Litesse® Ultra™ helps gummy brands and contract manufacturers meet the increasing consumer demand for healthier sugar-free options, making a better-for-you product.
Because it can replace sugar on a 1:1 ratio, gummy brands and contract manufacturers need few adaptations in their formulation and production process. And as a base for sugar-free dietary supplement gummies, it still allows for the addition of other ingredients that can provide health benefits.
