About Us

Health Products Association – China (HPA-China) is a U.S. non-profit 501(c6) association dedicated to the overall natural health products industry including dietary supplements, nutritional ingredients, probiotics, sports nutrition, omega fatty acids, organic foods, natural cosmetics, and traditional herbal products.

Mission Statement

HPA-China represents the largest group of global dietary supplement, nutritional ingredient and service providing companies operating in China. HPA-China is working towards the continued development of China’s overall natural health product industry by advocating for a more open and transparent regulatory environment and is committed to increasing the trade and availability of its member’s and client’s products through regulatory advocacy and a variety of business services, which will benefit the health and wellbeing of both industry and consumers alike. 

Message from Executive Director

China’s economy and consumer base is growing rapidly and with that families have more expendable income to spend on their loved ones’ health and wellness. However, the industry is moving faster than regulations can keep up. As a result, the regulatory situation in China for dietary supplements is still quite restrictive, but is undergoing continuous reform and development as the industry expands at breakneck speeds.

China has the most potential of any other market in the world to make as your company’s next destination. HPA-China is here as your trusted partner to assist in your China business endeavors. Although full of promise, the market remains a challenge for international companies to navigate. Consider joining the association to ensure you have all the tools at your disposal to succeed! The HPA-China team and I look forward to assisting in your company’s successful China strategy.  

Warmest Regards,

Jeff Crowther

Executive Director
