Pioneering plant extracts processed under strict GMP and international standards for dietary supplement and pharmaceutical applications.
As health-conscious consumer preferences shift away from synthetic sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, and acesulfame potassium, Organic Stevia Powder has emerged as the premier clean-label solution for sugar reduction. Derived from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant, this zero-calorie sweetener is up to 300 times sweeter than sucrose without impacting glycemic index levels.
Global food, beverage, and nutraceutical manufacturers face the complex challenge of securing high-purity, sustainably sourced, and certified organic steviol glycosides. Obtaining premium stevia demands advanced plant extraction capabilities. To ensure a reliable, standardized supply of Reb A, Reb D, and Reb M, buyers rely on direct access to sophisticated agricultural networks and high-capacity processing operations in China.
At UniCare, we leverage specialized extraction methodologies to supply certified organic stevia and advanced botanical extracts. Our systems preserve the plant's native molecular structure while eliminating lingering bitter notes, providing food manufacturers with a clean, sugar-like taste profile.
Empowering food, beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical brands with pure, certified bio-actives.
Guided by innovation, continuous optimization, and global sustainability standards.
Unlocking botanical potential through molecular engineering, yielding higher purity Steviol glycosides (Reb A, D, M) with clean taste profiles.
Constantly upgrading chromatography columns and extraction setups to minimize organic solvent use and increase production efficiency.
Employing industrial countercurrent systems and enzymatic technology to process thousands of metric tons of plant biomass efficiently.
Collaborating with local farmers via fair-trade, GACP-compliant cultivation structures to support regional agricultural development.
Why leading global food and beverage brands source from Chinese extraction facilities.
China produces over 70% of the world's stevia extract, drawing on decades of optimization in agricultural genetics and large-scale manufacturing infrastructure. Chinese producers offer integrated supply chains that span from seedling development to final packaging, providing major cost-efficiency advantages.
By establishing cultivation agreements directly in optimal agricultural regions, Chinese suppliers manage raw material traceabilty down to specific fields. Advanced refining technologies isolate sweet components like Rebaudioside M (Reb M) and Rebaudioside D (Reb D) at commercial scale. This enables global brands to optimize their formulations for taste, clean labels, and cost.
UniCare integrates these advantages with Western compliance standards. We deliver certified organic stevia powder, ginkgo biloba, green tea extracts, and other natural active ingredients directly to North American, European, and Asian logistics hubs.

How we link botanical breeding with extraction science.
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 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.
How product developers leverage steviol glycosides across global industries.
Acidic environments degrade many synthetic sweeteners, but Steviol glycosides remain stable at pH ranges of 2.0 to 10.0. Our purified Reb M and Reb D are ideal for sugar-free soda, carbonated beverages, energy drinks, and flavored waters, providing high sweetness stability without sedimentation.
Our organic stevia powder masks the astringent off-notes of pea, soy, and oat proteins. In fermented dairy products like yogurt, stevia remains sweet without hindering active cultures or breaking down during pasteurization.
For clean-label nutraceuticals (keto-friendly, vegan, non-GMO), our stevia powder provides reliable sweetness. It is often combined with erythritol or monk fruit to build bulk, creating a balanced sugar substitute for end consumers.
