Why Do Plants Smell Different, Even on the Same Mountain?
Every leaf has its own scent. And scent is one of the ways plants interact with the world around them.
Research & Botanical Science
Scientific research continues to explore the naturally occurring phytochemicals found in Nanzhu (Vaccinium bracteatum), including plant polyphenols and anthocyanins.
For over 1,500 years, Nanzhu (Wufan) has been part of traditional dietary culture. Today, we continue exploring its botanical potential through independent laboratory research and modern scientific evaluation.

Rooted in Tradition
Why We Invest in Research
At Nanzhu, we believe that traditional knowledge and modern science should complement one another.
While centuries of traditional use provide valuable insights, we continue supporting laboratory research to better understand the biological activities of our botanical formulations.
Our goal is to provide consumers with transparent, evidence-informed information while continuing to improve our products through research.
Independent Laboratory Research
Our formulations have undergone independent third-party laboratory testing conducted in China.
Current laboratory evaluations include preclinical biological activity assessments using internationally recognized zebrafish models to evaluate multiple wellness-related indicators.
Research areas include:
✔ Antioxidant Activity
✔ Immune Support
✔ Gastrointestinal Wellness
✔ Blood Lipid Support*
✔ Blood Glucose Support*
✔ Bone Health Support*
Why Zebrafish?
Zebrafish are one of the world's most widely used preclinical research models.
Because many biological pathways are similar to humans, zebrafish are commonly used by universities, research institutes and pharmaceutical laboratories to evaluate biological activity before human clinical studies.
Their advantages include:
✔ Rapid observation
✔ High genetic similarity
✔ Well-established research standards
✔ International scientific acceptance
Our Research Philosophy
Science is an ongoing journey. We believe meaningful innovation comes from continuous research, transparency, and responsible communication. Current laboratory findings provide valuable scientific insights into the biological potential of our botanical formulations. Future studies, including additional laboratory and human research, will continue expanding our understanding.
Research Transparency
We are committed to making our research more accessible and transparent.
Where appropriate, laboratory reports and scientific information will be shared with consumers as part of our ongoing commitment to scientific integrity.

How Long Does It Take for a Tree to Become Part of a Forest?
A tree may grow alone, but it never truly grows alone.
Why Do Some Plants Prefer Growing in the Mountains?
Many people notice how slowly the tree grows. The Nanzhu tree, however, is focused on how deeply its roots grow first.
