Nutrastar CEO Lianyun Han said the company’s first quarter 2011 was marked by continued sales growth, further expansion of their functional health drink distribution network and production capacity, as well as the introduction of a new entry level variation of our beverage product.
"For the first quarter 2011, gross profit percentage was 76.4%, a slight decrease from 77.8% year-over-year as a result of a change in our product mix and the introduction of our beverage line, which has lower gross margins than our core commercially cultivated Cordyceps product," Han said.
