The short answer

Last updated July 2026

A gummy manufacturer formulates and produces gummies you sell under your own brand, whether a vitamin gummy, a supplement gummy with actives like melatonin or collagen, or a candy gummy. In the US, gummy supplements are made in facilities that follow FDA dietary supplement cGMP rules (21 CFR 111), while candy gummies follow food rules. Private label gummy runs commonly start around 5,000 to 25,000 units or bottles per SKU and ship in 8 to 16 weeks, and pectin (vegan) or gelatin base, active dosages, and third-party testing move the price. To find a maker, decide supplement versus candy and pectin versus gelatin, shortlist gummy manufacturers that run your type, send each the same brief so quotes are comparable, and verify the facility and its cGMP status before you commit.

Why Suppliers

Sourcing a gummy manufacturer sounds like one search until you learn that a vitamin gummy, a melatonin sleep gummy, an apple cider vinegar gummy, and a sour candy gummy can come from four different kinds of factory. Supplement gummies are made under FDA dietary supplement rules with active-ingredient dosing, stability testing, and certificates of analysis; candy gummies are a food product with none of that overhead. Pectin gummies for a vegan claim run on different lines than gelatin gummies. Minimums, per-unit prices, and testing scope swing hard between makers, so a new brand ends up holding a stack of quotes that never line up.

Suppliers is the AI sourcing agent for that search. Describe the gummy you want to sell under your own brand, whether it is a private label multivitamin gummy, a custom collagen or elderberry supplement, a vegan pectin gummy, or a candy line, and the agent finds gummy manufacturers that run it and lays their minimum order quantities, private label versus custom options, cGMP and certifications, lead times, and indicative quotes out side by side. Every match carries its vetting evidence: identity verification, registry cross-checks, surfaced certifications, and any risk flags. The agent shortlists and ranks; you review the evidence and pick the maker who produces your first run.

01

Supplement or candy, matched

A dietary supplement gummy and a confectionery gummy are made under different rules on different lines. Say which you are launching and the shortlist only includes makers set up for that regulatory path, so a candy line does not land at a supplement facility priced for testing you do not need.

02

Pectin or gelatin surfaced

Vegan pectin gummies and traditional gelatin gummies run on different formulas and equipment. State your base and the shortlist prioritizes makers already producing it, so a vegan claim is backed by a factory that actually runs pectin.

03

MOQs a first run can afford

Minimum order quantities are compared across makers so a new brand can find a program near the lower end instead of the large custom-only runs a big contract line quotes by default.

04

cGMP and testing visible

For supplement gummies, FDA dietary supplement cGMP (21 CFR 111) and third-party certifications like NSF or a GMP registration are surfaced where a maker holds them, so you can see who is set up for the compliance your label implies.

05

Actives and dosing considered

Vitamins, melatonin, collagen, elderberry, biotin, and apple cider vinegar each need a maker that can formulate and stability-test that active at your dose. The shortlist reflects who can run your formula, not just any gummy.

06

Flat price, no commission

One predictable monthly fee in USD. We take no percentage of your order, so nothing pushes you toward a bigger run or a particular manufacturer.

02

Buyer's guide

What to know before you commit.

Supplement gummies and candy gummies are different businesses

The first fork is what your gummy legally is. A gummy that makes a structure or function claim, supports sleep, immunity, hair growth, is a dietary supplement in the US and must be made under FDA cGMP for supplements (21 CFR 111): validated actives, batch records, stability testing, and a certificate of analysis for each lot. A gummy sold purely as candy is a conventional food with far lighter requirements and usually a lower price per unit.

That distinction decides which factory you need before anything else. A confectionery house that makes sour bears may not be set up to dose and document vitamins, and a supplement gummy facility carries testing overhead a candy brand should not pay for. Decide which product you are launching, and tell every maker plainly, because the answer changes the MOQ, the price, and the paperwork you walk away with.

Pectin versus gelatin, and the vegan claim

Most gummies use either gelatin, an animal-derived protein that gives the classic chewy bite, or pectin, a plant fiber that supports a vegan and often halal or kosher-friendly gummy. The choice is not just marketing: pectin and gelatin behave differently in production, set differently, and tolerate heat and moisture differently, so a maker tends to specialize.

