Vitamins & minerals
Replenishment and maintenance, with attention to the bioavailability of the active ingredient in the gummy matrix.
CONTRACT DEVELOPMENT & MANUFACTURING FOR HEALTH & NUTRITION
The lab behind brands ready for market.
Sumo Labs Health & Nutrition is the technical partner that takes an active ingredient from concept to finished product — in-house formulation, bench testing, stability studies and regulatory support, all under one roof.
WHO IS SUMO LABS
Laboratory-grade structure applied to a product that looks simple.
A gummy looks simple until someone asks about the exact dose of the active ingredient, texture consistency across batches, or a shelf life backed by real data. This is exactly where Sumo Labs Health & Nutrition focuses its work: technically grounded formulation, bench testing and stability monitoring before any product gets a label.
This structure underpins GOMÁ, our own brand, and is also available as a service to companies that need to develop or reformulate a gummy product with technical and regulatory support.
CATEGORIES WE DEVELOP
Different formats, the same bench process behind them.
Functional
Combinations aimed at sleep, immunity or energy, bench-validated before production.
Probiotics
Strain stabilization in a humidity-controlled environment — one of the biggest technical challenges of this format.
Kids
Dose, texture and flavor adjusted for children, under the same quality control.
Performance & recovery
Actives aimed at training and recovery, with a stability study specific to continuous use.
Other formats, on request
Our technical focus is the gummy — that is where we have a fully validated end-to-end process. For powders, capsules or liquids, we assess feasibility case by case, adapting the same bench and testing structure.
LAB CAPABILITIES
R&D
BENCH
SHELF LIFE
REGULATORY
PRODUCTION
QC
From concept to released batch, with every step tracked in-house.
Tailored formulation
Formula development by active ingredient, dose and sensory profile — vitamin, functional or probiotic, on a gummy base.
Laboratory testing
Physicochemical and microbiological analysis at every stage, controlling texture, moisture and water activity.
Stability study
Accelerated and long-term protocols track how the active ingredient behaves over time.
ANVISA notification support
Preparation of technical and labeling documentation to support the food supplement notification process.
Private-label manufacturing
Scaling from pilot batch to continuous production, keeping the lab-validated formula intact.
Batch release
Every batch ships with a technical report and an archived retention sample.
HOW A PROJECT MOVES WITH US
Seven steps between the idea and the released batch.
01
Technical briefing
Gathering desired active ingredients, target audience, daily dose and the regulatory constraints of the project.
02
Bench formulation
Developing formula prototypes, adjusting flavor, texture and active-ingredient stability.
03
Laboratory testing
Physicochemical and microbiological analysis on every prototype before any final formula decision.
04
Stability study
Accelerated and long-term monitoring to support the suggested shelf life.
05
Regulatory preparation
Organizing technical and label documentation to support the ANVISA notification.
06
Pilot batch & scale-up
Pilot batch production, process validation and transition to continuous production.
07
Release & delivery
Batch release report and replenishment schedule aligned with the contracting brand.
TRACKING, NOT GUESSWORK
We track the stability of each formula over time.

illustrative representation
Every project Sumo Labs tracks gets its own stability protocol, with defined sampling points and a report signed by the technical lead.
It is this tracking — not a label estimate — that helps set the suggested shelf life for each product, whether for GOMÁ itself or for a partner brand.
OUR OWN BRAND
GOMÁ is where we put into practice the process we offer as a service.
Developed and manufactured by Sumo Labs, GOMÁ follows the same formulation, testing and stability-study flow described on this page — no step skipped for being our own brand.

BEFORE STARTING A PROJECT
Questions that usually come up first.
Do I need to already have a finished formula?
No. Many projects start from just the main active ingredient and the audience the brand wants to reach — the formulation is built from there.
How long does it take from briefing to pilot batch?
It varies with the number of actives and the complexity of the required stability study; the timeline is set right after the technical briefing.
Do you handle ANVISA registration?
We prepare the technical and labeling documentation that supports the notification; final regulatory responsibility always stays aligned with the contracting brand.
Can you reformulate a product that already exists?
Yes — reformulation and stability adjustment of existing products follow the same bench and testing process.
