Introduction
Amid rising tariffs initiated by the U.S., China's imported health supplement sector is facing significant disruption. At the same time, many eyes are turning toward New Zealand, a close trade partner with a strong reputation for purity and quality.
As the leader of a renowned New Zealand-based health supplement manufacturer, Minesh takes great pride in the country’s achievements in the natural health sector.
New Zealand, a pristine land in the southwestern Pacific, stands out in the global health supplement market thanks to its unspoiled natural environment, rich cultural heritage, relentless innovation, and strict regulatory standards.
Later this May, Minesh will be visiting China to attend the 2025 NHNE China International Health and Nutrition Expo in Guangzhou. Leading the Unipharm team, he will share insights into New Zealand’s health industry and outline how the country remains a strong player in the midst of global trade tensions.
1. A Passion for Health and Wellness
In New Zealand, the passion for health and wellness runs deep across society. From factory workers to everyday consumers, there is widespread awareness of the importance of well-being and the critical role of quality supplements.
This passion drives Unipharm to put quality first in everything we do. Every raw material we use is carefully selected, ensuring trusted sourcing and premium quality. Our production processes are continuously refined with the latest technologies and equipment to meet the highest standards
We invest heavily in quality control, employing professional teams and advanced instruments to carry out multi-layered inspections. This relentless commitment to health and quality reflects not just Unipharm's values, but the very spirit of New Zealand's natural health products industry.
2. Pure Quality from the Land
New Zealand’s exceptional natural environment is our greatest asset in producing world-class supplements. The air is clean, the skies a brilliant blue, the pastures vast, and the water crystal clear. With minimal heavy industry and pollution, it provides ideal conditions for growing and harvesting natural ingredients.
Take our dairy sources, for example. New Zealand’s abundant grasslands allow livestock to graze freely year-round, resulting in superior milk quality. Under strict food safety supervision by the New Zealand government, our dairy products are often dubbed the "champagne of milk." Every step from farm to factory adheres to rigorous standards to guarantee purity and safety.
Likewise, our favorable climate nurtures powerful native botanicals such as manuka, renowned worldwide for its antibacterial properties. Using advanced extraction technologies, we retain the natural bioactivity of ingredients like manuka honey to create potent and trustworthy products.
3. The Wisdom of Tradition Meets Modern Science
One of New Zealand’s key strengths is the fusion of indigenous knowledge with scientific innovation. For centuries, the Māori people have used native plants to support health. Today, this traditional wisdom continues to inspire modern research and development.
Unipharm's R&D team actively studies Māori herbal practices, identifying valuable properties and optimizing them with modern extraction and formulation techniques. For example, one of our joint health supplements is based on traditional botanicals but scientifically enhanced to ensure safety and effectiveness.
In collaboration with research institutions, we apply cutting-edge technologies to maximize efficacy, control quality, and continuously improve. This integration of tradition and science allows us to create world-class natural supplements that meet the growing global demand for health and wellness
4. Innovation as a Driving Force
In a highly competitive global market, innovation is what keeps us ahead. At Unipharm, we partner closely with Crown Research Institutes in New Zealand to develop science-backed, customized products.
Through deep research into native fruits, our scientists have identified unique bioactive compounds and integrated them into our formulations. For instance, we developed an antioxidant supplement enriched with locally sourced fruit extracts. By using advanced biotech and data-driven formulation, the product delivers superior antioxidant benefits.
We also explore new raw materials and sustainable production methods to meet evolving consumer needs—from personalized solutions to eco-friendly manufacturing. These innovations set Unipharm apart and strengthen New Zealand’s reputation in the global natural health product industry.
Unipharm’s presence at NHNE 2025 in Guangzhou is more than an exhibition – it's a statement of commitment: to natural purity, to scientific advancement, and to global wellness. We invite you to experience the power of New Zealand health manufacturing, where tradition, innovation, and nature unite.
