, astragalus, polygonatum, and dendrobium is gradually being recognized by consumers, and nutritional dietary foods using these herbal plants as additives are gradually entering the public consumption view.

In the era of food efficacy, technological innovation and iteration have made rare Chinese herbal medicines "fly into the homes of ordinary people." However, the unpalatability and low utilization of medicinal materials are becoming brand barriers. How can the thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine culture be combined with modern technology to recreate the aesthetics of health preservation? With 37 years of deep cultivation in the nutritional food field, focusing on the innovation, efficiency, and safety of ingredients, we are deeply researching natural plant ingredient extraction and fermentation technology, innovating classic Chinese formulas, and bringing a selected series of food and medicine products from Genlai Biotechnology.

Bi-directional fermentation technology - a pearl of traditional Chinese medicine that has been iterated for thousands of years

As early as over a thousand years ago, our country began to apply microbial fermentation in the processing of traditional Chinese medicine, becoming one of the earliest countries in the world to utilize microorganisms for the biotransformation of natural medicines.

Deeply cultivating biotransformation technology, leading the health trend of herbal plants

Microbial fermentation technology is a technique that utilizes the metabolic capacity of microorganisms to convert substrates to obtain target active products in a directed manner. In recent years, as the popularity of plant extracts continues to rise, barriers have continued to increase, sparking a trend of food and medicine being of the same origin. The core ingredient of SK-II, Pitera™, Lamer's MiracleBroth™, and the ingredient of Chando, Ximoyin®, are all products of biological fermentation.

In the food field, the new application development of food and medicine ingredients mainly tackles the problems of low bioavailability and instability of effective substances in natural herbal materials such as ginseng, reishi, and cistanche. Most traditional Chinese herbal medicines have unavoidable issues in food applications, such as low bioavailability, tendency to cause internal heat, and bitter or sour taste, which not only greatly reduce the efficacy of the ingredients but also affect the consumer's eating experience.

By introducing internationally advanced supercritical fluid extraction and biological liquid fermentation technology equipment, Genlai Biotechnology gathers research talents in the field of biological nutrition and collaborates with multiple universities to achieve technological breakthroughs, realizing a high degree of integration between biotransformation technology applications and the market, breaking through the homogenization of the functional food market of food and medicine being of the same origin, and enhancing the quality and efficiency of brand products.

With 37 years of accumulation, linking global raw material databases, Genlai Biotechnology continuously explores and innovates functional food production technology, committed to the development of ingredient utilization of Chinese herbal medicines and other crops, promoting the development and efficacy application of natural safe food raw materials, and creating new functional food technology barriers for customers.

Using dozens of dosage forms such as bottled drinks, stick packs, bagged jelly, pressed candies, and powders to meet diverse consumption scenarios, and providing a full-chain service from raw material procurement, processing production to consumer market insights. We hope to bring safe, high-quality, and professionally effective nutritional products to people around the world, conveying a happier and healthier lifestyle, and bringing the meaning and feeling of happiness!
