China-Biotics, Inc. , a leading Chinese manufacturer of biotechnology
products and supplements, engages in
research, development, marketing and
distribution of probiotics as dietary
supplements and bulk food additives.
Probiotics are beneficial, live bacteria
used as dietary supplements and food
additives to improve intestinal health
and digestion. Through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Shanghai Shining Biotechnology
Co., Ltd., the Company has operations
in Shanghai. Its proprietary product
portfolio contains live microbial nutritional
supplements under the “Shining” brand.
Currently, the products are sold OTC
through large distributors to pharmacies
and supermarkets in Shanghai, Jiangsu,
and Zhejiang. China-Biotics has a large retail outlet
network in the Shanghai area.
The Company’s flagship product, “Shining
Essence,” has been a profit driver since
its launch in April 2001. There is significant
demand for probiotics for use in the
bulk additive market, which is currently
met by imports. To meet that demand,
China-Biotics has constructed China's
largest probiotics production facility
in Qingpu Industrial Park of Shanghai
and began commercial production in February
2010.
