Direct manufacturer-to-distributor channels ensuring complete traceable logistics and high-potency batch consistency.
Standardized red beet root extracts contain precise percentages of inorganic nitrates (NO3-). Under physiological conditions, dietary nitrates are reduced to nitrite and subsequently converted to nitric oxide, driving vasodilation, increasing cellular efficiency, and serving as a foundational ingredient in pre-workout supplement formulations.
In response to international regulatory crackdowns on synthetic azo-dyes (e.g., Red 40), food and cosmetics manufacturers rely on high-stability betanin complexes derived from beet roots. Our partner factories employ low-temperature vacuum extraction technologies to safeguard heat-sensitive pigment molecules from degradation during spray-drying phases.
Because root crops naturally accumulate heavy metals from the soil, UniCare implements a strict GACP agricultural management system. Sourcing from our controlled planting bases in Northern China ensures low cadmium, lead, and arsenic levels that comply with strict Proposition 65 regulations in California and the European Union Commission limits.
The Competitive Edge of Chinese Beet Root Sourcing:
By leveraging vast agricultural acreage in high-altitude, sun-rich regions such as Gansu and Inner Mongolia, Chinese manufacturers achieve a stable raw root yield characterized by high dry matter content and enriched natural nitrates, offering a cost-to-potency ratio that European and American processors struggle to duplicate.
UniCare is a professional supplier of natural active ingredients. Our products are widely used in various fields such as dietary supplement, food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. We focus on product development and quality stability, and insist on growing together with our customers around the world.
UniCare has deep cooperation with several excellent Chinese manufacturers who have complete quality management system certifications, including but not limited to GMP, EUGMP, CEP, ISO9001, ISO22000, and HACCP.

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.
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.

Expert responses to critical compliance, formulation, and logistics queries raised by supply chain directors.
We utilize high-resolution liquid chromatography (HPLC) to standardize our nitrate ratios. By managing agricultural inputs at our contracted planting bases and monitoring processing temperatures, we keep batch-to-batch variations under ±5%, complying with regulatory dietary supplement specifications.
Root crops naturally absorb heavy metals from surrounding soil. To counter this, we select low-background planting sites in regions with clean soil history. We run raw material lots through ICP-MS analysis prior to extraction, rejecting any inputs that do not meet strict US Proposition 65 or European Commission safety thresholds.
Yes, we offer custom carrier options depending on target applications. Our facilities can supply organic gum arabic or silica carriers, or deliver carrier-free spray-dried options, helping brand owners achieve clean-label declarations on retail packaging.
