Explore our elite selection of highly standardized botanical extracts developed for global pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and nutraceutical applications.
Understanding the modern demand, active components, and standardization parameters of Lycium barbarum in international business.
Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) represent the primary bioactive constituent of Goji berries, crucial for metabolic, immunological, and cellular health formulations. Our partner factories specialize in maintaining LBP ranges from 30% to 50% via optimized low-temperature extraction technology.
B2B procurement in Europe and North America requires strict adherence to pesticide residue maximum limits (MRLs). We leverage advanced purification systems to satisfy the most rigorous FDA, USDA Organic, and EC 396/2005 regulations for zero-residue requirements.
Whether you require spray-dried water-soluble powder for functional beverages, standardized dry extract for tablets and capsules, or custom carrier-free organic powders, our collaborative manufacturing plants deliver tailormade solutions matching your specifications.

Bridging the gap between biotechnology research and GAP-compliant sustainable agricultural models.
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 natural fermentation products. By increasing investment in natural fermentation, we break through traditional extraction limitations to optimize yield and purity.
We work in deep collaboration with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of industrial fermentation, co-developing and scaling up new active ingredients for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and health supplement brands.
To control raw material quality at the source, our procurement system extends directly to agricultural fields, enabling full batch traceability. Raw material storage processes strictly adhere to our quality management system, evaluating active compounds, moisture, ash, heavy metals, and pesticide residues upon receipt.
Furthermore, UniCare establishes dedicated partnerships with local farmers to run ginkgo leaf, epimedium, phellodendron, and olive leaf planting bases. Many of these projects are operated under the strict GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practices) model. We collaborate with seedling research and development firms to select high-content cultivars via hybridization and gene optimization, enhancing yield and lowering industrial production costs.
Providing information gain and technical depth on the industrial processing of Goji Berry extracts.
Modern dietary supplement brands require Goji Berry extracts with excellent water solubility, stability, and high polysaccharide concentrations. Traditional hot-water extraction methods often degrade temperature-sensitive polysaccharides and result in high hygroscopicity. To address this, our partner factories utilize a multi-phase technical extraction roadmap:
Market studies show a surge in consumer demand for natural immune modulators, cognitive health supplements, and anti-aging cosmetics. The key active ingredients of Goji Berry support these formulations:
Lycium barbarum polysaccharides act as biological response modifiers, supporting macrophage function and promoting cytokine activity in human health formulations.
Goji is a natural source of esterified zeaxanthin dipalmitate, a highly bioavailable carotenoid that supports macular pigment density and filters blue light.
Rich in phenolic antioxidants, Goji extracts scavenge free radicals, helping to inhibit collagen degradation in anti-aging cosmetic lines.
Providing reliable regulatory clearances and localized customs documentation to ensure smooth border entry.
Navigating global regulatory landscapes requires extensive compliance documentation. UniCare and its partner manufacturing network support export clearances to North America, Europe, East Asia, and South America. We provide complete regulatory documentation to satisfy import authorities:
Verifiable organic supply chain documents, ensuring total compliance from crop cultivation to final extraction packaging.
Comprehensive statements confirming non-GMO status, zero irradiation, and absence of common allergens.
Government-issued Certificates of Origin, customs documents, and phytosanitary certificates for smooth clearing.
Certificates of Analysis covering heavy metals, pesticides, active assay values, and microbiological profiles.
Addressing technical procurement questions for supply chain managers and R&D formulators.
Standardized Goji Berry extract is commonly offered with 30% to 50% Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides (LBP). We test LBP content using UV-Vis spectrophotometry (often calibrated against glucose equivalents) and corroborate molecular weight distributions through gel filtration chromatography to verify purity.
Goji berries naturally contain low-molecular-weight sugars that absorb moisture. To prevent clumping, we utilize advanced spray-drying with food-grade carriers like maltodextrin (custom percentages available), or leverage vacuum-drying to produce granules with higher density, lower surface area, and greater stability.
Yes. Raw materials are sourced from controlled agricultural planting bases monitored for pesticide application. Final extract batches undergo rigorous pre-export screening via GC-MS-MS to verify compliance with European Union Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) and USP standards.
For standard inventory items, the MOQ is 25kg (one standard fiber drum). Customized specifications or organic batches typically require a 100kg to 500kg minimum run. Standard air freight takes 7–10 days, while ocean freight shipments take 3–5 weeks depending on the destination port.