If a vegan, vegetarian, or plant-based claim is central to your brand, pectin is effectively a hard filter on your manufacturer list, and you want a maker who runs it every day rather than one improvising a first batch. Ask which base a factory is set up for, whether it can hold your texture across the actives you want to add, and whether the finished gummy stays stable in the climate you will ship and store it in. Actives, acids, and high humidity all fight gummy stability, and an experienced maker will tell you what your formula can and cannot do.

Actives, dosing, and third-party testing

Supplement gummies live or die on their actives. A gummy has to carry your dose of vitamin D, melatonin, collagen, biotin, elderberry, or apple cider vinegar through mixing, cooking, and months on a shelf, and some actives degrade or taste bitter enough to fight the flavor system. A serious maker formulates for the label claim to hold through the stated shelf life, which is why overages and stability testing exist.

Third-party testing is what turns your claim into something a retailer or Amazon will trust. Ask whether the manufacturer runs or arranges lot testing for potency and contaminants, whether it provides a certificate of analysis per batch, and whether it holds a GMP registration or NSF certification. For a supplement brand these are not nice-to-haves; they are the documents that keep your product on the shelf and out of a warning letter. Confirm they are in scope before you sign, not after your first lot ships.

What to send a gummy manufacturer for a real quote

Give the product type (supplement or candy), the base (pectin or gelatin), your actives and target dosages, flavor and color direction, any vegan, organic, or sugar-free requirement, packaging (bottle and cap, pouch, count per unit), and the quantity at two or three volumes so you can see where the price breaks. A reference product you admire helps a maker match your intent fast.

Ask for formulation and setup fees separately from the per-unit cost, the sample lead time and fee, whether stability and potency testing are included, whether a certificate of analysis comes with each lot, and whether the sample credits against production. A maker who itemizes actives, base, flavor system, packaging, and testing is one you can compare against the next; a single bundled number hides where your money goes and whether the compliance you need is even in the quote.

People also ask

The questions buyers actually search.

How do I find a gummy manufacturer?

Decide first whether you are making a dietary supplement or a candy gummy, and whether you want a pectin or gelatin base, because those choices decide which factories can quote you. Then shortlist gummy manufacturers set up for that type, send each the same brief with your actives and dosages, confirm cGMP and testing where you need them, and verify the facility before committing to a run.

What is the minimum order for private label gummies?

Private label gummy supplements typically start around 5,000 to 12,000 bottles per SKU, with custom formulas and specialty bases running higher because of formulation and testing. Candy gummies can start a little lower. Ask each maker for its per-SKU MOQ and whether that is units or finished bottles, since the two are not the same.

How much does it cost to make gummy supplements?

The main costs are the first production run at the maker's minimum, formulation and setup fees, packaging, and third-party testing. Actives, dosage, a vegan pectin base, and organic inputs move the unit price the most. Ask each maker to itemize actives, base, flavor, packaging, and testing, and to quote at two or three volumes so you see where the price breaks.

Are gummy supplements regulated by the FDA?

Yes. Gummy dietary supplements must be made under FDA current good manufacturing practice for supplements (21 CFR 111), which covers actives, batch records, and testing, though the FDA does not approve supplements before sale. A gummy sold as candy is regulated as a conventional food. Confirm your manufacturer is set up and registered for the path your product needs.

What is the difference between pectin and gelatin gummies?

Gelatin gummies use an animal-derived protein for the classic chewy bite, while pectin gummies use a plant fiber that supports a vegan, and often kosher or halal, claim. They run on different formulas and set differently, so makers tend to specialize. Choose pectin if a plant-based claim is central to your brand, and source a maker that runs it routinely.

Can I sell private label gummies on Amazon?

Yes. Private label vitamin and supplement gummies are a common Amazon model: source under your own brand, enroll in Brand Registry, and list. Amazon may request a certificate of analysis and proof of cGMP manufacturing for supplements, so confirm your maker provides lot testing and documentation before you launch.
