Pioneering industrial raw material imports optimized for metropolitan pharmaceutical and dietary supplement formulations.
The Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico (ZMVM), centered around Mexico City, represents one of the largest consumer markets for functional food ingredients and dietary supplements in Latin America. Driven by shifting consumer consciousness toward preventative health, metabolic regulation, and natural sugar-management alternatives, the industrial utilization of Mulberry Leaf Powder has experienced unprecedented growth.
Specifically, the active compound 1-Deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ) present in high-grade mulberry leaf extract is highly sought after by local nutraceutical formulators. Given Mexico's structural public health focus on reducing sugar absorption and managing metabolic health, mulberry powder serves as a vital component in glucose-balancing teas, functional beverages, and encapsulated dietary supplements distributed across chains like Farmacias Similares and GNC México.
As direct exporters and supply chain orchestrators, UniCare bridges the gap between massive Chinese agricultural cultivation baselines and the rigorous regulatory requirements enforced by the COFEPRIS (Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios) in Mexico. By maintaining deep integration with advanced raw material extraction units, we ensure that every batch of Mulberry Powder shipped to Vallejo, Santa Fe, or Iztapalapa industrial zones meets strict biological and chemical benchmarks.
Global integration of natural active ingredients backed by international regulatory certifications.
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.
Guiding the production, refinement, and global distribution of elite botanical extracts.
Unlocking the hidden potential of traditional pharmacopoeias to create innovative, standardized formulations for modern wellness.
Constantly optimizing processing methods, extraction yields, and organic purity parameters through relentless technological advancement.
Employing cutting-edge chromatography, trace metal detection, and environmental management to meet the gold standard of global exports.
Why Industrial Buyers in Mexico City Trust Our Scaling Capabilities.
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.
Rigorous quality assurance guaranteeing Mexican NOM compliance and zero customs retention.
United New Life (UniCare) 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.

| Physical/Chemical Tests | pH value, residual solvent determination (GC), loss on drying, ash content, bulk density, mesh particle size. |
To ensure total reliability, our testing facility uses calibrated machinery from global technology leaders:
Vertical integration ensuring raw material traceability from soil to final export container.
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, we break through traditional process boundaries.
UniCare has deep cooperation with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation, developing and transforming new biological raw materials for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and natural health markets into mass-produced industrial realities.
To control raw materials efficiently, our procurement system extends directly to every piece of planting land, allowing batch traceability of all active constituents. Moisture, ash, heavy metal, and pesticide content are tightly monitored at harvest.
We cooperate with growers to establish dedicated ginkgo leaf, epimedium, phellodendron, and olive leaf planting bases. Some are managed strictly according to the GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practice) guidelines, partnering with seedling R&D companies to cultivate optimized crop variants.
Navigating tariff classifications, sanitary registrations, and sea-freight timelines smoothly.
We assist Mexican customs brokers with necessary documentation: Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in Spanish, and heavy metal specifications aligned with Mexican sanitary standards.
Direct ocean freight shipments to Manzanillo or Veracruz ports. From there, secure intermodal transport delivers to warehouses in Mexico City, reducing lead times and handling risks.
Shipped in double-lined food-grade fiber drums (25 kg standard) or customized packaging size requirements to prevent humidity absorption during maritime transit.
Where raw material manufacturing meets digital precision and green chemistry.
The global phytomedicine and natural extract supply chain is undergoing a profound transformation. Moving beyond basic ethanol and hot-water extraction, UniCare's technology roadmap highlights a transition towards green solvents, enzymatic biotransformations, and high-performance molecular separation technologies.
For the Mexican food and pharma sectors, this means access to active molecules with higher bioavailability, lower pesticide thresholds, and zero solvent residue profiles. Our ongoing investments focus on:
Clear answers to common questions about botanical extract procurement, customs, and quality control.
High-purity raw extracts and certified ingredients for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food manufacturers.
