Premium active ingredients manufactured under strict quality frameworks for food, dietary supplement, and pharmaceutical applications.
An authoritative analysis of Glucoraphanin conversion, enzyme stabilization, and clinical applications.
Sulforaphane [1-isothiocyanato-4-(methylsulfinyl)butane] is a sulfur-rich organosulfur compound belonging to the isothiocyanate family. In nature, it exists in its precursor form, Glucoraphanin (a glucosinolate), alongside the endogenous plant enzyme Myrosinase (thioglucoside glucohydrolase). When plant cells are damaged or disrupted, myrosinase cleaves the glucose moiety from glucoraphanin, initiating a chemical rearrangement that yields active Sulforaphane.
As a global B2B supplier, UniCare addresses the inherent instability of free sulforaphane, which is highly sensitive to heat, moisture, and alkaline environments. Our manufacturing partners utilize proprietary microencapsulation technologies and cyclodextrin complexation to ensure maximum stability and bioavailability in final formulations.
Key biological functions verified by current pharmacological research include:
Why global brands rely on Chinese manufacturers for standardizing and scaling natural active compounds.
China holds a massive geographical and agricultural footprint for high-quality brassica cultivation. UniCare collaborates with GACP-compliant raw material planting bases located in climate-optimized regions. This control allows us to cultivate seeds and sprouts specifically hybridized to yield up to 3-5 times higher concentrations of natural glucoraphanin than standard food-grade broccoli.
Our partner factories feature large-scale continuous extraction units and custom cleanrooms engineered specifically for sensitive phytochemcials. The integration of modern spray dryers, freeze dryers, and low-temperature vacuum extraction systems ensures that volatile active ingredients like myrosinase enzymes and free isothiocyanates are preserved through precise thermoregulation.
Chinese B2B herb exporters have elevated validation structures to match high-regulated markets (FDA, EFSA). Active partners maintain comprehensive compliance records, including ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, Halal, Kosher, and strict adherence to global heavy metal, pesticide residue, and PAH limits, simplifying supply chain clearance for international buyers.

UniCare invests 10% of our annual net profit in research and development. In addition to optimizing and developing the existing natural plant extraction process, we have also established a professional R&D department for the natural fermentation products. By increasing investment in natural fermentation products, we try to break through the traditional processes and disrupt industry development.
UniCare has deep cooperation with Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation, jointly developing and transforming the new raw materials of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and natural health products into mass-produced products.
In order to control raw materials more efficiently and with higher quality, a raw material procurement system has been established, which extends procurement to every piece of planting land and can trace the raw materials of each batch of products. The storage of raw materials is operated according to the advanced quality management system process, and the content of active ingredients, moisture, ash, heavy metals, pesticide residues and other items of raw materials are strictly controlled.
At the same time, in order to further ensure the high quality of important products, UniCare cooperated with planting farmers to establish ginkgo leaf planting bases, epimedium planting bases, phellodendron planting bases, olive leaf planting bases, etc. Some of these bases are planted strictly in accordance with the GACP management model. In addition, we cooperate with seedling research and development companies to develop high-content seedling cultivation, and cultivate better seedlings through hybridization or gene optimization, so as to continuously reduce unit costs to benefit users.
