Magnesium Gummy Manufacturer for Retail-Ready Supplements

Our Guangdong facility runs two dedicated gummy lines for magnesium products. One line handles pectin-based gummies for vegan and halal markets; the other runs gelatin for standard chewables. Each line produces 1.2 to 1.8 tonnes per shift, equal to roughly 300,000–450,000 gummies per day at 3 g fill weight. We bottle in 60, 90, 120, and 180 count PET or HDPE jars. Wide-mouth and child-resistant closures are available. Blister packs and stick packs are also supported. Changeover between magnesium citrate, glycinate, and oxide recipes follows a full clean-down and line clearance.

Tooling is in-house. We cut custom shapes and emboss logos on request. Standard moulds include rounds, bears, and squares. For pilot runs, we use existing moulds to keep costs low. For commercial launches, a custom mould takes 15–20 days and a one-time tooling fee. Line capacity is reserved in 5-day blocks. This lets us slot repeat orders without waiting for a full production window. Brands with rolling forecasts get priority scheduling.

Magnesium has a natural bitter and chalky profile. We mask it with natural flavours, citric acid, and a pectin or gelatin matrix. Common flavour pairings include raspberry, orange, mixed berry, and lemon. We can also do unflavoured or lightly sweetened versions. Sweetener systems include cane sugar, tapioca syrup, allulose, stevia, and monk fruit. Each batch is tested for pH, water activity, and texture. Target water activity is below 0.65 to support a 24-month shelf life. We run accelerated stability at 40°C and 75% relative humidity for 3 months.

Magnesium source affects taste and label claims. Magnesium citrate offers high bioavailability but a tart note. Magnesium glycinate is milder and often chosen for sleep or calm positioning. Magnesium malate has a slightly sour profile. Oxide is cost-effective but less soluble. We help you choose a source that fits your dosage and sensory targets. You can combine sources, such as citrate and glycinate, to balance cost and mouthfeel. We also offer organic-compliant options if you hold USDA or EU organic certification.

Every magnesium gummy batch is tested for elemental magnesium content by ICP-MS. We also run micro tests for total plate count, yeast, and mould. Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury) are screened against USP and EU limits. COAs are issued per batch. Retention samples are kept for 24 months. Our facility is FDA-registered and follows 21 CFR Part 111. We are audited annually for GMP, ISO 22000, and HACCP. For halal claims, we source certified gelatin and run dedicated production windows.

Documentation supports your market entry. We provide certificates of analysis, certificates of origin, allergen statements, and nutritional panels. For EU clients, we align with EC 1924/2006 health claim rules. For US clients, we follow FDA labelling guidance. For Middle East clients, we supply halal certificates from recognised bodies. We also handle Arabic and bilingual labels. Shipping is via FOB Shenzhen or Yantian. Air freight and express courier are available for samples and small pilot batches. Lead times for ocean freight to Los Angeles run 18–25 days; to Rotterdam, 22–30 days.

Magnesium gummies are packed in HDPE bottles (60, 90 or 120 count) with induction seals and child-resistant caps where required, or in PVC/PVDC blisters, stick packs and single-serve sachets. Bottle labels include the FDA dietary-supplement panel: serving size, amount per serving as elemental magnesium, percent daily value, other ingredients, allergen statement, and the mandatory “Keep out of reach of children” caution. Lot number and best-by date are inkjet-coded on the base or neck, with a second code on the carton.

Cartons are specified to buyer artwork with FNSKU or GTIN barcodes, and we verify scannability before mass production. Pallet configuration is typically 48 cartons per layer, 6 layers high (288 cartons per pallet), stretch-wrapped and corner-boarded. For Amazon FBA, we apply FNSKU labels, poly-bag or shrink-wrap as required, and can print and apply retail-ready carton markings. All packaging components are checked against the approved bill of materials before the run starts.

Sample orders for magnesium gummies ship in 7–10 working days after formula and artwork approval. Pilot runs start from 1,000 units; standard MOQ is 1,000 units per SKU. Mass production takes 20–35 working days after sample approval, depending on flavour count, packaging format and whether the magnesium source is already in stock. We confirm the production slot in writing once the deposit is received.

Air freight to the US or EU typically takes 5–10 days door-to-door; sea freight takes 25–40 days port-to-port. We quote EXW, FOB Shenzhen/Hong Kong, or DDP for buyers who prefer a landed-cost price. Shipping documents include commercial invoice, packing list, COA, MSDS, free-sale certificate and, where applicable, phytosanitary certificate for plant-derived ingredients. We do not issue certificates we cannot support with test data.

Each magnesium gummy batch is tested at three stages: incoming raw materials, in-process gummy samples, and finished packed goods. Identity testing by FTIR confirms the magnesium salt form (citrate, glycinate, malate or oxide). Potency is assayed by ICP-OES to verify elemental magnesium within 95–105% of label claim. Microbial testing covers total aerobic count, yeast and mould, E. coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus, with limits aligned to USP <2021> and <2022>. Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury) are screened by ICP-MS against EU and US pharmacopoeial limits.

Disintegration testing follows USP <701> for gelatin gummies and <2040> for pectin systems, with typical targets of 15–30 minutes depending on the matrix. Water activity is checked to confirm shelf stability below 0.65. Texture and pH are monitored for consistency across the run. All results are recorded in a batch manufacturing record (BMR) and batch packaging record (BPR), which are retained for five years. Deviations trigger an investigation and, if needed, a re-test or rejection before release.

A certificate of analysis (COA) is issued per batch and includes the product name, batch number, manufacturing date, expiry date, tests performed, specification limits, results and release signature. COAs are available in English and can be formatted to your QA template. Retention samples of every batch are stored for at least two years under controlled conditions (25°C/60% RH and 30°C/65% RH). Accelerated stability studies at 40°C/75% RH run for six months, with real-time data generated for 24 months to support shelf-life claims.
