High-purity botanical raw ingredients optimized for Nordic regulatory compliance and clean-label dietary requirements.
In Sweden, the demand for natural active ingredients has experienced exponential growth, driven by a highly health-conscious population and a mature preventive health market. As Swedish consumers prioritize holistic wellness, clean labels, and scientific efficacy, botanical compounds like Pomegranate Extract have transitionally shifted from niche health foods to mainstream nutraceutical formulations. The Swedish National Food Agency (Livsmedelsverket) maintains rigorous standards for dietary supplements, demanding that exporters provide traceable, pure, and contaminant-free extracts.
Sweden’s wellness ecosystem is highly advanced, with a strong focus on cardiovascular support, antioxidant therapy, and healthy aging. Pomegranate (Punica granatum) extract, particularly standardized for high levels of Punicalagins and Ellagic Acid, has emerged as a premium ingredient in functional beverages, sports nutrition, and anti-aging cosmetics (often referred to as "skincare from within"). Swedish pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers seek partners that can offer not only volume but also comprehensive documentation, batch stability, and strict compliance with European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) regulations.
Globally, the market for Pomegranate Extract is undergoing a significant transformation due to advancements in green extraction methodologies and the growing body of clinical research supporting its efficacy. Modern scientific literature emphasizes the role of punicalagins in mitigating oxidative stress, supporting endothelial function, and promoting gut health via microflora metabolism. This has sparked global demand across Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region.
As a leading global exporter, UniCare bridges the gap between massive agricultural cultivation and highly refined industrial processing. The global trade route for botanical extracts is shifting toward certified producers who can offer scale without compromising the integrity of raw active compounds. Our global supply chain ensures that our Swedish B2B clients receive extracts that match the stringent standards applied in European biotech laboratories, backed by state-of-the-art analytical validation.

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.
Our Pomegranate Extract is engineered to integrate seamlessly into various Swedish commercial formulations. Given the distinct demographics and industrial priorities in Sweden, we focus on three main target sectors:
Standardized Punicalagins (30% - 40% HPLC) are widely used in Sweden for heart health capsules and tablets, aiding in clean-label antioxidant formulations that appeal to modern Nordic health standards.
Our highly water-soluble pomegranate powders dissolve without sediment or off-flavors, perfect for high-end antioxidant-dense wellness drinks, juices, and powder mixes sold across Scandinavia.
Pomegranate's high Ellagic Acid profile acts as a natural UV shield and anti-aging active. Swedish cosmetics brands utilize our refined powder to create clean-label, plant-based skin creams and serums.
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. Detectable items are: Signature component detection (HPLC or UV), solvent residues GC, pesticide residues (organochlorine detection) GC-MS-MS, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, copper) ICP-MS microscopic identification, moisture, dry weight loss, ash, microbial limits, thin layer identification, weighing, conductivity, PH, sulfur dioxide residue, routine detection, etc.
Important testing instruments include: Two UHPLC Agilent 1290 ultra-high performance liquid chromatographs, four HPLC Agilent 1260 high performance liquid chromatography sets, two HPLC Shimadzu LC-20AT high performance liquid chromatographs, two HPLC Diane CU3000, two Shimadzu evaporative light scattering detectors 2000ES, one Shimadzu GC2010 gas chromatograph, and one Shimadzu AA-7000 atomic absorption system.

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.
As the international dietary supplement landscape demands higher eco-responsibility and chemical-free processing, UniCare is actively pioneering a green extraction roadmap. By transitionally adopting subcritical water extraction and enzymatic cell-wall disruption, we aim to increase the yields of Punicalagin A & B while eliminating organic solvent residues completely. This aligns directly with the environmental goals of our Swedish partners, who operate in a nation known for carbon neutrality and strict green manufacturing policies.
Furthermore, our ongoing research into micro-encapsulation techniques aims to improve the bioavailability of Pomegranate polyphenols. Polyphenols are naturally prone to degradation in the human gastrointestinal tract. By coating these molecules in natural plant lipids or dextrin structures, we can ensure sustained release and maximum biological efficacy, providing Swedish formulation brands with a distinct technological advantage in their domestic retail markets.
Navigating the complex import and regulatory systems of the European Union can be a bottleneck for growing supplement brands in Sweden. UniCare provides comprehensive, end-to-end B2B solutions to ensure a friction-free supply chain:
