Using Cocrystal Technology to Solve Raw Material Pain Points and Drive the Innovation and Upgrade of Nutritional Ingredients

Cocrystal Technology Appears at the Consumer Expo | Mei Xuefeng: Using Cocrystal Technology to Solve Raw Material Pain Points and Drive the Innovation and Upgrade of Nutritional Ingredients

On April 13, 2026, the 6th China International Consumer Products Expo was grandly held in Hainan. During the event, the Douyin E-commerce Global Purchase Cross-border Dietary Supplement Expert Forum was successfully convened. Mei Xuefeng, founder of Cocrystal Technology and Director of the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, was invited to attend. He gave a keynote speech on the theme "Synthetic Biology Technology and Cocrystal Technology Jointly Drive Ingredient Innovation and Upgrade", deeply analyzing industry raw material pain points, the advantages of cocrystal technology, and the direction of industrial development. He also elaborated on the technical implementation value of cocrystal reduced coenzyme Q10, injecting technological momentum into the high-quality development of the big health dietary supplement industry.

Currently, the big health dietary supplement industry is moving from conceptual innovation to effective implementation. Upstream raw materials and technology have become the core of industry competition. Mei Xuefeng pointed out during the forum that traditional dietary ingredients still face many practical challenges in application. Poor solubility, instability, and difficult absorption are common industry pain points that directly affect the stable performance of ingredient efficacy. At the same time, traditional formulation technologies still have limitations in drug loading, cost control, and large-scale production, making it difficult to meet the market's demand for high-quality, high-certainty nutritional products.

Facing these common industry challenges, cocrystal technology provides a practical and effective solution. Mei Xuefeng introduced that cocrystal technology, without changing the molecular structure of the ingredients, can improve the stability, solubility, and bioavailability of functional raw materials fundamentally through molecular-level formulation optimization. This allows more "poorly absorbed" ingredients to achieve "good utilization", providing a more solid scientific foundation for product efficacy.

Looking towards future industrial development, cocrystal technology has significant advantages and strong driving forces. On the one hand, the technology has a wide range of adaptability, capable of upgrading and achieving breakthroughs in various functional ingredients with broad application scenarios. On the other hand, its industrial advantages are outstanding, performing better in terms of drug loading, cost control, and large-scale implementation, effectively promoting the transition of cutting-edge scientific research results from the laboratory to market application. More importantly, cocrystal technology is based on scientific evidence, highly aligning with the industry's development trends towards compliance, standardization, and scientification. It is a key technological support for driving ingredient upgrades and building core product competitiveness.

As a benchmark application of cocrystal technology, Cocrysta® Reduced Coenzyme Q10 fully demonstrates the mature value of technological implementation. Relying on cocrystal technology optimization, this ingredient achieves comprehensive improvements in stability, solubility, and bioavailability. It can function more stably and efficiently, effectively compensating for the shortcomings of traditional formulations in practical applications. It provides more reliable and efficient raw material solutions for important health scenarios such as cardiovascular health and cellular energy support, and also offers robust support for brands to create differentiated products and achieve high-quality upgrades.

At this Consumer Expo forum, cocrystal technology received wide recognition from platforms, experts, and the industry. Participating guests generally agreed that the deep integration of cocrystal technology and synthetic biology will comprehensively reshape the core competitiveness of dietary raw materials, becoming a key force in driving the industry towards a new stage driven by technology.

In the future, Cocrystal Technology will continue to deepen innovation and industrial application of cocrystal technology, persistently optimizing benchmark raw materials like cocrystal reduced coenzyme Q10, and connecting the entire chain of "scientific research innovation – large-scale production – market application". At the same time, the company will further strengthen in-depth cooperation with platforms like Douyin E-commerce Global Purchase and upstream and downstream partners in the industry, empowering product upgrades with technology, building consumer trust with solid evidence, and assisting China's big health dietary supplement industry in steadily advancing towards a safer, more efficient, and more standardized direction.
