How gummy vitamins are made: a simple explainer

Published 2026-10-23 by the Punchies team at vitamin-gummies.com

Gummies are made by cooking a gel base, adding ingredients and depositing the mix into molds. Here is a plain overview.

The base

Pectin or gelatin, sweetener and water are cooked into a gel. Punchies use fruit pectin, organic raw cane sugar and organic tapioca syrup.

Vitamins and proteins are added once the mix cools slightly. Punchies add whey isolate, collagen peptides, vitamin C and vitamin D.

Flavor and color are added, the gummies set in molds and a light wax prevents sticking. The Punchies label lists organic palm wax. See Punchies.
