What are Functional Gummies?

Functional Gummies are chewable dietary supplements that deliver health benefits in an easy-to-consume, enjoyable format. Unlike traditional pills or capsules, these gummies combine functionality with great taste, making them particularly appealing to children, elderly populations, and health-conscious consumers who dislike swallowing pills. They are typically formulated with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, omega-3s, collagen, melatonin, or other nutraceuticals to address specific health needs.

Common types include:

• Multivitamin gummies (general health support)
• Probiotic gummies (gut health)
• Sleep aid gummies (melatonin-based)
• Hair, skin, and nails gummies (collagen & biotin)
• Immune support gummies (vitamin C, zinc, elderberry)
• CBD or hemp-infused gummies (stress & sleep)

The global market is distributed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and other regions, with North America currently holding the largest market share due to high consumer awareness and disposable income.
