Gummy Vitamins vs Capsules vs Tablets for Your Brand

Write down the ingredient forms and amounts for a full serving. Ask your manufacturer to propose the piece count for each format. A gummy, a capsule and a tablet can hold different formulas. Compare the proposed Supplement Facts panels, serving counts and packaging before you compare quotes.

The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements lists gummies, capsules and tablets among supplement formats. Its guidance directs readers to the Supplement Facts panel for ingredient amounts. A format name alone does not establish quality or effectiveness.

Use gummies when your buyer wants a chewable format. Give the formulator your preferences for gelatin or pectin, sweeteners and texture. Request samples in the proposed serving size so your team can judge the full experience.

• Ask the formulator to confirm which nutrients fit your target serving.
• Review the ingredient list, including sweeteners and gelling agents.
• Discuss heat exposure during shipping and storage with your packaging team.

Start with gummy manufacturing and send the same brief you use for your capsule or tablet quote.

For capsules, ask the manufacturer to propose a shell type and size for your blend. Confirm the ingredient fill per capsule, the number per serving and the bottle count. Your buyer still needs a serving size they can follow.

Compare gelatin and vegetarian shell options against your product requirements. Ask which processing aids the manufacturer needs and how the team will test the finished product. Review our capsule manufacturing options.

For tablets, ask your manufacturer to assess the blend for compression. Discuss tablet dimensions, coatings and the intended use, such as swallowable or chewable. Confirm the excipients on the proposed label before you approve production.

Ask for the finished-product testing plan, including the checks the team uses for tablet integrity and disintegration. Review samples rather than choosing from a drawing. See tablet manufacturing.

• Formula and ingredient specifications for each full serving.
• Piece count per serving and servings per package.
• Packaging specifications and storage conditions.
• Testing, stability work and the documents you receive.
• Development fees, production minimums and reorder terms.

Confirm each item in writing. A lower bottle price can reflect a different serving count or formula. For a multivitamin project, review our multivitamin manufacturing page before you request samples.

Do not claim that a gummy, capsule or tablet works better because of its shape or format. Ask your regulatory advisor to review evidence for each product claim. The FDA structure/function claims guidance explains substantiation, notification and disclaimer requirements. A disclaimer does not replace evidence.
