UniCare is a professional supplier of natural active ingredients. Our products are widely used in various fields such as dietary supplement, food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. We focus on product development and quality stability, and insist on growing together with our customers around the world.
UniCare has deep cooperation with several excellent Chinese manufacturers who have complete quality management system certifications, including but not limited to GMP, EUGMP, CEP, ISO9001, ISO22000, and HACCP. Each factory has independent testing capabilities and is equipped with advanced and efficient testing equipment to ensure the high quality and long-term stability of each batch of products.
Peru has emerged as the world's leading exporter of fresh blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum), leveraging unique climatic conditions in coastal regions such as La Libertad, Lambayeque, and Ica. However, the domestic and international markets are shifting rapidly from fresh produce consumption to high-value-added processed foods, functional beverages, and nutraceutical supplements. The demand for industrial-grade, soluble, and highly standardized Blueberry Powder has grown exponentially among Peruvian manufacturers looking to fulfill the strict product formulations of local DIGESA (Dirección General de Salud Ambiental) and international export requirements.
Peruvian food developers are integrating high-potency anthocyanin powders into local dairy, confectionary, and premium healthy snacks, moving away from low-margin fresh raw materials.
With the rising awareness of cognitive health, vision protection, and cardiovascular fitness, Peruvian pharmacies and supplement brands are formulating local capsules, softgels, and instant juice powders using active berry extracts.
While Peru grows fresh berries, high-capacity, standard freeze-drying and clean-room active ingredient refining are predominantly located in advanced industrial zones like China. This creates a critical pipeline for raw materials to the Callao port.
Our manufacturing infrastructure is anchored on the principles of **Industry 4.0**, combining digital telemetry, automated batch trace system, and state-of-the-art solid extraction mechanics. We secure the active biological fraction of our raw ingredients to maintain optimal purity and stability for overseas delivery, including customized packaging options suited to Lima’s humid ocean breeze conditions.
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 plant raw materials can be processed each year.

Own six fermentation tanks (20 tons capacity for each) for the production of enzyme-modified products.
Our blueberry powder is produced using two specialized industrial pathways to ensure the precise balance of flavor retention, solubility, and phytochemical concentration required by the Peruvian beverage and pharma sectors.
Ideal for premium capsules and dietary supplement blends. We freeze raw blueberries at -40°C, followed by sublimation under a vacuum. This process completely preserves the heat-sensitive cellular structure of the berries, retaining 98% of the anthocyanins and vitamin C content with high sensory fidelity.
Optimized for mass-market food and beverages such as yogurts, smoothies, and RTD protein shakes in Peru. Concentrated juice is micro-atomized in a heated chamber. The resulting powder has exceptional water solubility, anti-caking properties, and remains stable under high humidity levels in maritime storage.
United New Life 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.

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 the 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.
Partner with an established Chinese manufacturer holding GMP & ISO credentials. We streamline shipping directly to the Port of Callao, Lima, and handle all supporting technical documentations.
