Format is a strategic choice, not a production detail
The right format is determined by your shopper, your channel and your category claim — not by what is easiest to produce.
Where gummies win
- Lower consumer friction; higher repurchase on everyday actives
- Strong shelf presence and gifting fit
- Natural fit with beauty-from-within and wellness brands
Where capsules still win
- Very high-dose actives
- Category expectations in clinical or performance channels
- Shoppers prioritising unit cost above experience
