Explore our core collection of high-standard herbal extracts manufactured under strict GMP systems, ensuring chemical stability, efficacy, and compliance with EU/US regulations.
As premier Wholesale Ginger Suppliers & Exporters, we recognize that industrial buyers, formulation scientists, and pharmaceutical manufacturers require more than basic botanical raw materials. Modern procurement demands precise chemical profiling, batch-to-batch standardization, and rigorous contaminant control. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a complex botanical matrix containing over 400 chemical constituents. The therapeutic and physiological benefits of ginger are primarily attributed to its lipophilic active compounds, namely gingerols (specifically 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol, and 10-gingerol) and shogaols (formed via the dehydration of gingerols during thermal processing).
When optimizing formulations for joint health, digestion support, anti-emetic medications, or cosmetic applications, targeting specific active component concentrations is crucial. Standardized ginger extracts are typically specified with a concentration range of 5% to 20% total gingerols by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of volatile oils, including zingiberene, ar-curcumene, and beta-sesquiphellandrene, also defines the organoleptic and therapeutic efficacy of the final extract. As a professional, technology-driven exporter, UniCare offers tailored extraction parameters, allowing partners to specify the exact profile of gingerols, shogaols, and essential oils to meet target indications.
We standardize 6-gingerol and total gingerols using advanced HPLC methodologies to ensure batch uniformity for clinical trials and finished product formulations.
Conforming to EU Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and USP <561>, our ginger root extraction process minimizes pesticide residues to trace, non-detectable levels.
Using advanced green chemistry, including supercritical fluid CO2 extraction and food-grade ethanol, we strictly limit residual solvents within USP <467> Class 2 & 3 guidelines.

China is the largest producer and exporter of ginger and ginger-derived extracts worldwide. Sourcing from a top-tier Chinese manufacturer like UniCare offers significant logistical, structural, and cost advantages. The geographical and climatic diversity of China allows for the cultivation of specialized ginger strains (such as Shandong Big Ginger and Laiwu Ginger) characterized by varying dry-matter content and distinct gingerol profiles. This raw material diversity, combined with massive agricultural cultivation bases, guarantees market-leading stability in volume and price, mitigating the volatility commonly experienced in smaller regional supply chains.
Furthermore, our direct presence in China allows us to seamlessly integrate agricultural cultivation with advanced industrial refining. Rather than relying on third-party raw material brokers, UniCare maintains dedicated contracts with local growers. We control planting density, soil fertilization, irrigation protocols, and harvest timing. This vertical integration is crucial for global procurement teams seeking consistent quality, long-term price security, and guaranteed supply line resilience.
Direct partnerships with regional ginger farms ensure access to premium harvests. Extensive crop monitoring limits potential contaminants before the material enters processing.
Processing up to 30,000 tons of botanical input annually translates to substantial economies of scale. We pass these cost reductions directly to our global distribution partners.
From fine dry powder to thick lipophilic extracts, our manufacturing footprint supports tailored particle sizes, solubility modifications, and concentration levels.

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 established a professional R&D department focused on natural fermentation products. By increasing investment in fermentation technologies, we try to break through traditional limits and drive industry-wide developments.
UniCare has deep cooperation with Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation, jointly developing and transforming new raw materials for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and natural health sectors into mass-produced, high-efficiency products.
In order to control raw materials more efficiently and with higher quality, a raw material procurement system has been established, which extends procurement directly to every piece of planting land, ensuring complete traceability. Storage operations follow an advanced quality management system process, where we strictly verify active ingredient profiles, moisture levels, ash content, heavy metals, and pesticide residues.
To guarantee the high quality of vital products, UniCare has cooperated with planting farmers to establish Ginkgo Leaf, Epimedium, Phellodendron, and Olive Leaf planting bases. Several of these bases are operated strictly in accordance with the GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practice) management model. Additionally, we collaborate with seedling research firms to cultivate high-yield crop variations through natural hybridization and gene optimization, consistently lowering the unit cost to benefit our end clients.
Global distribution of botanical extracts requires navigability of diverse regional regulations. For example, exporting ginger extracts to the United States requires compliance with FDA dietary supplement cGMPs (21 CFR Part 111) and FSMA rules, while entry into the European Union demands strict alignment with EU food safety standards and maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides. In Japan, products must comply with the positive list system for agricultural chemicals. At UniCare, we provide comprehensive documentation support, including Allergen Statements, GMO-free Declarations, BSE/TSE statements, Kosher/Halal certifications, and third-party laboratory analysis reports (SGS/Eurofins) to ensure seamless customs clearance and regulatory audits.
