NPA GMP Certifies Chinese Company

WASHINGTONThe Natural Products Association (NPA) issued GMP (good manufacturing practice) certification to a Chinese raw materials supplier. The company is the first in China to earn certification through NPA, joining more than 80 U.S. businesses currently GMP-certified by the association.

Shandong Zhongyuan Greentech Co. Ltd., a China-based dietary ingredient supplier, is a producer of Chondroitin sulfate for the dietary supplement industry, currently supplying the bulk of its materials to the U.S. market. Greentech chose to invest in NPAs GMP certification not only to prove its facility is compliant with FDA regulations, but also to secure its future business.
