High-purity botanical active ingredients engineered to satisfy the local compliance standards of Vietnam's Ministry of Health (VFA).
Hanoi, the administrative and economic hub of northern Vietnam, is experiencing an unprecedented surge in demand for preventive healthcare solutions. Driven by rapid urbanization, an expanding middle class, and a massive demographic shift towards digital device usage, the local health product formulation industry is realigning its product pipelines. In particular, "digital eye strain" and vision health have emerged as primary concerns for Hanoi's corporate workforce and academic population.
This demographic transition has directly increased the industrial consumption of European Bilberry Extract (Vaccinium myrtillus) in Hanoi's functional food clusters, including industrial zones in Bac Ninh, Hung Yen, and outlying districts of Hanoi. Formulation companies are actively shifting from low-grade alternatives to pure, authentic anthocyanin sources to qualify for the rigorous Vietnam Food Administration (VFA) certification processes under Decree 15/2018/ND-CP.
As a global partner, UniCare provides Hanoi-based buyers with a direct corridor to certified, pharmaceutical-grade European Bilberry Extract. Our specialized supply chain ensures uninterrupted delivery, complete documentation, and raw materials that are resilient to international market price fluctuations.
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.
Resolving the industry problem of adulteration and low-content botanical active ingredients.
A major challenge in the global herbal supply chain is the adulteration of true European Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) with cheaper fruit extracts (such as bog bilberry, mulberry, or blackcurrant) or synthetic colorants (Amaranth dye). True European Bilberry is exceptionally rich in anthocyanins, specifically 15 distinct anthocyanidins (including cyanidin, delphinidin, malvidin, peonidin, and petunidin, glycosylated with glucose, galactose, or arabinose).
UniCare guarantees authenticity by providing HPLC chromatogram fingerprints for every batch. Rather than relying on simple UV-Vis testing (which only measures total absorbance and can be easily cheated with synthetic colorants), we validate our extract using high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with Diode Array Detection (DAD). This maps the exact ratio of the 15 anthocyanin peaks, proving the absolute purity and geographical origin of the raw material.
Our European Bilberry Extract is standardized to contain ≥25% Anthocyanins (HPLC) or ≥36% Anthocyanins (UV-Vis). Anthocyanins act as powerful antioxidants that cross the blood-retinal barrier to:
In accordance with both EU and Vietnamese pharmacopoeia standards, our extract undergoes rigorous purification steps. We guarantee:
Leveraging the largest, most advanced extraction infrastructure in China to deliver stability and cost-efficiency to Vietnam.
UniCare's partner facilities represent the peak of modern plant extraction. Equipped with computerized automated control systems, our extraction runs operate continuously, avoiding the batch-to-batch variations common in smaller, manual factories. This centralized control ensures that temperature, extraction time, and solvent ratios are maintained at precise values, maximizing active ingredient yields while protecting heat-sensitive compounds like anthocyanins.
Fully compliant with China GMP regulations and aligned with EU-GMP guidelines for botanical APIs.
Our Ginkgo Biloba Extract holds direct EU-GMP and CEP certifications, illustrating the high regulatory standards applied across all our product lines.
Fully closed extraction systems minimize human contact and eliminate foreign particulate contamination.
Using industrial-scale dynamic countercurrent extractors to achieve higher compound extraction rates at lower temperatures.
Massive raw material processing capacity guarantees stable prices and continuous inventory supply, even during global shortages.
Includes three large annular dynamic countercurrent lines and two multi-functional extraction arrays.
Houses the only EU-GMP standard Ginkgo Biloba acetone process extraction system in China.
Six 20-ton fermentation tanks for producing advanced, enzyme-modified botanical ingredients.
Every shipment bound for Hanoi undergoes strict identity, purity, and safety validation in our CNAS-aligned testing centers.
At UniCare, we believe quality is built, not just inspected. Our central laboratories employ analytical testing instruments from Agilent and Shimadzu to verify molecular composition. The following table showcases our standardized testing parameters:
| Analytical Category | Specific Test Parameters & Methodology |
|---|---|
| Active Ingredient Analysis | Assay, HPLC profile identity, UV-Vis spectrum analysis, botanical identification. |
| Hazardous Substance Analysis | Heavy metals analysis (ICP-MS), multi-residue pesticide screening (GC-MS-MS), Ethylene Oxide (EO) testing. |
| Microbial & Pathogen Analysis | Total plate count, yeast & mold count, Salmonella, E. coli, and Staphylococcus aureus testing. |
| Raw Material Traceability | GACP cultivation tracking, pesticide history check, GMO testing, botanical identity validation. |
| Regulatory Standards Review | Compliance checking against Pharmacopoeias (USP, EP, CP) and specific Vietnamese VFA standards. |
| Physical Property & Stability Testing | pH value, moisture content, total ash, particle size distribution, bulk density, stability chamber storage. |
Our analytical inventory includes two UHPLC Agilent 1290 ultra-high performance liquid chromatographs, four Agilent 1260 HPLC systems, two Shimadzu LC-20AT HPLC sets, and a high-accuracy GC-2010 gas chromatograph. These instruments allow us to provide full analytical documentation (CoA, MS-DS, and Technical Dossiers) for direct import clearance in Vietnam.
Applying scientific research to raw material sourcing, cultivation, and bio-fermentation.
UniCare reinvests 10% of its annual net profits back into research and development. We optimize current extraction methods and run a dedicated laboratory for botanical bio-fermentation. In cooperation with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology, we work to convert complex botanical matrices into highly bioavailable active molecules, breaking through the limits of traditional physical extraction methods.
Our raw material tracking stretches from cultivation and harvest all the way to final delivery. In cooperation with regional farming communities, we manage planting bases for key botanicals, including Ginkgo Leaf, Epimedium, Phellodendron, and Olive Leaf. Operating under strict Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP), we also partner with agronomy firms to breed high-yield strains, improving compound concentrations and lowering production costs.
