Top 5 private label supplements manufacturer​ in China

The top health supplement OEM/ODM manufacturers in China are SIRIO PHARMA, Jiabeikang, ALAND, Lily Holdings (Baihe), and Kangel — five contract manufacturers that between them cover nearly every dosage form a brand could want, from softgels and tablets to gummies, powders, and liquid drops. If you’re a brand owner sourcing a manufacturing partner rather than shopping for a finished consumer product, these are the names that come up most often, and each one earns its place for a different reason.

This list is built for brands evaluating a manufacturing partner, not consumers comparing retail supplement brands. That distinction matters: household names like By-Health or Amway sell finished products directly to shoppers, while the companies below build products para other brands. Scale, certifications, and formulation flexibility are what separate them — not shelf presence.

How These Manufacturers Compare

1. SIRIO PHARMA

Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Shantou, Guangdong, SIRIO PHARMA is the largest and most established name on this list — and the only one publicly traded, listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange’s ChiNext board since 2019 under stock code 300791.

Vantagens:

• Seven automated production bases and five R&D centers spanning China, Europe, and the Americas
• Over 30 years of nutraceutical CDMO (contract development and manufacturing) experience, serving clients in more than 50 countries
• Full dosage-form range: softgels, gummies, tablets, powders, oral liquids, and probiotic formats
• 18+ international quality certifications, plus a European plant (Ayanda) focused on pharmaceutical-grade and complex softgel formulations
• Strongest fit for brands that need large-volume production and a manufacturer with public-market accountability

2. Jiabeikang

Founded in 2022 and based in Guangzhou, Guangdong, Jiabeikang is the youngest company on this list — and the one built specifically around private label and small-to-mid-scale brand partnerships rather than volume manufacturing alone.

Vantagens:

• Deep specialization in gummy formats, including harder-to-formulate actives like creatine and apple cider vinegar gummies, alongside shilajit, vitamins, and glutathione supplements
• Full certification stack: 6MPQS export food base certification, ISO22000, HACCP, FDA, HALAL, BRCGS, GMP, and TUV
• One-stop service model covering private label, ODM, OEM, contract manufacturing, and packing under one roof
• More flexible MOQs and faster sampling turnaround than the larger, publicly listed players on this list — a meaningful advantage for newer or smaller brands testing a formula before committing to a full production run
• Best fit for DTC and e-commerce brands that need speed, formulation flexibility, and a manufacturer willing to work at smaller scale

3. ALAND

Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Jingjiang, Jiangsu, ALAND is the most internationally built-out manufacturer on this list, with a genuinely global footprint rather than a China-based export operation.

Vantagens:

• 11 production bases and 4 international R&D centers across Asia, North America, and Europe
• Over 5,000 employees and a sales presence in more than 80 countries and regions
• The first Chinese nutritional supplement company to pass USP (United States Pharmacopeia) dietary supplement cGMP certification
• Owns Nutra Manufacturing (acquired from GNC’s supply chain) in South Carolina, giving it direct U.S. manufacturing capacity
• Best fit for brands that need a manufacturing partner with an established presence in Western retail and regulatory environments already built in

4. Lily Holdings (Baihe)

Founded in 2005 and based in Weihai, Shandong, Lily Holdings — known domestically as Baihe (百合股份) — was the first nutritional supplement company to list on China’s main board (Shanghai Stock Exchange, stock code 603102), doing so in January 2022.

Vantagens:

• 855 health food approval certificates and filings, one of the broadest regulatory portfolios among Chinese supplement manufacturers
• Ten-plus dosage forms in production, including softgels, hard capsules, tablets, powders, drops, bottled and packaged beverages, oral liquids, and gummies
• Products exported to more than 70 countries, with particular depth in bone health, cardiovascular support, and foundational nutrition categories
• Owns multiple proprietary consumer brands (Baihekang, Hongyangshen, and others), giving it direct market feedback that feeds back into its contract manufacturing know-how
• Best fit for brands wanting a manufacturer with deep regulatory filing experience across a wide functional category range

5. Kangel

Founded in 2010 and based in Guangzhou, Guangdong, Kangel is the most narrowly specialized manufacturer on this list, focused almost entirely on maternal and infant nutrition rather than the broader supplement category.

Vantagens:

• Deep focus on probiotics, algae oil DHA softgels, and milk calcium softgels formulated specifically for pregnant women, infants, and children
• Formulations built around China’s official Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNIs) rather than generic international dosing standards
• Manufacturing facilities that meet both GMP pharmaceutical and GMP health-product standards, with more than a dozen quality control checkpoints from raw material sourcing to finished product
• Best fit for brands building specifically in the maternal, infant, or early childhood nutrition category, where category-specific formulation expertise matters more than broad dosage-form range

What This Comparison Actually Shows?

Line these five up side by side, and a pattern shows up fast: manufacturing scale and formulation flexibility tend to move in opposite directions. SIRIO PHARMA and ALAND compete on global infrastructure — production bases spread across continents, public-market accountability, decades of certifications. Lily Holdings competes on regulatory depth, with more approved health-food filings than most competitors. Kangel wins by going narrow, owning one category (maternal and infant nutrition) instead of trying to cover all of them.

Jiabeikang sits in a different spot on that spectrum entirely. It’s not trying to out-scale SIRIO or out-file Lily Holdings — its advantage is speed and flexibility at a size the bigger players aren’t built to serve well. A newer brand wanting to test three gummy SKUs before committing to a six-figure production run is going to get a faster, more attentive response from a manufacturer built around private label partnerships than from a publicly traded CDMO running seven factories across three continents.

Conclusão

None of these five manufacturers is the “best” one in an absolute sense — the right pick depends entirely on where a brand sits. A large retail brand launching a national softgel line needs SIRIO PHARMA’s or ALAND’s scale and global regulatory track record. A brand building specifically in maternal and infant nutrition is better served by Kangel’s category depth. And a newer or mid-sized brand trying to move fast on gummy formats — testing formulas, iterating on flavor, and scaling gradually rather than committing to a massive first run — is exactly the use case Jiabeikang was built to serve.

For brands weighing their options, the most useful next step isn’t picking a name off this list — it’s matching the manufacturer’s actual strength to the specific stage the brand is at.
