About Vita Green — Health. Joy. Beauty. Live to 120.
Two Doctors, One Mission (1993)
Vita Green was founded in Hong Kong in 1993 by two doctors. They saw a clear gap in the market: traditional Chinese medicine held deep value, but many consumer products lacked consistency, standardization, and rigorous quality validation.
Their goal was to extract the wellness essence of Chinese herbs and produce it to the rigorous standards demanded of a Western pharmaceutical environment. The first flagship product, Five Colors Lingzhi (五色靈芝), quickly won market recognition and became the emblem of the brand’s promise: elevating traditional wisdom through discipline, science, and trust. The company is led by Dr. Chen (陳醫生).
Research First: 4–10 Years Per Product
Vita Green’s research model is built on patience and evidence. Before any product reaches the market it passes through:
- Preclinical research — animal toxicity and efficacy studies before human trials
- Clinical trials — human studies conducted with university and professional research partners
- A global research network spanning Hong Kong, mainland China, Europe, and North America
- Peer-reviewed publication — results shared through journals and conferences
Scientific Advisory Board
- Prof. Brian Tomlinson — Pharmacology & Clinical Pharmacology
