Kids' Probiotic Gummies: Full Customization from Formula to Finished Product

The kids' probiotic market is exploding as parents discover the link between gut health and immunity, digestion, mood, and even skin health. But traditional probiotics come in capsules or powders that children refuse to take.

Probiotic gummies solve that problem — and we take it further. We don't offer a one-size-fits-all product. We offer a complete OEM/ODM customization service that lets you build your brand, your probiotic strain profile, your colony-forming units (CFUs), and your positioning — down to the smallest detail.

1. Formula Customization: Build Your Unique Probiotic Profile

You define every strain, CFU count, additional ingredients, and functional claim.

Probiotic Strains Available (Pick & Mix)

Additional Functional Boosters (Synbiotic Blends)

Boost the efficacy of your probiotic with prebiotics and complementary ingredients:

Protection Method Options

3.Color Customization

• Natural colors (spirulina for green, turmeric for yellow, beetroot for red/pink, carrot for orange, blueberry for purple)

• Synthetic colors (FD&C Red 40, Blue 1, Yellow 5, Yellow 6 — cost-effective)

4. Packaging Customization: Protecting Viability + Building Brand

Probiotic packaging must protect from moisture, heat, and oxygen. We customize packaging for both viability protection and brand impact.

Primary Packaging (Individual Sachets / Stick Packs) — Best for Viability

Individual sachets provide the best moisture and oxygen protection for probiotics.

7.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What's the difference between spore-forming and non-spore probiotics in gummies?
A: Spore-forming (Bacillus) survive the heat of gummy cooking and can be added before cooking. Non-spore (Lactobacillus/Bifidobacterium) must be added after cooking or spray-coated on the surface. Spore-forming are more stable but have fewer strain options.

Q: Can you make a gummy with 10 billion CFU?
A: Yes, but there are trade-offs. Higher CFU often means larger gummy size, different texture, or higher cost. We can produce up to 10B CFU per gummy depending on strain.

Q: Do I need to refrigerate probiotic gummies?
A: Depends on the formula. Spore-forming strains (Bacillus) are shelf-stable. Non-spore strains (Lactobacillus/Bifidobacterium) may require refrigeration — or we can formulate for room temperature stability using microencapsulation. You choose.

Q: What is the shelf life?
A: Typically 18 months for spore-forming strains, 12 months for non-spore strains (room temperature), or 18 months refrigerated. Stability studies can confirm exact shelf life for your specific formula.

Q: Can you add prebiotics to the same gummy?
A: Yes. FOS, GOS, and inulin can be added directly to the gummy base. This creates a synbiotic (probiotic + prebiotic) product.

Q: Can you make sugar-free probiotic gummies?
A: Yes. Allulose, monk fruit, and stevia are compatible with probiotics. We recommend ordering a sugar-free sample.

Q: Can you put two different probiotics in one gummy?
A: Yes. Multi-strain formulas are common. We can combine up to 4 strains in one gummy.

Q: Do you have child-resistant packaging?
A: Yes. Bottles can use child-resistant caps. Pouches can use child-resistant film.

Q: What is your minimum order for a custom mold (my logo)?
A: Typically 5,000–10,000 units depending on mold complexity. Mold fee is a one-time charge (typically 500–500–2,000 USD). We keep the mold for future reorders.
