The World’s Only Amway Botanical R&D Center

Opened in October 2015, Amway Botanical R&D Center is the first Amway’s R&D center, it is also the Amway’s only research and development platform, with a focus on studying organic traditional Chinese medicines (TCM).

As far back as 2009, Amway scientists began selecting the best possible soils from across 40 cities in China, then selected 17 of them to conduct further inspection. It took them three years to make the final choice for the best soil to establish the Amway Botanical R&D Center.

During these three years, Amway scientists conducted site inspection within the 17 selected locations. They made field trips to every location and investigated an array of aspects from geographical environment to transportation. Soil samples were collected to undergo a series of stringent tests, it helped to ensure the soil was safe, with levels of heavy metals and pesticide residues, water and air pollution well below the recommended limits. In 2012,  Amway scientists finally confirmed the pollution-free Wuxi as the home to Amway Botanical R&D Center, where investigating organic traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) took place.
