Brand owners and category managers reviewing a private-label supplement project.

Choosing between gummies and capsules is a common early decision for a supplement brand owner. DAT Supply manufactures private-label gummies; DAT Supply does not manufacture capsules. This FAQ compares the two formats and points to DAT Supply’s own range where a gummy — or one of DAT Supply’s other five formats — might fit instead.

Section

The two options at a glance

Gummies are chewy, flavoured supplements on a pectin base, appealing to consumers who dislike swallowing pills. Capsules, typically HPMC or gelatin shells, offer a neutral taste and precise dosing. Gummies require careful formulation to hold texture and stability through cooking and drying; capsules are generally simpler to fill but have a lower per-unit fill-weight ceiling.

Section

How DAT Supply fits into this choice

DAT Supply manufactures private-label gummies, with Personalization on flavour, colour, shape and packaging within an existing formula. DAT Supply does not manufacture capsules — a capsule-specific brief needs a different manufacturer, or reconsideration as one of DAT Supply’s own six formats: gummies, powder sachets, functional jelly sticks, oral strips and pet soft chews.

FAQs

Does DAT Supply manufacture capsules? No — DAT Supply manufactures gummies, powder sachets, functional jelly sticks, oral strips and pet soft chews. Which format has a longer shelf life? Capsules generally last longer due to lower moisture content, though this varies by fill. Can I get gummy samples? Yes — samples can be ordered to evaluate taste, texture and appearance before a production order.
