On 12 November 2025, the Shiyanhui Super Ingredients Conference successfully concluded in Hangzhou. As a nutritional ingredients expert with 26 years of dedicated experience, RICHEN Nutritionals participated with a portfolio of its core ingredients, spotlighting a range of flagship solutions including the EasyTaste flavor-modulating series designed to address flavor challenges, the DC direct-compression granule series tailored to high-efficiency manufacturing, RiviK2® vitamin K2 for bone and cardiovascular health, Rivimix® premixes for customized formulations, Rigaba® γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) for mood and sleep support, and Rimind PS® phosphatidylserine for brain health.
With a comprehensive product portfolio covering multiple application categories such as dairy, beverages, bakery, and functional foods, Richen’ booth attracted a steady stream of new and long-standing customers. The on-site discussions were highly interactive and productive, laying a solid foundation for deeper collaboration in the future.
During the exhibition, Richen was invited to an official interview by the organizer. Wang Hao, Sales Director of Richen, shared insights on trends in nutritional ingredients, the company’s technological and R&D strengths, as well as its core product lines, further enhancing the company’s visibility and influence within the industry.
On the afternoon of 11 November, at the Infant & Children Nutrition Forum, Dr. Chen, Head of Application Technology at the Product Innovation Center of RICHEN Nutritionals, was invited as a keynote speaker. Centering on the topic “Vitamin–Mineral Nutrition Plus Formula Solutions for Children’s Healthy Growth”, Dr. Chen delivered an in-depth presentation that resonated widely with industry participants.
Against the backdrop of an upgrading infant and children nutrition market, parents increasingly prioritize products that are “scientific, safe, and effective,” driving brands to accelerate product innovation and iteration. In response to this trend, Dr. Chen proposed a “Vitamin&Mineral Nutrition Plus Formula Solution” aligned with the physiological growth patterns of infants and children. Based on the core nutritional demands at different developmental stages—such as brain development and bone growth—the solution carefully selects highly bioactive vitamins, minerals, and functional ingredients. Through scientifically designed nutrition formulas, it achieves an optimal “golden combination” of vitamins and minerals, addressing key industry challenges such as synergistic absorption of nutrients and precise supplementation.
In addition, the solution innovatively incorporates compound ingredients such as Rigaba® γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and Rimind PS® phosphatidylserine to provide targeted support for children’s bone development, memory enhancement, and attention cultivation, thereby offering more holistic growth solutions.
During the same conference, the results of the 2025 Very Food Innovation Awards were officially announced. Leveraging its outstanding product quality and technological innovation advantages, Richen’ core ingredient Rigaba® γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was honored with the “Annual Very Emotional Health” award, establishing itself as a benchmark ingredient in the emotional health category.
As both the drafter of China’s GABA industry standard and the original developer of Rigaba®, RICHEN Nutritionals possesses multiple core competitive strengths in raw material quality and technological innovation. Rigaba® GABA is produced via natural lactic acid bacteria fermentation, is non-GMO, and undergoes rigorous strain identification. It contains no synthetic components and has been certified for naturalness by BETA Laboratory, achieving an excellent balance of safety and natural origin. The product features an innovative patented GABA crystal form with purity exceeding 99%. To date, it has been granted five Chinese invention patents and three PCT patents, reflecting a leading technological barrier within the industry.
This award not only represents high recognition from the industry for the strength of the Rigaba® product, but also highlights Richen’ continuous innovation and technological accumulation in the field of functional ingredients.
By engaging in product showcases, forum presentations, and in-depth customer discussions at the Shiyanhui Super Ingredients Conference, Richen further strengthened mutual trust and cooperation with partners across the value chain.
