UniCare holds a dominant position in the global phyto-extraction space by investing heavily in high-performance extraction machinery and building the largest, most advanced automated extraction plant in China. The complete facility operates under an integrated Distributed Control System (DCS) to monitor and control extraction variables in real-time.
Our extraction workshops are certified by China-GMP, while our Ginkgo Biloba Extract processes are certified with EU-GMP and CEP. By processing up to 30,000 tons of raw materials annually, we are uniquely equipped to support large-scale international product launches without experiencing raw material bottlenecking.
As standard extract solutions face increased competition, UniCare continues to develop high-value innovations to improve bioavailability, control trace contaminants, and introduce clean-label oral delivery formats.
Our extraction target ensures a 24% Ginkgo Flavone Glycoside and 6% Terpene Lactone ratio, keeping cytotoxic ginkgolic acids under 1 ppm. We are developing techniques to target specific bilobalide and ginkgolide ratios to support clinical trials focused on neuroprotection.
Our research includes using green, bio-based solvents and subcritical water extraction systems. This reduces our environmental footprint while maintaining excellent yield efficiency for lipophilic terpene fractions.
Ginkgo extracts can be naturally hygroscopic and difficult to press. Our R&D team works on optimizing physical attributes like particle size, flowability, and density, ensuring the powder is ready for direct compression without requiring extra synthetic excipients.
UniCare operates under a comprehensive quality control system, using advanced testing instruments to analyze and confirm physical and chemical parameters for every batch of Ginkgo Biloba Extract.

Our centralized testing lab is certified to meet international standards. We utilize advanced instrumentation to verify purity and identify potential adulterants, ensuring compliance with global pharmaceutical and health food regulations:
UniCare reinvests 10% of its annual net profit into research and development. We focus on improving our extraction efficiency and developing clean-label formulations to support our global clients.
We work in collaboration with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology. Together, we develop and scale up enzymatic modifications and advanced fermentation processes, transforming laboratory findings into mass-produced health ingredients.
To secure consistent raw materials, we work with growers to manage dedicated planting bases for Ginkgo Biloba, Epimedium, Phellodendron, and Olive Leaf. Select sites are operated under Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) guidelines. We also work with botanical research institutions on cultivation programs to improve active compound yields and reduce raw material costs.
Global brands navigate varying regulatory and formulation requirements. UniCare provides tailored solutions to address supply chain, stability, and compliance challenges.
Standard Ginkgo Biloba extract powders can absorb moisture easily, leading to tablet discoloration or cracking. We supply granules with optimized particle size distributions that improve compressibility, helping manufacturers maintain stable tablet hardness and dissolution rates.
To combat the issue of adulterated ginkgo extracts (such as the addition of exogenous rutin or quercetin), we verify the natural ratio of key flavonoids using HPLC fingerprinting, ensuring compliance with USP, EP, and USP-NF monographs.
Our raw material planning and high-volume extraction capabilities help clients mitigate seasonal shortages. This ensures price stability and a reliable, year-round supply of standardized ingredients.
Whether you require low ginkgolic acid levels (< 1 ppm) for pharmaceutical applications or specific carrier-free powders for clean-label supplements, we customize physical and chemical specifications to match your product design.
We assist our clients with regulatory compliance and international shipping requirements to ensure smooth product integration.
We provide comprehensive documentation support, including DMFs, Technical Construction Files (TCF), allergen statements, non-irradiation declarations, and GMO certifications to facilitate regulatory approvals.
We operate dedicated logistics systems and work with warehousing partners to maintain inventory hubs, helping reduce lead times and shipping costs for international destinations.
Our technical team assists with formulation design, compatibility studies, and resolving processing challenges on your high-speed tableting lines.

The acetone-water extraction process is recognized by the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and USP for producing standardized Ginkgo Biloba extract. This method targets active flavones and terpene lactones while keeping undesirable ginkgolic acids below 5 ppm. In contrast, ethanol extraction can yield higher concentrations of ginkgolic acids, requiring additional purification steps to achieve compliant levels.
Adulteration often involves adding cheap, plant-derived flavonoids like rutin, quercetin, or kaempferol to mimic the 24% flavone specification. UniCare prevents this by using HPLC fingerprinting to evaluate the natural peaks of quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin. We ensure these ratios match the USP standard of 2.51 : 1.0 (with kaempferol to isorhamnetin ratios verified), confirming the extract is 100% authentic.
Yes, our EU-GMP and CEP certified production lines consistently limit ginkgolic acids to under 5 ppm, and we can achieve less than 1 ppm for premium pharmaceutical applications. This ensures compliance with European and global regulations regarding potential allergenicity and cytotoxicity.
Standard extract powders can be fine and cohesive. We offer customized granular forms with optimized particle size distribution (such as 40-80 mesh) and controlled tap density. This improves flowability and compressibility, reducing the need for high levels of binders in high-speed tableting lines.
Our standardized Ginkgo Biloba extracts have a shelf life of 36 months when stored in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, protected from direct light and moisture. We verify stability through ongoing real-time and accelerated chamber testing.
