WONDERLAB Debuts “Shunshun Baduanjin” Across China, Bringing a New Wellness Trend to Everyday Life

On September 22, probiotic company WONDERLAB partnered with Tmall Brand Super Member Day to hold its fifth-anniversary “Yi Qi Shunshun Chuxing” brand-created festival in Anji, Huzhou. The event lasted 10 days, and its first offline “Shunshun Baduanjin” session sparked widespread interest in following along.

As a biotech innovation company specializing in probiotic and other microecological dietary supplements, WONDERLAB designed the “Shunshun Baduanjin” program to combine probiotics with traditional Chinese wellness culture. It introduced a new daily-wellness routine built around “Baduanjin every day and the Blue Bottle after meals,” pairing internal nutritional support with external exercise and contributing to broader public health literacy.

At the demonstration event, WONDERLAB invited professional martial arts champion Zhang Feng to lead an offline Baduanjin learning session, while several celebrity creators helped share the program online. More than 100 people participated online and offline, experiencing the physical and mental enjoyment of “Shunshun Baduanjin” among mountains, streams and bamboo groves. The event also introduced the public to the importance of gut health. The source positioned appropriate probiotic supplementation together with daily Baduanjin exercise as a way to support a healthy lifestyle from the inside out.

Baduanjin originated during the Northern Song period. Its simple routines, ease of learning, lack of need for a venue or equipment, and moderate exercise intensity have made it a popular form of “light exercise.” It has become a science-based fitness program jointly promoted by China’s National Health Commission and the General Administration of Sport of China. As an important part of traditional Chinese wellness culture, Baduanjin carries forward the wisdom of earlier generations. The source states that its eight-movement sequence can promote intestinal motility and support immune function.

According to the source, “Shunshun Baduanjin” is a new wellness exercise for gut health jointly developed by WONDERLAB and Chinese martial arts champion Zhang Feng. Based on the traditional form of Baduanjin, it was adapted for the physical characteristics of people in modern China with a focus on gut health. “Shunshun Baduanjin” is easy to learn. The source presents regular practice, together with probiotics intended to support gut health, as a way to support healthy gastrointestinal motility and overall well-being.

WONDERLAB has long focused on gastrointestinal-function research and probiotic product development. During the development of its flagship Blue Bottle Probiotics, the company conducted extensive technical research into how probiotics interact with the gut and carried out multiple human studies evaluating product-related outcomes. The source reported that after four weeks of continuous use, the product helped volunteers’ gut health reach a healthy level. By September 2024, WONDERLAB’s probiotic products had reportedly reached sales of 500 million bottles. The article also states that, in April of the same year, an international authority recognized WONDERLAB as ranking first in China by probiotic sales revenue.

As people’s pace of life accelerates and expectations for quality of life continue to rise, gut health has become an area that cannot be overlooked. From September 17 to 23, WONDERLAB’s Tmall Brand Super Member Day introduced “Shunshun Baduanjin” as a daily-wellness routine built around “Baduanjin every day and the Blue Bottle after meals.” The program attracted many consumers to learn and practice along with it and helped them better understand gut-health information.

Looking ahead, WONDERLAB will actively organize a series of online and offline activities and encourage the public to practice “Shunshun Baduanjin.” It will also support the National Nutrition and Health Initiative and the Healthy China Action for a Reasonable Diet, contributing its expertise to the Healthy China initiative.
