Unlocking the full chemical and therapeutic potential of Berberine Hydrochloride (HCl) through scientific research, reliable sourcing, and global regulatory compliance.
The global demand for high-purity Berberine Root Extract has spiked, driven by clinical validations highlighting its role in metabolic health, insulin sensitivity regulation, cardiovascular support, and AMPK pathway activation. However, formulators face critical challenges such as raw material adulteration, heavy metal accumulation, and variable alkaloid yields.
As a leading Chinese supplier, UniCare provides macro-level solutions by utilizing highly selective chromatography and recrystallization processes. This ensures our Berberine HCl (typically derived from Berberis aristata, Phellodendron amurense, or Coptis chinensis) remains free from synthetic adulterants and complies with rigorous global pharmacopoeias (USP, EP).
China stands at the center of the global Berberine supply chain, possessing the unique botanical resources and large-scale manufacturing infrastructure needed to make production economically viable. Wild harvest limitations have prompted a major shift toward sustainable, GACP-compliant cultivation of raw materials.
Industrially, Berberine is prepared under tight control to avoid hazardous solvents. Modern buyers require complete documentation (including third-party pesticide profiling and residual solvent testing). UniCare leads this space by integrating full batch traceability from local agricultural fields to finished crystalline powder.
UniCare attaches great importance to the hardware conditions of production equipment and has the largest and most advanced extraction factory in China. The entire production line in UniCare is controlled by a modern, intelligent, automatic control system.
Until now, UniCare has built up two GMP workshops, containing six multi-functional extraction lines, among which there is the only production line for Ginkgo Biloba Extract of acetone process in the whole China. Here are several other production lines including fermentation production lines and Chinese medicine pieces. A total of 30,000 tons of various Chinese medicine plant raw materials can be processed each year.
United New Life / UniCare has established a leading and complete quality control system, strictly maintaining product purity and compliance across all botanical batches.
With advanced testing instruments and strict quality gates, we provide every customer with verified high-quality products. Detectable items include: Signature component detection (HPLC or UV), solvent residues GC, pesticide residues (organochlorine detection) GC-MS-MS, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, copper) ICP-MS microscopic identification, moisture, dry weight loss, ash, microbial limits, thin layer identification, weighing, conductivity, pH, sulfur dioxide residue, routine detection, etc.

From seed to active ingredient, we maintain full oversight of our botanical supply chains.
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 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 new raw materials for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and natural health products into mass-produced products.
To control raw materials efficiently and with higher quality, we use a procurement system that traces materials back to each specific plot of land. Raw material storage is run according to our quality management system, where active content, moisture, ash, heavy metals, and pesticide residues are checked before processing.
To ensure consistent quality for key products, UniCare partners with farmers to manage dedicated planting bases, including Ginkgo leaf, Epimedium, Phellodendron (crucial for Berberine), and Olive leaf bases. Some are managed strictly under the GACP model. We also partner with research firms to develop high-yield seedlings through selective hybridization to reduce costs for end-users.
Simplifying your botanical import experience with full documentation and responsive logistical pathways.
We provide comprehensive regulatory dossiers, including allergen statements, non-GMO declarations, Kosher & Halal certificates, and heavy metal profiles. This facilitates smooth registration with the FDA, EFSA, and other local health authorities.
Different delivery systems need custom particle distributions. We offer micronization services, customizing mesh sizes for direct tableting, capsule filling, or drink mixes, ensuring optimal blend uniformity.
Through our network of global logistics partners, we offer custom-cleared delivery options (including DDP and CIF) to minimize import administration and simplify your supply chain.
How UniCare is using new green extraction technologies and automated systems to improve phytomedicine manufacturing.
Our engineering team is testing natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) to reduce organic waste, lowering carbon footprints while maintaining high alkaloid yields.
Collaborating with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology, we are researching enzymatic transformations to synthesize rare plant compounds that are difficult to extract in large volumes naturally.
We are upgrading our extraction lines with real-time NIR (Near-Infrared) sensors. This allows continuous monitoring of alkaloid levels during refining, ensuring high batch-to-batch stability.
