Maca Gummy Manufacturer for Private Label Brands
EUPHM produces maca gummies in a GMP-certified facility in Guangdong, China. MOQ starts at 1,000 units per SKU, samples ship in 7-10 working days, and mass production runs 20-35 working days.
Overview
Maca gummies combine a root ingredient with a chewable dose format. Gelatinised maca, black maca or red maca can all be used, with pectin or gelatin bases. EUPHM handles formulation, pectin or gelatin gummy production, flavouring, bottling and labelling. The plant holds GMP, ISO 22000 and HACCP certifications, with halal and vegan options available on request.
Production Capacity and Equipment
Changeover between maca and other gummy SKUs follows a documented cleaning procedure. The line is flushed with food-grade sanitiser and swabbed for allergen and colour carryover. For pilot runs under 1,000 units, a smaller 200 kg batch line is used. That line supports 500 to 2,000 unit runs for market testing. Lead times for pilot runs are 15-20 working days, including sample approval. EUPHM schedules production slots in 5-working-day blocks to keep changeovers predictable.
Maca Forms, Dosage and Formulation
Pectin gummies are set with fruit pectin and a calcium source. They are vegan and have a softer chew. Gelatin gummies use bovine or porcine gelatin and give a firmer, springier texture. For halal certification, bovine gelatin from a certified source is used. Sweeteners include cane sugar, tapioca syrup, allulose, erythritol or stevia. Sugar-free maca gummies typically use allulose and stevia. Natural colours come from fruit and vegetable concentrates. Flavours are oil-based or water-soluble, depending on the base.
Quality Control and Compliance
Label review covers FDA 21 CFR 101, EU 1169/2011 and GCC labelling rules. The facility is FDA-registered for food and dietary supplements. Certifications include GMP, ISO 22000 and HACCP. Halal, organic and kosher certificates are available for specific SKUs. Vegan claims require no animal-derived ingredients, including the gummy base and any coating. Documentation for customs includes commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, health certificate and COA. Shipping terms are FOB Shenzhen or Yantian, with air freight for samples.
Packaging, Labelling and Retail Readiness
We provide dieline templates and artwork guidance before printing. Label proofs are approved by the brand owner, and a pre-production sample is retained. Packaging components are inspected for seal integrity, label placement and code legibility. Bottles are induction-sealed and leak-tested on a sampling basis. For stick packs and sachets, seal strength and tear-notch consistency are checked. Carton drop testing follows ISTA 1A or 3A on request. All packaging materials are food-grade and meet EU 10/2011 or FDA 21 CFR requirements for direct food contact.
MOQ, Lead Times and Delivery
Documents provided with each shipment include the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of analysis, material safety data sheet (MSDS), and a free-sale certificate where required. A phytosanitary certificate is not normally required for processed maca gummies, but can be arranged if the destination country requests it. Certificates of origin can be issued for preferential tariff treatment. We also provide a statement of conformity for food-contact packaging and, on request, a declaration of allergen status and GMO status.
Batch Testing, COAs and Retention Samples
Retention samples of every batch are kept for the full shelf life plus six months, stored under controlled temperature and humidity. Stability protocols follow ICH Q1A(R2) where applicable: 25°C/60% RH for long-term and 40°C/75% RH for accelerated. We test at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months for potency, microbials, disintegration and sensory attributes. Accelerated data supports a 24-month shelf life claim; real-time data is added as it becomes available. Stability summaries can be provided for your regulatory dossier.

Questions buyers ask.
What is the MOQ for maca gummies?+
MOQ is 1,000 units per SKU for retail bottling. Lower quantities are possible for pilot runs using the 200 kg batch line. Pilot runs typically range from 500 to 2,000 units and carry a higher per-unit cost.
Can you make vegan maca gummies?+
Yes. Pectin-based gummies are vegan and use no animal-derived ingredients. The base, sweetener, flavour and colour are all reviewed for vegan compliance. Vegan certification is available if required.
How long does sampling take?+
Sample lead time is 7-10 working days after you confirm the formulation brief. Samples are shipped by air. You review taste, texture and label artwork before placing a production order.
What is the production lead time?+
Mass production takes 20-35 working days after sample approval and deposit. This covers ingredient sourcing, gummy production, bottling, labelling and QC release. Peak season may add 5 working days.
Which certifications do you hold?+
The facility holds GMP, ISO 22000 and HACCP. Halal, organic and kosher certificates are available for specific SKUs. Vegan claims are supported by ingredient declarations. The plant is FDA-registered for food and dietary supplements.
Can you supply maca gummies with a specific macamide content?+
Yes. We can standardise the maca extract to a defined macamide or glucosinolate level, typically 0.4% to 1.2% macamides, depending on the raw material grade. The specification is agreed before sampling, and each batch COA reports the measured content. If you require a specific ratio of black, red or yellow maca, we document the blend ratio and verify identity by macroscopic and microscopic examination.
Do you offer low-sugar or sugar-free maca gummies?+
Yes. We can produce reduced-sugar and sugar-free maca gummies using maltitol, erythritol or allulose, with pectin or gelatin bases. Sugar-free pectin gummies require careful control of water activity and pH to maintain texture. We recommend a sample trial to confirm taste and stability. The supplement facts panel will reflect the sugar alcohol content, and we provide the full nutritional breakdown for your label.
What is your policy on heavy metals and pesticide residues in maca?+
Every incoming lot of maca root powder is tested for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury against EU or USP limits. Pesticide residue screening is performed on a risk basis, typically every third lot or when the supplier changes. We retain the test reports and include the results in the batch COA. If a lot exceeds the agreed specification, it is rejected and not used in production.
What is the shelf life of your maca gummies and how is it validated?+
Shelf life is typically 18–24 months from production date, depending on the gummy base and packaging. We validate via accelerated stability testing at 40°C/75% RH for six months, which supports a 24-month claim, and confirm with real-time data at 25°C/60% RH. Stability protocols cover potency, microbials, disintegration and sensory attributes. A stability summary can be provided for your regulatory file.
Can you produce maca gummies with a specific macamide profile or extract ratio?+
Yes. We can use gelatinised maca with a defined macamide content (e.g. 0.4% or 0.6%) or a specific extract ratio (4:1, 6:1, 10:1). The COA will state the tested macamide value by HPLC. If you require a proprietary profile, we can work with your supplied extract or source a matched raw material. Minimum order for custom extract is typically 5,000 units per SKU.
Do you provide free-sale certificates and other export documents?+
Yes. We provide a free-sale certificate, certificate of origin, MSDS, and phytosanitary certificate where applicable. For EU or UK orders, we can supply a statement of compliance with food supplement regulations. Documents are issued per shipment and can be legalised or apostilled on request. Lead time for legalisation is typically 5–7 working days and may incur additional cost.
