25 February 2026 · 7 min read

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is one of the most-requested actives in gummy supplements. But formulating it well takes more than dropping a number into a spec sheet.

This piece covers three things every brand should understand before signing a brief: - source selection (China vs DSM Quali-C) - overage strategy and shelf-life - which EU claims you can use, and how to phrase them on pack

Vitamin C has three EU-authorised claims relevant to gummy SKUs (immune, collagen, fatigue). The wording must follow article 10 of regulation 1924/2006 — DAT Supply provides reviewed claim wording in your formulation pack.
