Polyphenols are structural classifications of natural phytochemicals characterized by the presence of multiple phenol units.
Globally, the demand for natural plant-derived polyphenols has grown exponentially, driven by scientific consensus regarding their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic-regulating biological pathways. Industrial operators in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region are increasingly incorporating standardized extracts (such as Green Tea Catechins, Ginkgo Biloba Flavonoids, Pomegranate Punicalagins, and Grape Seed OPCs) into their formulations.
As regulatory scrutiny around synthetic ingredients intensifies, the dietary supplement, food, functional cosmetic, and pharmaceutical sectors rely heavily on stable, scalable botanical processing. China stands as the global production engine of this category. Driven by unparalleled agricultural resource access, rapid industrial technological scaling, and strict compendial compliance systems, Chinese exporters are crucial to stabilizing supply chains globally.
1. Chemical Standardization: Transitioning from simple drug-to-extract ratios (e.g., 10:1) to absolute signature molecule percentages determined by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC).
2. Contaminant Elimination: Meeting rigorous international standards for pesticide clearances (EC 396/2005), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and organic residual solvents.
3. Bioavailability Engineering: Introducing enzyme-modified structures and organic liposomal delivery technologies to solve the low intestinal absorption rates inherent to complex polyphenolic compounds.

Controlling quality from the seed to the standardized active powder.
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 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.
Translating biological activities of polyphenols into industrial solutions for global brands.
Standardized polyphenols serve as primary active matrices in cardiovascular health, glycemic index management, and longevity formulations. As a key supplier, UniCare solves standard formulation problems by providing highly free-flowing, non-hygroscopic powders. For example, our Ginkgo Biloba Extract offers optimized terpene lactone/flavonoid ratios matching USP specifications. Our Berberine HCl satisfies the global demand for metabolic health support, maintaining structural integrity when combined with other synergists like Chromium Picolinate or Alpha-Lipoic Acid.
In topical skincare, polyphenols like Fisetin, Rutin, and Green Tea Polyphenols function as potent reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers. They downregulate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to protect collagen structures. UniCare provides specialized cosmetic-grade batches with ultra-low heavy metal profiles, zero chemical solvent residue, and high solubility properties. This ensures seamless integration into water-in-oil emulsions and serum matrices without causing formulation discoloration or crystallization.
For brands targeting functional beverages and nutritional gummies, taste profiles and stability under thermal processing present challenges. UniCare's collaborative R&D program with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology actively addresses these issues. By developing enzyme-modified variants (e.g., enzyme-modified rutin) and using spray-drying carrier options, we enhance the water-dispersibility and chemical stability of sensitive polyphenols against UV degradation and oxidation.
