UniCare stands at the forefront of the global life sciences sector as a premier supplier of premium-grade, natural active ingredients. Our botanical extracts serve as foundational blocks across the dietary supplement, food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries worldwide. Guided by an uncompromising dedication to product development and batch-to-batch quality stability, we strive to build long-term, synergistic relationships with our global partners.
Through deep-rooted technical alliances with several of China's most elite manufacturing hubs, UniCare ensures complete supply chain reliability. Our strategic partner facilities operate under comprehensive quality management system certifications, including but not limited to GMP, EU-GMP, CEP, ISO9001, ISO22000, and HACCP. Every partner factory is equipped with autonomous, state-of-the-art laboratory testing apparatus, allowing us to enforce stringent regulatory protocols for every product batch delivered to international borders.
Ginkgo Biloba Extract (GBE) remains one of the world's most scientifically validated botanical ingredients. Revered for its potent concentration of bioactive flavonoids (such as quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin) and terpene lactones (including ginkgolides A, B, C, and bilobalide), standardized Ginkgo Biloba extract is highly sought after by pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers globally to support cognitive health, microcirculation enhancement, and cardiovascular stability.
Global procurers operate under the stringent guidelines of USP, European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and Chinese Pharmacopoeia (CP). We ensure our extracts match key profile parameters: Flavone Glycosides (24%), Terpene Lactones (6%), and Ginkgolic Acids strictly < 5ppm (or even < 1ppm for specialized pharmaceutical clients).
Adulteration with cheap, synthetic rutin, quercetin, or free kaempferol is a persistent market challenge. UniCare guarantees complete botanical integrity through high-precision HPLC and MS verification, ensuring that the glycoside ratio remains natural, stable, and untampered.
While ethanol processes are cheaper, the premium standard designated by the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) requires the acetone-water extraction route. This method effectively isolates vital ginkgolides while keeping toxic ginkgolic acids below limits. We operate the premier compliant acetone production line in China.
We believe that botanical innovation and chemical rigor must go hand-in-hand to cultivate a sustainable ecosystem for our team, our community, and the global consumer base.
We unlock hidden wellness molecules in natural plants using high-tech isolation and chromatography methods.
Our parameters are optimized continuously, pushing extraction yields higher while purging harmful constituents.
Utilizing high-end DCS automatic process control and closed-loop filtration to maintain pure, consistent extracts.
We foster a rewarding work environment while dedicating resources to sustainable agriculture and green operations.
UniCare recognizes that advanced manufacturing hardware is foundational to securing batch stability. We leverage a robust industrial complex boasting one of the largest and most advanced botanical extraction setups in China. The entirety of our process flow is fully automated, overseen by modern, intelligent control interfaces that ensure precise temperature regulation, solvent flow rates, and extraction pressures.
Currently, our network hosts two fully certified GMP workshops operating six multi-functional industrial extraction configurations. Significantly, we host the only specialized acetone-process extraction line for Ginkgo Biloba Extract in China that holds alignment with EU-GMP and CEP standard configurations. In addition to solvent extractions, we support diverse fermentation lines and traditional processing lines, culminating in an impressive annual capacity of processing 30,000 metric tons of raw herbal inputs.
Quality control at UniCare is integrated into every step of our process. Partnering with CNAS-qualified laboratory environments, we execute exhaustive analytical screenings to enforce strict trace chemical limitations and verified bio-equivalence. Our testing protocols address crucial safety and chemical profile parameters, ensuring compliance with global monographs.
Our testing limits cover: Signature active ingredients profiling via UHPLC and UV, GC gas-chromatography analysis for trace volatile solvents, pesticide screens (organochlorine and multiresidue testing via GC-MS-MS), heavy metal identification (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury) via ICP-MS, alongside detailed microbial, bulk density, and shelf-life stability tests.
Primary Laboratory Instruments: Our partner laboratories employ a state-of-the-art instrument fleet: Two (2) High-Performance UHPLC Agilent 1290 systems, four (4) HPLC Agilent 1260 arrays, two (2) HPLC Shimadzu LC-20AT systems, two (2) Dionex CU3000 HPLC instruments, two (2) Shimadzu ELSD 2000ES evaporative light scattering detectors, one (1) GC-2010 gas chromatograph, and one (1) Shimadzu AA-7000 atomic absorption spectrometer.

Reliable active ingredients begin in the soil. At UniCare, we operate a vertically integrated raw material sourcing system that tracks batches directly to the farm. We enforce strict GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practice) standards at our co-managed farming bases, maintaining control over soil composition, pesticide usage, and harvesting timelines.
To secure high-yield botanical raw materials, UniCare collaborates with seedling research laboratories, using select hybridization and botanical breeding methods to cultivate resilient, high-content cultivars. In addition, we invest 10% of our annual net profit into R&D, driving chemical extraction advances and bio-fermentation methods in partnership with institutions like the Beijing University of Chemical Technology.
Our dedicated Ginkgo Biloba, Epimedium, Phellodendron, and Olive Leaf planting bases ensure a clean, reliable, and sustainable botanical supply chain.
Our work with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology focuses on translating fermentation research into scalable, high-purity health ingredients.
