Liquid & shot manufacturing
Our intelligent UHT flash-sterilisation solution delivers oral liquids and shots with a strong sensory experience and fast, convenient nutrition.
UHT oral liquids and shots, end-to-end
Liquid supplements deliver what tablets and capsules can't: instant consumption with no water needed, fast absorption, flexible dosing, and a sensory experience — flavour, colour, ritual — that premium wellness brands build entire lines around. Collagen beauty drinks, vitamin shots, children's syrups and electrolyte drinks all live in this format.
As a liquid supplement manufacturer, Zhongke Zhigu runs an intelligent UHT (ultra-high-temperature) flash-sterilisation line at up to roughly 2 million bottles per day, under NSF GMP (ANSI 455-2), FDA registration, BRCGS and ISO 22000. The process chain is fully integrated: precision mixing and blending, homogenisation, instant UHT sterilisation that protects heat-sensitive actives while guaranteeing microbial safety, automated filling, inline inspection, packaging and finished-goods storage.
Packaging is a strategic choice in liquids, and we run the full set — 10/30/50 ml aluminium sachets for portability, 30 ml PP shot bottles for the classic wellness-shot format, 30/50 ml glass bottles for premium positioning, and dropper bottles for precise-dose tinctures. Custom volumes and formats are available for beverages.
Our R&D team handles the technical challenges liquids bring — active solubility and stability in solution, flavour masking for botanicals and collagen, pH and preservation systems, and ingredient separation — validated by stability testing before launch. From a children's probiotic syrup to a premium beauty shot line, one factory takes your liquid product from formula to retail-ready cases with batch-level traceability.

Frequently asked questions
What is UHT and why does it matter?
UHT (ultra-high-temperature) flash sterilisation heats the liquid very rapidly and briefly, guaranteeing microbial safety and shelf stability while minimising heat damage to sensitive actives, flavours and colours — critical for products like collagen drinks and vitamin shots.
What packaging formats are available?
Aluminium sachets (10/30/50 ml), PP shot bottles (30 ml), glass bottles (30/50 ml) and dropper bottles, plus custom volumes for beverages. We help you match packaging to positioning — sachets for portability, glass for premium shelf presence.
What is your liquid production capacity?
Our UHT liquid lines produce up to roughly 2 million bottles per day, with automated filling and inline inspection maintaining consistency at full volume.
Can you make collagen or beauty drinks?
Yes — collagen drinks, beauty shots and functional beverages are core liquid applications. Our R&D team masks collagen's characteristic taste and validates active stability so the product stays pleasant and potent through shelf life.
How do you keep actives stable in liquid form?
Solubility, pH, preservation and separation are engineered per formula, UHT processing minimises heat exposure, and stability testing verifies the finished product before launch. Packaging choice (light-blocking glass or aluminium) adds further protection where needed.
Are liquid supplements suitable for children's products?
Yes — children's syrups and drops are a core application. Liquids allow flexible, weight-appropriate dosing, and child-friendly flavours make daily compliance easier for parents.
What certifications cover your liquid production?
Liquid manufacturing runs under NSF GMP (ANSI 455-2) with FDA facility registration, BRCGS, ISO 22000, HACCP, FSSC 22000 and HALAL certification, supporting export to the US, EU, Middle East and Asia.
Can I start with samples before a production run?
Yes. Share your concept or formula and we will develop samples for taste and stability evaluation, then confirm specifications, packaging and volumes before production scheduling.
