FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ANAHEIM, CA — MeriCal, a U.S.-based product innovation leader and manufacturer of probiotics and dietary supplements, will debut six product sample concepts at SupplySide Global, October 28–30, 2026, at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
Visitors to booth #6316 can experience a portfolio spanning gummies, chewable tablets and stick pack powders. The samples highlight MeriCal’s work in complex formulations, biotics and advanced delivery systems, giving brands and retailers a starting point for new product development and portfolio expansion.
The sampling portfolio includes:
- Low Sugar Creatine Monohydrate Gummy (Apple Flavor): A low-sugar gummy concept that brings creatine into an approachable format, with attention to the formulation and taste challenges of incorporating the ingredient.
- Sugar Free Ashwagandha Gummy (Mixed Berry Flavor): A sugar-free gummy concept pairing ashwagandha with a mixed berry flavor profile.
- Traditionally Sweetened Pre-Pro-Post Biotic High Potency 10B CFU Gummy (Peach Flavor): A high-potency gummy concept combining prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics.
- Oral Health Probiotic Chewable Tablet (Mint Flavor): A mint-flavored probiotic chewable concept developed for the oral health category.
- High Fiber & Probiotic Stick Pack (Unflavored): A powder concept combining fiber and probiotics, with an unflavored profile that allows for versatile use and mixing.
- Pro-Post Biotic Fast Melt Powder (Flavored with Orange Fruit Powder): A direct-to-mouth powder concept combining probiotics and postbiotics in a convenient, tasty stick pack format.
The portfolio brings several product development considerations into focus: incorporating challenging actives, developing a full range of gummies from traditionally sweetened, to low-sugar and sugar-free gummies, combining biotic components, and creating formats that fit different consumer preferences.
“Sampling gives customers a firsthand look at what a formulation can become,” said David Kneisl, Chief Commercial Officer at MeriCal. “This portfolio allows potential customers/brands to experience the taste, texture and delivery format, then have a practical conversation with our team about how to develop their next product. It brings our biotics and formulation expertise into something they can physically experience.”
MeriCal’s approach connects R&D and formulation with manufacturing and packaging capabilities to support the path from concept to commercialization. At SupplySide Global, the team will be available to discuss custom development, product-line extensions and manufacturing opportunities across biotics, vitamins, minerals and supplements.
Attendees are invited to visit MeriCal at booth #6316 to explore the portfolio and connect with the team. To schedule a meeting, visit https://www.merical.com/contact/
