R&D Capabilities
End-to-End Full-Chain Service Capabilities
Unlike traditional contract manufacturing models that only handle the production phase, Zhongke Zhigu redefines the partnership model with a full-chain service approach, offering clients one-stop solutions covering the entire product lifecycle. Whether a client is at the brand launch, category expansion, or global scaling stage, they receive tailored professional support:
R&D — Formulation Development & Efficacy Design
Our cross-disciplinary R&D team integrates traditional Chinese medicine, modern nutrition science, food science, and AI-driven data analytics. Drawing on our Oriental Botanical Nutrition Knowledge Graph and a global bioactive ingredient database, we deliver full-cycle R&D services—from market insight and concept design to formulation optimization—across all categories including functional foods, dietary supplements, and sports nutrition.
EXTRACT — In-House Botanical Extraction & Raw Material Precision Control
We operate an industry-rare in-house botanical extraction facility, controlling the complete process chain from premium raw material sourcing and active compound extraction/purification to standardized ingredient mass production. By combining traditional Chinese pharmacological theories with advanced supercritical extraction and membrane separation technologies, we maximize retention of natural bioactive compounds while ensuring raw material purity and batch-to-batch consistency at industry-leading levels.
MANUFACTURE — AI-Powered Lights-Out Factory Smart Manufacturing
Our proprietary AI-powered lights-out factory is fully equipped with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), machine vision, and intelligent robotics, enabling 24/7 fully automated operations across the entire production process—from dosing, blending, and filling to inspection and packaging. Flexible smart production lines allow rapid switching between multiple dosage forms including softgels, tablets, capsules, powders, gummies, and oral liquids, meeting the diverse customization needs of OEM/ODM clients.
QA — Full-Chain Quality Control & Compliant Delivery
We have established a quality management system built on the principles of "full-process, zero-tolerance, and full traceability," equipped with advanced physicochemical analysis, microbiological testing, and heavy metal residue detection instruments. A triple-inspection protocol is applied at raw material receiving, in-process production, and finished product release. Our digital traceability system covers the entire supply chain—every batch and every step is fully auditable.
Technology & Innovation Investment
Zhongke Zhigu regards R&D innovation as the primary growth driver, with strategic focus on four key technology areas:
high-efficiency extraction and purification of botanical active compounds;
AI-driven intelligent formulation recommendation and efficacy prediction systems;
personalized nutrition solutions powered by consumer big data;
development and commercialization of advanced delivery systems (such as liposomal encapsulation, microencapsulated sustained release, and nanoemulsion technologies).
The company has established industry-academia-research partnerships with multiple universities and research institutions, building an open innovation ecosystem.
