Macro Industry Solutions & The Global Polyphenols Business
In the modern paradigm of preventative healthcare and precision nutrition, polyphenols have transitioned from simple antioxidants to fundamental building blocks of molecular health solutions. As global chronic diseases escalate and consumer awareness regarding cellular senescence, metabolic health, and systemic inflammation spikes, the demand for highly standardized, bioavailable plant polyphenols has reached unprecedented heights. Pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and dietary supplement brands are searching for supply partners capable of ensuring chemical stability, pesticide-free verification, and continuous regulatory compliance across diverse legal jurisdictions.
To serve this booming market, UniCare establishes a vertically integrated infrastructure from GACP-compliant agricultural cultivation to state-of-the-art molecular distillation and isolation. We understand that raw natural ingredients represent a complex mixture; thus, our target is the systematic purification of key active fractions—such as Trans-Resveratrol, Icariin, Fisetin, and Oleuropein—ensuring batch-to-batch consistency. Our macro-level solutions enable brands to bypass traditional raw material challenges by providing ready-to-formulate, high-density granules, water-soluble options, and micro-encapsulated powders engineered for enhanced cellular uptake.

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.
Raw Material Planting & Sourcing
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.
LOCALIZATION, COMPLIANCE & FUTURE ROADMAP
Global Regulatory Compliance & Future Tech Roadmap
Operating as an international polyphenols supplier demands comprehensive alignment with territorial regulatory frameworks. Our compliance programs ensure that products entering North America meet FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) statuses and NDI (New Dietary Ingredient) guidelines. For European markets, we optimize our production to comply with EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) regulations, maintaining pesticide and heavy metal counts far below European Pharmacopoeia (EP) thresholds. Additionally, we provide full support for Kosher, Halal, ISO22000, and HACCP certifications, allowing our clients to easily incorporate our ingredients into global consumer products.
Strategic Tech Roadmap
Our commitment to botanical extraction extends into the future through our three-tiered technological roadmap:
1
Advanced Nanoparticulate & Liposomal Delivery Systems
Developing molecular encapsulation techniques that protect sensitive polyphenols through the gastric passage, dramatically increasing absorption rates in human clinical trials.
2
Synthetic Biology & Bio-fermentation Platforms
In cooperation with Beijing University of Chemical Technology, we are advancing enzyme-modified synthesis pathways. This allows us to sustainably scale up rare molecular fractions (e.g., Fisetin, Resveratrol derivatives) that are naturally scarce in botanical biomass.
3
AI-Driven Agronomy and Crop Optimization
Integrating artificial intelligence into plant cultivation. By tracking parameters such as soil moisture, nutrient profiles, and sunlight, we can optimize harvest schedules to maximize active compound levels in our botanical species.
Scientific Q&A (FAQ)
Technical resolutions regarding solvent residues, standardized assay methodologies, and global supply logistics.
Q1: How does UniCare ensure the complete absence of harmful solvent residues?
We use environmentally clean extraction agents, such as water, ethanol, and, in specific cases, acetone under strict GMP conditions. Residual solvent levels are monitored using our Shimadzu GC-2010 Gas Chromatograph. We guarantee that all solvent residues remain well below USP <467> and EP guidelines.
Q2: What makes your Ginkgo Biloba Extract line unique in China?
UniCare operates the only acetone-process extraction line for Ginkgo Biloba in China that complies with EU-GMP and CEP certification requirements. This process yields a highly purified extract, ensuring stable levels of ginkgolic acids below 1 ppm, which is critical for reducing potential allergic reactions.
Q3: How do you trace biological materials and ensure crop sustainability?
We employ a rigorous batch-tracing system that links the final extract package to the specific agricultural zone where the plant was harvested. Our raw material bases, including ginkgo and epimedium farms, operate under GACP guidelines. This ensures proper crop rotation, sustainable harvesting, and pesticide-free cultivation.
Q4: Can UniCare custom-develop customized specifications for active compounds?
Yes. Our R&D department, supported by our partnership with Beijing University of Chemical Technology, can customize active compound levels, particle sizes, bulk densities, and water solubility to align with your formulation requirements.
