Dietary supplement gummies
As consumers focus more on taste, fun and experience, functional gummies have become a key direction for product differentiation.
Functional gummies that consumers love to repurchase
Gummies have turned daily supplementation into something consumers actually enjoy — and repurchase. Better taste, playful shapes and a younger visual language make functional gummies the fastest-growing format in children's nutrition, women's wellness, beauty and sleep categories.
As a gummy supplement manufacturer, Zhongke Zhigu produces functional gummies at up to roughly 15 tonnes per day under NSF GMP (ANSI 455-2), FDA registration, BRCGS and ISO 22000. We formulate across four gel systems — pectin (fully vegan), gelatin, starch and blended bases — so texture, clarity, stability and cost can each be tuned to your product's positioning.
Formulation is where gummies get technically demanding. Actives such as vitamins, apple cider vinegar, melatonin and botanicals behave differently under gummy processing, and sugar reduction changes texture and shelf life. Our R&D team validates active stability, masks off-flavours, and offers reduced-sugar and sugar-free sweetener systems that hold up in real shelf conditions — so the gummy that wins your samples panel is the same gummy your customer tastes a year later.
Custom moulds (bears, hearts, berries, bottles and bespoke shapes), natural colour and flavour options, and retail-ready bottle, pouch and blister packaging complete the workflow — from concept and sampling through full-scale production with batch-level traceability.

Frequently asked questions
Do you make vegan / pectin gummies?
Yes. Pectin-based gummies provide a fully vegan, plant-based option with a clean bite and excellent clarity; we also produce gelatin, starch and blended-gel gummies where a classic chew or different cost profile fits better.
Can you make sugar-free gummies?
Yes — we offer reduced-sugar and sugar-free systems using alternative sweeteners. Because sweetener systems change texture and stability, our R&D team re-validates each formula rather than simply swapping ingredients.
What actives can be added to gummies?
Common actives include multivitamins, apple cider vinegar, biotin, ashwagandha, elderberry, melatonin, collagen, omega-3 and fibre. We validate stability for each active under gummy processing and shelf conditions before production.
What is your gummy production capacity?
Our functional-gummy lines produce up to roughly 15 tonnes per day across pectin, gelatin, starch and blended bases — enough to scale a winning SKU without changing suppliers.
Can you create custom gummy shapes for my brand?
Yes. Standard moulds include bears, hearts, cubes, berries and bottles, and bespoke moulds can be developed so your product is recognisable on shelf and in social content.
Are your gummies suitable for children's products?
Yes — children's nutrition is a core gummy application. We formulate age-appropriate doses, child-friendly flavours and textures, and packaging with appropriate labelling for your target market.
What certifications cover your gummy production?
Gummy manufacturing runs under NSF GMP (ANSI 455-2) with FDA facility registration, BRCGS, ISO 22000, HACCP, FSSC 22000 and HALAL certification, supporting export to the US, EU, Middle East and Asia.
How do you keep actives stable in gummies?
Actives are dosed with overages calculated from stability data, added at the right process stage to limit heat exposure, and verified by finished-product testing. Batch-level traceability links raw material, process and test records.
Can I get gummy samples before committing to production?
Yes — sampling is part of our standard workflow. Share your concept or formula and target market, and we will develop samples for taste, texture and stability evaluation before any production commitment.
