Hebubu: From the Elite Niche to Everyday Life — Making Tonic and Functional Foods for the Mass Market

Tonic and food-as-medicine products have long been seen as high-barrier, low-frequency offerings for a niche group of informed consumers. Leveraging Hema’s retail ecosystem, supply chain capabilities, and data-driven insights, 「Hebubu」 applies modern FMCG logic to reframe traditional tonics into everyday, easy-to-use functional foods. This shift is helping move the category from an elite niche into everyday life—and redefining how tonic and functional foods can scale for the mass market.
