China is one of the earliest countries to establish the theory of food therapy. Ancient Chinese people once said, "Medicine is better than food," and we firmly believe that as the Chinese nation is on the verge of fully entering a well-off society, the role of diet for the general public has long surpassed the mere need for sustenance or indulgence. Instead, it is about fully harnessing the potential of food to scientifically supplement nutrition, enhance immune function, prevent and treat diseases, and promote health and well-being.
