High-purity botanical raw materials sourced directly from GACP-managed plantations and processed via advanced molecular extraction.
Green tea extract, derived from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, is globally recognized as one of the most potent natural antioxidants. The therapeutic benefits of green tea extract are primarily attributed to its high concentration of polyphenolic compounds, specifically monomeric flavan-3-ols known as catechins. Among these catechins, Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) exhibits the strongest free-radical scavenging capacity and metabolic modulation capabilities.
For global B2B procurement officers in the dietary supplement, functional food, and cosmetic industries, choosing a wholesale green tea extract supplier goes far beyond simple pricing. The critical factors that dictate product efficacy and commercial success include the standardization of key chemical markers, the absolute control of solvent residues, the elimination of heavy metal contamination, and the strict absence of pesticide residues (meeting both USP and European Pharmacopoeia standards).
Bridging Natural Science and High-Quality Manufacturing for Global Markets
The principles driving our technology, research, and corporate responsibility
Unlocking potential through deep scientific analysis of active plant matrices.
Optimizing extraction processes to maximize yield and eliminate environmental footprints.
Employing state-of-the-art facilities to produce pharmaceutical-grade botanical powders.

Why global brands source their active plant ingredients from our Chinese industrial hub
China is home to the world's most comprehensive botanical supply chain. By integrating local agricultural hubs with massive industrial extraction infrastructure, UniCare achieves economies of scale that are unmatched elsewhere. China's native tea plantations, particularly in high-altitude zones, provide a continuous supply of premium Camellia sinensis leaves rich in catechins and free from environmental pollutants.
Our centralized manufacturing strategy reduces raw material transport times, preserving active compounds before degradation. Combined with advanced automated extraction pipelines, we supply premium green tea extract at a stable, competitive cost structure, mitigating inflation and supply bottlenecks for our international buyers.
Industrial-scale capabilities driven by modern, intelligent automated technology.
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.

Integrating university scientific research with farm-level quality tracking
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.
For international buyers in the United States, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, navigating botanical regulatory hurdles is a significant challenge. UniCare provides a comprehensive localized compliance support system. We supply complete technical dossiers, including Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Allergen Statements, Non-GMO declarations, and BSE/TSE-Free Certificates.
