About us
In 1995, four ingredient innovators made their dreams a reality by founding Shanghai Freemen Life Sciences to deliver better health to all.
Flash-forward to today, Shanghai Freemen is a team of dedicated, expertly trained individuals with operations in four countries. We draw on our 20 years of global experience to deliver high quality, competitively priced products. Although we have grown since our humble beginnings, our foundation remains ingrained in everything we do – quality ingredients, unparalleled market knowledge, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.
These nutritional trailblazers, led by David Zhang, were among the first to introduce Glucosamine and Chondroitin to the U.S.
As such, Shanghai Freemen quickly became a leading supplier of Glucosamine worldwide, growing into the globally-recognized supplier of high-quality food and nutrition ingredients we offer today.
Today, we are an international team of dedicated nutrition experts with operations in four countries. But our commitment to you remains the same as the day we first opened for business — providing you with high-quality ingredients, transparent market intelligence and exceptional customer service to ensure your brand’s incredible success.
