"Market demand for probiotics in China is increasing at a rapid pace as higher standards of living encourage consumers to become more health conscious," said Crocker Coulson, President of CCG Elite.

Designed by an engineer specializing in pharmaceutical delivery systems, the UltraZorbe™ (Ultraabsorption) capletting process enables these formulas to retain their enzymes and probiotics to ensure proper delivery of nutrients. Each caplet provides up to twice the active ingredient as other formulas due to their compact nature. Great respect is given to disintegration and dissolution times. Many encapsulated formulas have a tendency to become encased in a gelatin-like blob that is never fully broken down... causing the nutrients to pass through the digestive tract unabsorbed. Most conventionally produced caplets use ineffective binders and excipients that can cause similar problems.

In November 2007, China-Biotics received local government approval to begin construction on a proposed 150-metric-ton-per-year manufacturing facility, in order to meet expanding demand for probiotics in the bulk additive market. Phase 1 of the project, which will cost an estimated $18 million, is expected to be completed near the end of the second quarter of the 2009 fiscal year.
