From rough concept
to shelf-ready gummy.
Every gummy we make passes through a seven-stage development process — engineered for repeatable results, regulatory compliance, and cost-effective scale. This is what happens between your brief and your first production run.
Seven stages.
One clean handoff.
Brief, formulate, validate, scale. No surprises at the end.
Concept & Brief
We start with your product vision — target consumer, claims you want to make, dosage philosophy, flavor direction, and budget. Our team translates that into a working brief that aligns marketing intent with what's manufacturable, stable, and regulatorily defensible.
Ingredient Selection
We select active ingredients based on bioavailability, clinical backing, supplier traceability, and regulatory status. Every raw material is sourced from approved suppliers and verified for identity, purity, strength, and composition before it touches a formula.
Bench Formulation
Our R&D team builds the formula at lab scale — pectin or carrageenan base, sugar system or sugar-free, dosing accuracy, bitterness masking, mouthfeel tuning. We iterate fast: most projects see three to five bench versions before we land on the lead formula.
Pilot Run
The lead formula goes onto the line at pilot scale (typically 25–50 kg batch). This is where we prove the formula behaves the same under real depositing, cooling, drying, and curing conditions as it did at the bench. We capture process parameters, yield data, and finished-product specs.
Stability & Compatibility
Pilot samples enter accelerated and real-time stability protocols — actives potency, water activity, texture, color, and microbial limits tracked across temperature and humidity conditions. Compatibility studies confirm the formula plays nicely with the chosen packaging (bottles, pouches, blister packs).
Scale-Up & Process Lock
The validated formula is scaled to full production batch size (200–500 kg+). We finalize the master manufacturing record, in-process controls, sampling plan, and release specifications. Operators, supervisors, and QA are trained to the SOP before the first commercial batch runs.
First Production Run
Your first commercial batch — manufactured under 21 CFR Part 111 cGMP, packaged in your finished artwork, released by QA with a full Certificate of Analysis. From here, every reorder runs against the same locked master record, so what you launched with is what your customers keep getting.
What we can build.
Format-flexible, claim-aware, and built for the SKUs your retailers will actually accept.
Pectin & Carrageenan Bases
Vegan and vegetarian gummy systems with the texture profile of traditional gelatin — kosher, halal, and plant-based ready.
Sugar-Free & Low-Sugar
Allulose, monk fruit, erythritol, and isomalt systems for diabetic-friendly, keto, and clean-label positioning.
Organic Certified
USDA Organic compliant formulations — first to market with Organic Turmeric Gummy (Turmerica®, 2016).
Branded & Patented Actives
Formulation experience with branded ingredients across women's health, sleep, weight management, GLP-1 support, and sports nutrition.
Custom Shapes & Colors
Berry, button, fruit, bear, ring, and custom molds — natural color systems (fruit & vegetable juice concentrates, beta-carotene, anthocyanins).
Reg-Ready Documentation
21 CFR Part 111 cGMP, BRCGS Storage & Distribution, plus complete dossier support — MMRs, COAs, allergen statements, and FSVP for importers.
A track record, not a promise.
