· Interviewer — market context and introductions
In recent years, functional gummy supplements, represented by creatine gummies, have rapidly emerged as a global market phenomenon and become a new favorite among health-conscious younger consumers. But how can gummies made in China successfully overcome the rigorous requirements of international markets and truly become part of consumers' everyday lives around the world? Today, we're honored to welcome Mr. Lixiang Xiao, General Manager of Sucotond (Guangzhou) Health Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and Ms. Zhao Wei, Senior Director, Food, Life Sciences and Audit Delivery, Greater China, NSF. Mr. Xiao, as a professional supplier specializing in gummy products, Sucotond has achieved remarkable success in both domestic and international markets in recent years. I understand that after attaining NSF certification, your creatine gummies were successfully launched on Amazon and are now being sold overseas. In addition, more than 70 popular products are planned for NSF certification in the future. What has motivated Sucotond to so firmly embrace NSF standards across its product portfolio?
· Lixiang Xiao — certification rationale
As a practitioner in health foods, I firmly believe quality is a company's lifeline. Creatine is one of the most sought-after ingredients in global sports nutrition, and overseas markets demand extremely high safety and compliance. We chose NSF GMP and NSF/ANSI 173 product certification to refine our products to internationally recognized standards. This is not only about gaining access to major platforms such as Amazon. More importantly, it is about building complete trust among consumers worldwide in gummies made in China.
· Interviewer — NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP question
Many industry peers know that NSF/ANSI 455-2 is widely regarded as the international gold standard for dietary supplement GMP certification. Unlike regular food GMP standards, it establishes much stricter controls tailored specifically to the unique characteristics of dietary supplements. Ms. Zhao, could you help us understand the core value of this certification and explain which features of Sucotond's facility meet leading international standards?
· Zhao Wei — GMP system and surveillance audits
Ordinary food GMP is not the same as dietary supplement GMP. NSF/ANSI 455 GMP was the world's first dietary supplement GMP standard and remains the only American National Standard specifically dedicated to dietary supplements. It requires companies to establish a complete quality management system and undergo annual surveillance audits, effectively preventing situations where a facility passes a one-time audit but later fails to maintain standards. For manufacturers, obtaining NSF GMP certification signifies a transition away from non-standardized production practices. It serves as the foundation for delivering consistent product quality. It also supports access to premium domestic and international distribution channels while minimizing manufacturing risks.
· Interviewer and Lixiang Xiao — label review and declarations
Once production standards are addressed, consumers naturally focus on whether products truly deliver what their labels promise. Many dietary supplements on the market suffer from unclear labeling, exaggerated claims or inaccurate ingredient declarations. These issues remain major concerns for consumers. Let's turn to another key advantage of NSF/ANSI 173 certification: rigorous label review. Today's consumers are increasingly knowledgeable. Young consumers buying sports nutrition products, such as creatine, are especially ingredient-conscious. They expect more than a tasty gummy. They want real, effective nutritional support. That is a key reason we value NSF/ANSI 173 product certification. Some creatine gummies on the market may have unclear dosage declarations or insufficient transparency about inactive ingredients, making informed choices difficult for consumers. NSF/ANSI 173 requires rigorous product label review. Technical experts thoroughly verify ingredient safety, authenticity and regulatory compliance, ensuring there are no exaggerated claims, omissions or misleading declarations. Because of this comprehensive compliance framework, our products can meet the requirements of international e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, enabling faster listing and global distribution. That is one of the key advantages NSF certification brings to cross-border brands.
· Interviewer and Zhao Wei — product testing discussion
Beyond compliant manufacturing and accurate labeling, ingredient safety and the absence of harmful contaminants are essential to dietary supplements. Ms. Zhao, could you explain the rigorous testing involved in NSF/ANSI 173 certification and what this means for consumers? NSF/ANSI 173 is one of the most recognized dietary supplement product certifications worldwide. Unlike ordinary third-party testing, it is not a one-time or single-parameter analysis. It is a complete quality assurance system designed to evaluate products from multiple dimensions. For nutrition products such as Sucotond's creatine gummies, NSF/ANSI 173 certification focuses on two major categories of testing. First, precise verification of active ingredient content ensures that creatine is present at the declared amount and capable of delivering its intended function. Second, comprehensive screening covers heavy metals, microorganisms, contaminants and substances prohibited in sport. This helps prevent contamination and safety risks that may arise during manufacturing. For consumers, the meaning is straightforward. When a product earns NSF/ANSI 173 certification, it indicates that the product is manufactured in compliance with recognized standards, accurately labeled and verified for ingredient safety. It is a compliant dietary supplement that consumers can feel confident using over the long term. This certification also helps consumers avoid marketplace pitfalls involving ineffective, non-compliant or misleading products.
· Zhao Wei — Certified for Sport and certification layers
NSF Certified for Sport is one of the most rigorous sports product certifications globally. In the United States, creatine is among the most popular sports supplements, and many creatine brands apply for Certified for Sport certification. Brands associated with high-profile athletes and public figures have voluntarily pursued this certification to provide a clear, authoritative endorsement of product safety. In summary, NSF GMP controls the manufacturing system, while NSF/ANSI 173 and Certified for Sport verify the finished product. Together, they provide dual protection for dietary supplements.
· Interviewer and Lixiang Xiao — future plans and industry outlook
Mr. Xiao, Sucotond plans to submit more than 70 additional products for NSF certification. Could you share a vision for the company's future and the broader industry? With significant product similarity across the industry, compliance, standardization and internationalization are the only sustainable path forward. Using our dual-certified creatine gummies as a benchmark, we will apply the same mature manufacturing controls, quality systems, testing protocols and compliance frameworks to more than 70 popular products. These products span sports nutrition, daily wellness and light nutritional supplementation. Our goal goes beyond upgrading our own brand. We hope our certification journey provides a practical reference for industry peers and helps the functional food sector align with international best practices. We want Chinese-made functional gummies to reach global markets, earn consumers' trust and demonstrate that excellent taste can come with verified safety and efficacy.
· Interviewer — closing summary
Thank you both very much for sharing such valuable insights. For industry peers, NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP production certification strengthens manufacturing foundations, while NSF/ANSI 173 product certification helps overcome compliance and market-access barriers. Together, they provide a critical competitive advantage for dietary supplement brands seeking global growth. For consumers, the NSF blue certification mark represents compliant manufacturing, accurate labeling and ingredient safety, helping them make informed choices and avoid misleading health products. Going forward, NSF will continue working with outstanding companies such as Sucotond to promote compliant, high-quality and internationally competitive development of China's health and wellness industry through globally recognized standards.
· Lixiang Xiao, interviewer and Zhao Wei — certificate presentation
Thank you for NSF's support. We will keep innovating and bring high-quality, intelligently manufactured Chinese gummies to consumers worldwide. Finally, I would like to invite Ms. Zhao to present Sucotond's NSF/ANSI 173 product certification certificate to Mr. Xiao on behalf of NSF. Having listened to Mr. Xiao's insights today, I can confidently say that Sucotond truly deserves this recognition. Congratulations to Sucotond and to Mr. Xiao.
