BIG CARiNG Group, Malaysia’s largest pharmacy chain, has entered a strategic partnership with Japan’s century-old health brand B&S Corporation and Taiwan’s leading pharmacy chain, Great Tree Pharmacy, to advance preventive healthcare across Asia.
The alliance aims to bring clinically proven, science-backed health products to consumers in Malaysia, Taiwan and the wider Asian region. By leveraging BIG CARiNG’s extensive retail network, Great Tree’s market expertise and B&S Corporation’s long-standing research excellence, the partnership seeks to create a shared pathway for safer, more professional and trusted health solutions.
As the first milestone of the collaboration, B&S Corporation’s renowned postbiotic brand, LACTIS, will officially enter the Malaysian health supplement market in December 2025. Subsequently, additional Japanese products, including clinically validated anti-ageing and senior wellness supplements, will be gradually introduced to Malaysian consumers.
Lee Meng Chuan, CEO of BIG CARiNG Group, said, “At BIG CARiNG Group, our mission has always been to expand access to trusted, high-quality healthcare solutions for every community we serve. We believe preventive healthcare is the future of wellness. By combining our collective strengths — Japan’s century-old health expertise, Taiwan’s market-leading pharmacy excellence and our extensive pharmacy network — we are building a shared pathway to bring clinically proven, science-backed innovations to consumers across Asia.”
Yuko Murakoshi, President & CEO of B&S Corporation, added, “Guided by our corporate philosophy of ‘contributing to the wellbeing of more people’, we remain committed to delivering the true value of our products to every consumer with sincerity and meticulous care. We are deeply grateful to BIG CARiNG Group and Great Tree Pharmacy for recognising and supporting our mission.”
Cheng Ming Long, President of Great Tree Pharmacy, said, “It is an honour to partner with BIG CARiNG Group in bringing the clinically supported and scientifically proven innovations of Japan’s century-old brand, B&S, to Taiwan, Malaysia and the Asian region. The combined strengths of all three parties will foster a close, synergistic partnership that delivers outstanding results, enhances consumer health and builds a sustainable, mutually beneficial healthcare ecosystem.”
The partnership builds on a previous collaboration between BIG CARiNG and Great Tree Pharmacy to introduce the globally patented red yeast product Ankascin568™, moving the relationship from product-level cooperation to a full strategic alliance.
The alliance marks a significant step in cross-border collaboration within Asia’s health sector, promoting preventive healthcare and establishing a higher benchmark for quality and safety in the region’s healthcare ecosystem.
