Why Do Gummy Supplement Projects Fail?
Gummy projects fail when the brand treats the format like candy with actives added. A good gummy has to balance taste, texture, active load, processing and shelf life.
The dose does not fit the format
Some formulas ask too much from a gummy. High active load can affect taste, size, texture and customer experience.
Before a gummy project starts, the team should ask whether the desired dose can fit the format without making the product unpleasant.
The active does not like the process
Heat, water activity and processing time can matter. Ingredient handling should be part of the manufacturing method.
GIH discusses processing choices early because method affects whether the finished gummy makes sense.
The launch ignores packaging and storage
A gummy can be well made and still struggle if packaging, climate, shipping and storage are not planned.
The best gummy projects treat manufacturing, packaging and fulfillment as one connected product system.
