How Gummies & Capsules Are Made

Background reading for buyers evaluating a format. Understanding how each one is produced makes it easier to brief a formula accurately, read a specification sheet, and plan a realistic launch calendar.

Gummy Format

Inside a Gummy Program

The gummies in the RV Pharma catalog are pectin-based rather than gelatin-based. Pectin sets from citrus and apple fiber, which keeps a formula vegan and suitable for kosher and halal programs, carries a cleaner flavor release, and holds shape better in warm transit.

Capsule Format

Inside a Capsule Program

Capsules are the fastest format to bring to market and the most forgiving of high-dose actives. There is no heat step, no sugar system, and no flavor work — powder goes into a shell exactly as blended.

Choosing a Format

Gummies vs. Capsules

The right format depends on your dose, your channel, and how fast you need to be on shelf.

Quality Control

Where a Batch Gets Checked

In a compliant program, testing happens at four points rather than one. A finished-goods test on its own cannot tell you whether a raw material was substituted upstream — which is why the documentation set matters as much as the final Certificate of Analysis.
