Health & Wellness
With our decades of scientific research, Suntory is dedicated to supporting our consumers’ total wellness in this age of 100-year lifespans.
Highest quality from farm to table
We have in place stringent quality controls across the entire supply chain to ensure that our products are efficacious, safe and of the highest quality.
Better breeding environment with pad cooling systems
Our chickens are sourced from fully enclosed poultry farms to prevent human and other contamination. We use precision computing to ensure good cool airflow and effective waste removal. The digital management system ensures optimal activity and breeding temperature for the livestock.
Our chickens are fed with quality animal feed, providing them with proper nutrients without the need for antibiotics and growth hormones.
Bird’s Nest authentication with world-class equipment
To ensure that you are provided with 100% genuine bird’s nest, we use world-class equipment such as Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to analyse bird’s nest to determine the consistency of the DNA curve with pure bird’s nest.
Patented technologies and certificates
We are committed to producing safe, quality products that give you peace of mind when you consume them. Our products are backed by numerous internationally recognised certifications and conform to recognised international manufacturing and safety standards.
We have established the highest standards across the supply chain, from ingredient selection to product manufacturing.
As seen from BRAND’S® Blackcurrant Anthocyanins with Lutein, we use lutein extracted from African marigold, which is highly recommended by experts in the US.
UC-II® (Undenatured Type II Collagen), used in BRAND'S® ActivMove, has received five US patents marking it as a next generation product for joint care.
Stringent implementation of internationally certified manufacturing and safety standards
We have received various international quality standard certifications, including ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO22000, GMP and HACCP.
State of the art manufacturing process
Our manufacturing facilities located in Thailand, Taiwan and Malaysia regularly welcome visitors from government bodies, NGOs and customers to a full and unobstructed view of our manufacturing facilities and equipment. Such transparency ensures you can enjoy our products with peace of mind.
Rigorous inspection to deliver flawless quality
Essence of chicken is extracted in a 10-hour long steam cooking process under high heat and pressure. Each step of the process is carefully monitored and controlled by computers to maintain the optimal temperature and pressure. The product goes through as many as 500 quality control and inspection steps to ensure maximum quality, while any residual fat content is completely removed using advanced technology so that only the nutritious essence remains.
Putting food safety at the forefront
with stringent quality controls
All our products must pass the inspection for heavy metals, over 300 types of pesticide residues, various bacteria including E. coli, staphylococcus and salmonella, as well as six types of plasticizers. No preservatives are added and rigorous quality control procedures are in place at each and every step.
A commitment to research and efficacy
In addition to quality and safety, the efficacy of our products is always a top priority for us. Our team of scientists and researchers ensure that our products are formulated with safe and efficacious natural ingredients, backed by scientific evidence and rigorous tests.
