Explore our top-selling standardized active ingredients manufactured to the highest global pharmaceutical and dietary supplement standards.
A comprehensive look at why top-tier pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators source standardized Avena sativa.
Wild Green Oat Extract, derived from the aerial parts of Avena sativa harvested during the pre-flowering milky stage, is widely recognized as a powerhouse of bioactive compounds. Unlike mature oats, the green oat herb contains a unique profile of specialized metabolites, most notably Avenanthramides (polyphenolic amides unique to oats), tricin-type flavonoids, and saponins (such as avenacosides A and B).
Clinical studies and pharmacological evaluations show that these compounds are highly effective at optimizing cognitive performance and stress response. Specifically, the active compounds act by inhibiting the monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) enzyme and phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4), which helps maintain healthy levels of dopamine and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the brain. The result is a natural support for cognitive focus, mental stamina, and stress resilience.
As a global supplier, UniCare standardizes its Wild Green Oat Extract to guarantee high, reproducible levels of these key active compounds. Our advanced extraction processes preserve these delicate molecules, giving B2B buyers an ingredient that works reliably across supplements, food, beverages, and cosmetics.
From raw botanical cultivation to highly purified active ingredients, our manufacturing process ensures maximum bio-efficacy.
Carefully timed harvesting of wild Avena sativa at the peak of the milky grain stage to maximize Avenanthramides concentration.
Using advanced low-temperature vacuum extraction lines to protect heat-sensitive active compounds and avoid degradation.
Using specialized resin chromatography to concentrate the active molecules while removing unwanted starch, fats, and impurities.
Spray drying in a GMP environment to produce a highly soluble, standardized powder with verified batch-to-batch consistency.
UniCare is working with seedling R&D companies to cultivate high-yield Avena sativa cultivars through natural crossbreeding and genomic optimization. By focusing on breeding lines with high concentrations of Avenanthramides, we aim to increase extraction efficiency and lower production costs. At the same time, our ongoing research into enzyme-assisted fermentation promises to unlock new, highly bioavailable active fractions for the next generation of cognitive health products.
Inside our advanced manufacturing footprint, built to guarantee quality, safety, and scalable volume output.
UniCare has built the largest and most advanced extraction facility in China, utilizing modern, intelligent automated control systems across the entire production line. We run two GMP-compliant workshops equipped with six multi-functional extraction lines.
These lines include three annular dynamic countercurrent extraction lines (with 10-ton and 15-ton capacities), two multi-functional extraction lines with 32 six-cubic-meter extraction tanks, and a round dynamic countercurrent extraction line. Together, this infrastructure allows us to process up to 30,000 tons of botanical raw materials every year.
We also operate six 20-ton fermentation tanks for producing enzyme-modified botanical products. Our facility features the only acetone-process Ginkgo Biloba Extract production line in China that meets EU GMP and CEP standards, showing our ability to handle complex solvent extractions with strict compliance.
Our entire extraction facility and management systems strictly follow national and international GMP standards.
Demonstrated capability with EU GMP and CEP certifications, maintaining a world-class standard across all product lines.
Our extraction, concentration, and drying processes are fully automated using Distributed Control Systems (DCS) to reduce human error.
We use state-of-the-art industrial separation and purification equipment to ensure high yield, purity, and batch consistency.
Our central laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art analytical instruments to guarantee safety, identity, and compliance.
