China is home to over 70% of the world’s ancient and cultivated Ginkgo Biloba trees. Key provinces such as Jiangsu, Shandong, and Guizhou provide vast agricultural landscapes that are highly suitable for high-content Ginkgo leaf growth. UniCare's direct integration with local farmers allows us to harvest the leaves at peak phytochemistry, ensuring a higher baseline concentration of active ginkgo flavone glycosides and terpene lactones before extraction.
Chinese extraction factories are no longer simple refining plants; they are highly integrated, fully automated chemical systems. By having massive scale advantages, Chinese suppliers can process thousands of metric tons annually under extremely competitive pricing structures. This industrial setup allows Western supplement and pharmaceutical buyers to secure long-term contracts with minimal pricing volatility.
Information Gain - Regulatory Focus: Leading international markets (FDA, EFSA) are steadily tightening specifications on Ginkgolic Acids due to their allergenic and cytotoxic profiles. The limit is globally set at <5 ppm, with premium clients demanding <1 ppm. Chinese factories utilizing modern acetone-water processing technologies are uniquely capable of consistently meeting this ultra-pure benchmark at an industrial scale.
UniCare attaches immense importance to the hardware and infrastructure standards of our manufacturing partnerships, working alongside the largest and most advanced plant extraction operations in China. The entire production sequence is monitored and controlled by a modern, intelligent, and highly automated control system, minimizing human error and batch-to-batch variation.
Currently, our production capabilities encompass:
Our compliance metrics are structured to align directly with EU-GMP, USP, and EP regulations.
Our production facilities operate strictly under China GMP regulations, maintaining clean-room environments and meticulous documentation.
The Ginkgo Biloba Extract lines have achieved EU-GMP and CEP certification, ensuring access to European pharmaceutical-grade applications.
By leveraging SCADA and intelligent process controllers, temperature, flow, and solvent ratios are maintained within tight limits.
We deploy high-performance counter-current extraction technology, maximizing active yield while reducing solvent consumption.
Our raw material capacity protects partners from seasonal shortages, safeguarding pricing contracts throughout the year.
We boast the only acetone process line in China meeting the EU GMP standards, ensuring low ginkgolic acid levels (<1ppm).
A visual tour through our state-of-the-art facilities, automated warehouses, and raw material drying areas.
UniCare partner factories feature an advanced internal analytical laboratory to run multi-parameter chemical tests.
Our quality control system operates on strict verification protocols. Standard tested metrics include: signature component detection (HPLC or UV), solvent residues (GC), pesticide residues (GC-MS-MS), heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, copper) using ICP-MS, microscopic identification, moisture, dry weight loss, ash, microbial limits, thin layer identification, bulk density, conductivity, pH value, and sulfur dioxide residue limits.

Securing raw material purity through scientific cultivation models and academic research partnerships.
UniCare reinvests 10% of our annual net profit into research and development. Beyond optimizing existing extraction protocols, we run a dedicated lab space for natural fermentation products. Our ongoing technical cooperation with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology focuses on developing and translating advanced natural health ingredients into commercially viable, high-volume production formats.
Our raw material procurement system spans down to specific agricultural planting sites, guaranteeing complete batch traceability. Working with regional agricultural collectives, we operate dedicated planting bases for Ginkgo leaves, Epimedium, Phellodendron, and Olive leaves. Many of these bases operate under strict Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) to control heavy metal and pesticide contamination at the agricultural source.
