Explore our primary industrial-grade raw material portfolio supplied globally.
Understanding the raw material architecture behind premium cellular health formulations.
The global longevity and cellular vitality market is undergoing a seismic shift. Central to this development is Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), a vital coenzyme found in all living cells, essential for energy metabolism, DNA repair, and sirtuin activation. Brand formulations like Basis by Elysium Health have popularized the specific combination of Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) and Pterostilbene to efficiently elevate NAD+ levels and mitigate age-related cellular decline.
As a professional supplier and strategic manufacturing partner, UniCare provides the high-purity components required to formulate next-generation anti-aging solutions. By sourcing raw ingredients with pharmaceutical-grade stability and clean-label credentials, we enable global dietary supplement brands to produce stable, safe, and highly bioavailable formulations that align with the rigorous science popularized by major longevity research organizations.
While Nicotinamide Riboside acts as an immediate precursor to NAD+, successfully entering cells through specialized transporters, Pterostilbene acts as a powerful sirtuin activator (specifically targeting SIRT1). SIRT1 activation is highly dependent on the availability of NAD+. By supplying both the precursor fuel (NR) and the enzymatic accelerator (Pterostilbene), formulations target cellular longevity pathways downstream, promoting mitochondria biogenesis, oxidative stress defense, and chromosome maintenance.
Pioneering sustainable chemistry and enzymatic synthesis pathways for NAD+ precursors.
Transitioning from traditional organic chemical synthesis to biological enzymatic pathways, yielding near-zero toxic solvent residue and superior isomer consistency.
Researching synergists like NMN, NR, and Nicotinic Acid combined with natural sirtuin activators to maximize the pharmacokinetic window of cellular NAD+ restoration.
Overcoming sensitivity to humidity and temperature by applying advanced microencapsulation matrices, extending shelf-life up to 36 months under standard conditions.
Flexible industrial integration for diverse product formats across global jurisdictions.
We cater to diverse application matrices to ensure our partners can lead their respective market niches. Whether you are producing premium longevity capsules, functional effervescent tablets, ready-to-mix powders, or anti-aging skincare serums, our manufacturing standards ensure consistency.
Standardized crystalline powders optimized for high-speed capsule filling lines with low static electricity interference.
Highly cold-water-soluble formats with neutral organoleptic profiles, minimizing formulation flavoring costs.
Nanoparticle encapsulation options designed to improve transdermal delivery and stabilize active precursors within water-in-oil emulsions.

Leveraging vertically integrated ecosystems to bypass global supply bottlenecks.
Modern B2B sourcing requires more than just high-quality ingredients; it demands absolute reliability in delivery times, transparent supply loops, and price stability. UniCare's industrial footprint in China leverages local agro-ecological networks to establish directly managed cultivation bases, shielding partners from raw plant raw material price surges.
By integrating automated extraction platforms with advanced digital logistics, our Factory 4.0 framework streamlines processing flows. Real-time sensory monitoring tracks temperature, pH, filtration flow rates, and concentration densities across every phase of the extraction cycles. This data is logged directly onto secure cloud networks, providing traceable, audit-ready data packages for every single production run.
