Against the backdrop of upgraded health consumption and the deep-rooted concept of "prevention over treatment," dietary supplements have evolved from "nutritional compensation tools" to core carriers of precision nutrition management, becoming a daily necessity for global households. From basic vitamin supplementation to targeted function regulation, the dietary supplement market is expanding rapidly with the core trends of "functional specialization, ingredient precision, and scenario segmentation." Leveraging over a decade of supply chain management experience in fine chemicals, our company integrates high-quality raw material resources from North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia to build a dietary supplement raw material matrix covering 20+ high-activity ingredients (including NAD+, NMNH, Glutathione, S-acetyl-L-glutathione, Spermidine, Tetrahydrocurcumin, Pterostilbene, Dihydroberberine, Vitamin B12, NADH, NADP, 5-ALA, FAD, APAD), supporting global health brands in creating differentiated products with pharmaceutical-grade purity standards.

1. The "Precision" Evolution of Dietary Supplements: From Basic Nutrition to Targeted Conditioning

      Origin & Development TrendsDietary supplements first emerged in the early 20th century, focusing on basic nutrients (e.g., vitamins, minerals) to address nutritional deficiencies caused by monotonous diets. In the 21st century, driven by biotechnological breakthroughs (e.g., enzyme-directed synthesis, nano-encapsulation) and the upgrading of consumers' demand for "proactive health," functional precision supplements have become the market mainstream—by 2024, functional dietary supplements accounted for over 65% of the global market, with "cellular anti-aging," "metabolic regulation," and "neural function maintenance" ingredients growing the fastest.

      In the past, dietary supplements only compensated for nutritional gaps in daily diets. However, as lifestyles accelerate, diets change, and populations age, people face health issues like poor sleep, low immunity, and reduced cognitive function—making single basic nutrition insufficient. Against this backdrop, functional dietary supplements, which add active ingredients with specific physiological functions, have upgraded from "basic nutrition" to "precision conditioning."

2. Core Ingredients: Mechanisms & Diverse Applications

   Our raw materials compete with "clear physiological action targets," covering segments like anti-aging, immune regulation, and metabolic support, and have adapted to mainstream global dietary supplement forms:

Anti-aging

NAD+, the core coenzyme for cellular energy metabolism, declines by over 50% with age. Supplementing its precursor NMNH activates mitochondrial function through the NAD+ synthesis pathway and delays telomere shortening; Spermidine clears senescent cells by activating the autophagy pathway, and a 2023 clinical study showed it improves cellular vitality in middle-aged and elderly groups by 32%; Tetrahydrocurcumin offers strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects; Pterostilbene (a natural active substance) has high bioavailability and notable anti-aging benefits.

Immune regulation

Glutathione (an endogenous antioxidant) boosts immunity and scavenges free radicals; S-acetyl-L-glutathione, with its lipophilic structure, has 4x higher intestinal absorption rate than ordinary glutathione, increasing blood antioxidant levels within 12 hours.

Metabolic support

Dihydroberberine gently regulates blood sugar and lipids by modulating gut flora (increasing Bifidobacterium proportion), suitable for chronic disease prevention; 5-ALA participates in cellular energy metabolism; FAD (a metabolism-related coenzyme) enhances metabolic efficiency.

Basic nutrition reinforcement

Vitamin B12 (essential for the nervous system and hematopoiesis) promotes myelin synthesis and maintains nerve function stability.

Product Form AdaptationThese ingredients are widely used in:

Oral preparations: Tablets (e.g., Vitamin B12 tablets), capsules (e.g., NAD+ enteric-coated capsules), suitable for daily convenient supplementation;

Powders/drops: e.g., NMNH freeze-dried powder, 5-ALA drops, meeting the stability requirements of high-activity ingredients;

Functional food additives: e.g., Tetrahydrocurcumin added to meal replacement shakes, Spermidine incorporated into anti-aging granola bars, covering the "snack health" scenario.

3. Global Market Trends: Asia-Pacific as Growth Engine, Quality & Compliance as Competitive Barriers

      Market Size & Regional DynamicsAccording to the 2025 Grand View Research report, the global dietary supplement market will exceed $320 billion by 2028, with the Asia-Pacific region growing at a CAGR of 8.7% (far exceeding the 5.2% of European and American markets), driven by rising health awareness and accelerated aging in China, India, etc. Meanwhile, demand for "naturally sourced + clinically validated" ingredients in European and American markets has surged—sales of plant-derived ingredients such as Pterostilbene and Tetrahydrocurcumin in the U.S. market grew by 41% YoY in 2024.

      Currently, consumers have shifted from "focusing on ingredient availability" to "focusing on raw material quality and efficacy authenticity," putting forward higher requirements for raw material traceability, purity, and safety.
