Innovation and Research
Construction of Scientific Evidence System and Upgrade of Trust Mechanism
Application of Real-World Research (RWS)
By utilizing a dynamic evidence-based system to collect long-term user health data, we can accurately identify the suitable population and consumption cycles for products, thereby enhancing the scientific validation level of the functionality and safety of health foods and reconstructing the industry's trust mechanism. For example, the "Guidelines for Real-World Research of Health Foods" promotes the industry's shift from experience-driven to data-driven, providing guidance for developing products with a solid scientific foundation.
Precision Nutrition and Personalized Solutions
Based on AI algorithm analysis of individual metabolic data, customized "one-person, one-formula" nutrition plans (such as high-protein foods adapted for GLP-1 weight loss drugs) are developed to meet specific needs like women's health and weight management, enhancing market stickiness.
Green Production Technology and Improvement of Resource Efficiency
Application of Advanced Manufacturing Technology
Supercritical fluid extraction technology avoids residual organic solvents and improves the activity of active ingredients; microencapsulation technology extends the shelf life of easily oxidized components and reduces raw material waste. High-pressure processing technology enhances the stability of food ingredients, meeting the demand for natural health.
Sustainable Sourcing of Raw Materials
Climate-adaptive crops (such as millet and teff) are used to replace water-intensive grains, reducing the carbon footprint; plant-based 2.0 products with simplified formulas (such as plant-based butter containing only 5 ingredients) reduce reliance on ultra-processing.
Strengthening Supply Chain Resilience and Optimizing Risk Management
Scientific Formulation of Material Standards
Research-driven supply chains use experimental data and regulatory analysis to clarify key indicators such as the purity and stability of raw materials, ensuring quality controllability from the source (such as upgrading supplier screening standards).
Digital Risk Early Warning
The Internet of Things and blockchain technology enable end-to-end traceability (such as conflict mineral traceability), improving response speed by 40%; AI prediction models identify risks of raw material shortages or logistics disruptions in advance, supporting the establishment of multi-source supplier layouts.
Coordination of Circular Economy and Ethical Governance
Innovation in Waste Recycling
The recycling rate of industrial solid waste is increased to 75%, and the reverse logistics system optimizes recycling efficiency, reducing reliance on virgin resources.
ESG Transparency and Ethical Sourcing
The supplier ESG scoring system publicly discloses social responsibility performance (such as child labor screening), combined with climate-friendly packaging (such as biodegradable materials), enhancing investor confidence and consumer recognition.
Market Expansion and Adaptation to Consumer Needs
Functional Innovation Drives Market Segmentation
Intestinal health products, combined with scientific backing of the "gut-brain axis" (such as sleep aid drinks containing Hericium erinaceus), open up new scenarios for mood regulation; the return of basic nutrients (such as high-protein oats and probiotic plant milk) meets the "food as medicine" perception.
Response to Aging Demands
Product research and development targeting functions such as bone density enhancement and cardiovascular maintenance align with the global aging trend, unleashing market potential worth tens of billions of dollars.
Innovation and R&D as the Core Engine of Sustainable Supply in the Health Food Industry
Innovation and R&D, through scientific validation, green technology, resilient supply chains, and ethical governance, have become the core engine of sustainable supply in the health food industry. Their value lies not only in cost reduction and efficiency improvement but also in building a "technology-data-ecosystem" collaborative system, driving the industry towards a scientific, low-carbon, and human-centered tra
