Jungbunzlauer, a leader in high-quality, sustainable ingredients from natural sources, will showcase its latest advancements in gummy supplement solutions at IFT FIRST 2025 in Chicago, IL, highlighting optimized organic minerals developed to meet rising demand for effective, great-tasting alternatives to traditional supplements.

The global gummy supplement category is projected to more than double in size by 2030 to $52.2 billion and nearly two-thirds of U.S adults now favor gummies over tablets. Jungbunzlauer’s offer reflects the shifting preferences shaping this rapidly expanding category.

To support this shift in consumer preference, Jungbunzlauer is introducing a range of formulation solutions built around its portfolio of organic mineral salts. These include established ingredients such as zinc and calcium citrates, along with a newly developed, finer magnesium citrate granulation designed to deliver smoother texture, improved flavor, and enhanced bioavailability in gummy applications.

The company’s latest R&D demonstrates that by combining the appropriate fine-micronized granulation with precisely tuned processing parameters, formulators can achieve better sensory profiles and more effective nutrient delivery in both pectin and gelatin-based products.

“These solutions reflect what Jungbunzlauer stands for: quality, innovation, and trust,” said Markus Gerhart, senior director of the mineral and solutions portfolio. “In this application, it’s essential that gummies taste great, but not at the expense of performance. With our solutions, brands can deliver a superior consumer experience without compromise.”

Key features and benefits include:

• High bioavailability: organic citrate salts are well-absorbed
• Improved sensory experience: micronized forms for less sandiness and better texture
• High dosage possible: allows for nutritional and health claims
• Neutral taste and odor: even at high fortification levels
• Excellent dispersibility: smooth texture and uniform distribution
• Good processability: suitable for pectin and gelatine recipes
• These organic minerals are designed to support high bioavailable options, clean-label, sustainable formulation goals without compromise.

Jungbunzlauer’s technical team will be available at IFT FIRST 2025 Booth S723 to discuss how these ingredients can help manufacturers meet evolving consumer expectations.
