Nutraceutical gummies on the riseNutraceutical gummies on the rise

You could say gummies are the perfect medium for nutraceuticals. Highly accurate dosing, easy to combine different types of active ingredients and excellent shelf-life stability. They also come in appealing flavors, unpleasant tastes can be masked out and they are potentially low in sugar or even sugar-free. The rise of vitamins and other supplements in a sweet gummy form has risen significantly over the past years. This market of adding supplements in candy makes it possible to take daily recommended vitamins and supplements in a more straightforward way. Some examples of these actives can be Calcium, Omega 3, Melatonine, Multivitamins, Cranberry, or Vitamines for hair, skin or nails. We at Tanis understand that the requirements within this market are stricter and that this requires a different approach, for which our Tanis OTC production lines have been specifically developed.

Perfect examples are sleep and relaxation gummies. Consumer demand for botanical sleep and relaxation supplements such as valerian, chamomile, lavender, ashwagandha and lemon balm is high. And that means retailers are happy to give them plenty of shelf space. And now, traditional products such as teas, tablets and capsules are increasingly being joined by gummies, which provide a convenient and appealing alternative. These natural supplements are perfectly suitable for dosing via gummies. However, each has specific properties which call for alterations in the production process.

Tanis provides the right production line for making gummies with nutraceuticals. We also offer a world of support, for every need.

But there is, of course, still plenty you’ll want to know before you commit. We’re used to that at Tanis. In fact, we have a webinar course designed specifically to get newcomers up to speed.

Knowledge that could inspire your next great idea with active gummies.

The series of three webinars guides you through the world of gums and jellies and the possible applications. In the first webinar you will get up-to-speed on ingredient and recipe knowledge. See how gummies and jellies are made on a small scale in the laboratory. Find out what can go wrong and learn about testing the quality of finished products.

The second course provides all the information you need for manufacturing gums and jellies. We’ll take you through every part of the process, including the possible variations, as you learn about kitchens, depositors, conditioning rooms and finishing equipment.

The last part focuses on the functional candies market. You’ll learn about the active candies market itself, and how this differs from conventional candy. On a practical level, we’ll explain the importance of recipe development, with clear examples of why you can´t just add functional ingredients without adjusting the process. Everything will be illustrated through demonstrations.

Each webinar session will consist of a mix of pre-recorded information and live presentation. Participants can submit questions via the questionnaire tool during the session, for one of our Tanis Academy food technologists to answer live to the entire audience.
