Custom functional gummies for Australian brands — from formulation and pilot samples to production, packaging, labelling and dispatch.
Manufacturing Health Solutions (MHS) develops and manufactures custom gummies in Brisbane for startups, practitioner brands, eCommerce brands, wellness founders, and established supplement companies expanding into gummy formats.
We handle the full process in-house: formulation, benchtop development, gummy cooking and depositing, curing, coating, demoulding, filling, labelling, batch coding, and warehousing support. That means fewer handovers, faster decisions, and a cleaner path from concept to finished product.
We manufacture food products only. Claims and labelling must comply with FSANZ requirements. Therapeutic / TGA products are not part of this service.
We focus on custom gummy products that are commercially viable, technically realistic, and suitable for Australian food compliance.
Gummies designed for wellness and nutrition products where convenience, flavour and repeat purchase matter.
Custom formulations for brands wanting functional ingredients in an easier-to-take format.
Gummies that balance user experience, flavour and active delivery for consumer-friendly wellness products.
We offer a sugar-free pectin gummy base that is vegan-friendly and suitable for brands targeting a cleaner positioning.
Gelatine systems allow substantially higher active loading where the formula and commercial brief require it.
Most gummy manufacturers are built around larger runs, fixed systems, or limited flexibility. MHS is set up differently.
Some ingredients do not behave well in gummy systems due to heat exposure, solubility, texture impact, bitterness, or stability.
Active loading depends heavily on the base system. As a guide, sugar-free pectin gummies can carry up to around 250 mg per gummy, while gelatine gummies may carry up to around 2 g per gummy.
Functional ingredients can create bitterness, sourness, mineral notes, or lingering aftertaste. A good gummy is not just about active load — it also has to be chewable and repeat-purchase friendly.
Water activity, packaging, ingredient choice, and environmental exposure all affect texture stability and shelf life. These decisions need to be made early, not after the formula is locked.
If your concept depends on a very specific shape, very high loading, or a difficult flavour profile, it is better to test feasibility early before committing to packaging or launch dates.
This is designed for brands that want one manufacturing partner to manage more of the launch pathway.
Gummy projects vary significantly depending on active loading, flavour complexity, packaging format, and whether you need full development or already have a working formula.
To make quoting simpler, we normally start with a technical brief and confirm whether your concept fits a pectin or gelatine system before pricing development and production.
Many gummy projects fail because the brand tries to solve formulation, packaging, compliance, graphics, and fulfilment separately. We can support the broader launch pathway so fewer things get missed.
If you are still early in the process, start with formulation and packaging planning first. If you are closer to launch, we can align manufacturing, label support and dispatch.
