Sunrider International: The Company Behind the Products
Who they are, what they actually manufacture, and the only place the products are sold at official pricing.
What is Sunrider International?
Sunrider International is a privately held manufacturer of whole-food herbal nutrition, personal care and household products, founded in 1982 by Dr. Tei-Fu Chen and Oi-Lin Chen, M.D., and headquartered in Torrance, California. Unlike most supplement brands, Sunrider owns its farms, extraction facilities, laboratories and manufacturing plants, so formulation, concentration and packaging happen in-house rather than through contract manufacturers. Products are sold direct through us.sunrider.com and through Independent Business Owners rather than in retail stores, which is why you rarely see the brand on a shelf and why marketplace listings are resold stock. Best known products include NuPlus, Quinary, Calli tea, Fortune Delight, VitaShake and SunBreeze oil and balm.

Where is Sunrider Corporation located?
Corporate headquarters and primary manufacturing are in Torrance, California, with additional owned facilities in the United States and Asia. Sunrider operates in dozens of countries through regional offices.
Is Sunrider a real manufacturer or just a label?
It is a manufacturer. Sunrider grows or sources its own herbs and runs its own extraction, formulation, testing and packaging facilities, which is unusual in the supplement category where most brands outsource to contract manufacturers.
What is Sunrider's philosophy of regeneration?
Sunrider formulates on the principle that whole foods in balance nourish the body's own regenerating systems, rather than isolating single chemical actives. Formulas combine herbs for balance rather than megadosing one compound.
