Discover our primary selection of scientifically validated natural active compounds trusted by global health brands.
Modern urological research and global regulatory shifts are rapidly replacing synthetic treatments with natural prophylactic solutions. Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) has positioned itself as the gold standard for urinary tract health due to its high density of Type-A Proanthocyanidins (PACs).
Unlike Type-B PACs found in many other plants, Type-A PACs exhibit unique anti-adhesion activities. They bind to the P-fimbriae of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), preventing bacterial attachment to the uroepithelial lining. To guarantee clinical efficacy, our advanced extraction facility measures active compounds strictly using the DMAC method, ensuring that every batch delivered contains the exact functional dosage required for health claims.

Scalable Industrial Output Built for Global Supply Security
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, and strictly controls the high quality of products in accordance with the quality system. With advanced testing instruments, strict control of product quality, to provide every customer with 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.
Important testing instruments include: Two UHPLC Agilent 1290 ultra-high performance liquid chromatographs, four HPLC Agilent 1260 high performance liquid chromatography sets, two HPLC Shimadzu LC-20AT high performance liquid chromatographs, two HPLC Dionex CU3000, two Shimadzu evaporative light scattering detector 2000ES, one Shimadzu GC2010 gas chromatograph, and one Shimadzu AA-7000 atomic absorption system.

From botanical gene optimization to clinical ingredient formulation.
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.
Mitigating supply-chain volatility while maximizing formulation efficacy.
To suit different packaging standards, we provide customized mesh sizes. From fine soluble powders for instant sachets to direct-compression (DC) granules designed for high-speed tableting and capsule filling without excipient interference.
Whether your product matrix requires a standard 1.5% whole fruit powder, a high-potency 25% Proanthocyanidin extract, or clean-label water-soluble derivatives, our engineering team can calibrate chemical concentration profiles.
Through our rigorous quality system and raw material controls, we guarantee that all batches comply with EU Regulation (EC) 396/2005 and EPA standards for pesticide residue thresholds, ensuring seamless custom clearance.
Pioneering next-generation bioavailability and biochemical optimization.
In collaboration with top research universities like Beijing University of Chemical Technology, UniCare is investigating enzymatic biotransformation strategies. Our target is to reduce high-molecular-weight polymers into highly bioavailable oligomeric PACs. This will optimize therapeutic absorption rates in the human gut, allowing brands to formulate more effective capsules with smaller dosages.
To counter the climate-driven botanical variations that affect traditional crops, we are building AI-driven liquid chromatography prediction systems. By correlating weather data with HPLC outputs from our planting bases, our system suggests optimal harvesting schedules to ensure consistent concentrations of organic acids and active PACs in the incoming raw berries.
