Food supplements in Russia have a Siberian soul: According to AnalyticResearchGroup, in 2020, over half of Russian food supplements were produced in Siberia. The region's scientific potential and the diversity of wild medicinal plants come together perfectly in tandem for the benefit of humanity.
And if earlier food supplements raised some questions, by 2020-2021, they have become essential for most people, even those not typically focused on a healthy lifestyle. "Many people have realized that the body's defenses require support not only during the cold season – immunity care has become a year-round activity," says Sergey Chebanov, Siberian Wellness Business Analyst.
Siberian Wellness is one of the largest producers of food supplements in Siberia. In Berdsk (near Novosibirsk), the Company has two in-house laboratories and three production buildings, covering a total area of 24,450 square meters, and housing 18 production lines. The Company's capacity is 340,000 packs per day, making the scale and volume truly staggering. And it's also incredibly beautiful here!
Smart Production and High-Quality Standards
If you visited the Siberian Wellness production unit, you would see how food supplements are created at every stage – from raw material preparation to product packaging. However, you would only be allowed to observe it while wearing special clothing and through glass – those are the rules.
The production areas have glass ceilings, and the floor coverings are made of a material based on natural linseed oil, which helps disinfect the air. Multi-stage water and air filtration systems are in place to minimize harmful emissions. Additionally, plastic and paper waste are sorted and sent for recycling, while metal waste is forwarded to steel mills for further use.
Siberian Wellness production is certified according to international standards ISO, HACCP, GMP, and HALAL. These certifications indicate that the products meet the standards of the food industry, ensuring their safety and high quality. And the primary credit for this achievement undoubtedly belongs to the team: It is the employees who ensure transparency, consistency, and control of all processes at every stage of production, from the preparation of raw materials to the creation of finished products, following sanitary norms and conducting necessary laboratory tests.
When asked about the main success of Siberian Wellness production, Larisa Kharchenko, director of the Laboratory of Modern Health production complex responds: "We always set the bar for ourselves a little higher than necessary. Even if the production requirements increase, we are still able to operate effectively. When we equip a new building, we ensure that in 10 years, we won't be embarrassed by its outdatedness."
Multitasking and Productivity
Today, among food supplements, popular remedies include not only those for immunity but also for preserving mental health, skin beauty, fitness, overall health and youthfulness. Siberian Wellness studies customer needs and analyzes trends to offer the most relevant products.
Production facilities and high-tech equipment from the USA, Europe, Korea, and Japan enable Siberian Wellness to simultaneously create multi-component capsules and tablets (containing vitamins, minerals, and plant extracts), produce hermetically sealed capsules with oil content, syrups, and vitamins in liquid form. Siberian Wellness produces a total of 250 million capsules, 14 tonnes of tablets, 1.8 million blisters, and 1 million jars of vitamins per month.
Food Supplements: What Is Inside?
Each product is the result of hard work. The employees of the two Research & Development departments (perfume & cosmetics and food) conduct daily laboratory research and collaborate with global manufacturers of key ingredients to select innovative, unique, and safe ingredients. Then, in laboratories, they develop dozens of formulations and test them in vitro and on groups of volunteers to produce a product with guaranteed effectiveness and proven action.
Siberian Wellness products are based on the finest offerings from global suppliers and local manufacturers, including vitamins, minerals, Omega-3 acids, plant extracts, and safe coatings (titanium dioxide-free) for tablet products. Our partners include companies from Russia, France, Germany, Spain, the USA, Switzerland, South Korea and China.
The food supplements also incorporate Siberian herbs and berries, primarily sourced from the Baikal and Altai regions. The partner suppliers carefully gather wild herbs and plantation crops during periods of peak activity, processing them within several days of harvesting. The obtained raw materials are used in the production of thick and dry extracts for the formulation of food supplements.
Created in Siberia, Demanded in the World
Siberian Wellness is a dynamically developing Company, and this progress is evident in its production: Volumes are regularly increased, new products are developed, and the latest R&D solutions are implemented. However, there are also constant values that have remained unchanged for more than 25 years and make the production unique – these are the highest demands on ourselves and the quality of our products, naturalness, safety, and care for the environment. That is why Siberian Wellness products are known and sought after in 60+ countries worldwide.
