High-potency botanical extracts formulated to meet the rigorous quality standards of the Mexican pharmaceutical and functional food sectors.
Driven by NOM-051 front-of-pack labeling laws, Mexican food & beverage companies are reformulating products with high-value natural antioxidants like Ellagic Acid and Anthocyanins.
Ensuring direct traceability and heavy metal compliance (via ICP-MS testing) is critical to clear COFEPRIS customs clearances and meet local phytosanitary mandates.
Mexico's strategic position as a global manufacturing hub requires local warehouses and plants to secure resilient supply links with certified extraction leaders.
As the Mexican health sector pivots toward preventative medicine and clean-label dietary supplements, standardized botanical extracts are playing a critical role. Our Pomegranate Extract (Granada), standardized to high concentrations of Punicalagins and Ellagic Acid, serves as a cornerstone antioxidant for cardiovascular health and anti-aging cosmetics in Mexico's major industrial manufacturing zones like Guadalajara and Monterrey.
Similarly, the integration of Black Currant Powder (Grosella Negra) has experienced a strong CAGR in the Latin American market. The demand for Black Currant Powder in Mexico is mainly driven by its rich content of Anthocyanins and Vitamin C, which is widely utilized in eye-health supplements, sports nutrition mixes, and natural beverage colorants replacing artificial red dyes.
"The synergistic blending of Pomegranate Ellagic Acid and Black Currant Anthocyanins delivers a highly stable, bioavailable matrix that satisfies the stringent guidelines of the Mexican Pharmacopoeia (FEUM) and international dietary supplement regulations."
Sourcing large-scale raw materials requires compliance, consistency, and structural resilience. With our deep-rooted partnerships in China, UniCare ensures a transparent pipeline. Through our established logistics network, we offer Mexican importers direct container shipping to primary ports of entry such as Manzanillo and Veracruz. We facilitate all customs documentations, including Free Sale Certificates (CLV), Certificates of Origin, and complete physicochemical testing profiles.

Securing raw material quality from seed to active compound.
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 established a dedicated R&D department for natural fermentation products. By increasing investment in fermentation technology, we aim to break through traditional processes and lead industry development.
UniCare has deep cooperation with Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation, jointly developing and converting novel raw materials for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and health applications into mass-produced products.
To control raw materials efficiently, our procurement system extends directly to the farm level, ensuring raw material traceability for each product batch. Storage processes are executed under our quality management system, with rigorous monitoring of active ingredient levels, moisture, total ash, heavy metals, and pesticide residues.
Additionally, UniCare cooperates with growers to establish dedicated ginkgo leaf, epimedium, phellodendron, and olive leaf planting bases. Many of these bases operate under GACP management guidelines. We also partner with plant nursery developers to isolate and propagate high-content cultivars, helping to reduce costs for end-users.
A professional framework for formulating high-performance antioxidant products in Latin America.
Industrial extraction of Pomegranate Extract focuses on maximizing the yield of water-soluble punicalagins (Alpha & Beta isomers) while retaining ellagic acid stability. Our factory uses a proprietary membrane separation process followed by polymeric resin adsorption. This methodology avoids chlorinated solvents, ensuring that final residues comply with United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP) guidelines, which are also highly valued by COFEPRIS auditors in Mexico.
When formulating natural anti-aging or cardiovascular health supplements, compounding Pomegranate Extract with Black Currant Powder creates a balanced antioxidant profile. The combination brings together polyphenols, punicalagins, and anthocyanins (such as cyanidin-3-glucoside and delphinidin-3-rutinoside).
