TopGum Launches Women’s Gummy Line Featuring Shatavari and Targeted Botanicals

TopGum Industries is expanding its product line with the launch of a women’s health–focused gummy collection, unveiled ahead of Vitafoods Europe 2026, where the line will be available for sampling. The new portfolio reflects growing demand for targeted, evidence-based nutraceutical solutions tailored to women’s needs across life stages, from adolescence through menopause and beyond, an April news release from the company explains.¹

New Shatavari Gummy

At the center of the launch is a high-dose shatavari gummy formulated with SRI-80 shatavari root extract and 5mcg of vitamin D. Delivering 150 mg of shatavari root extract per gummy (300 mg per two-gummy serving), the product leverages clinically studied dosages associated with supporting hormonal balance, menopause symptom relief, and postpartum recovery, including lactation support. Shatavari, a botanical long used in Ayurvedic practice and often referred to as the “Queen of Herbs,” is positioned as an adaptogen with relevance for modern women’s health formulations. The inclusion of vitamin D further aligns the product with additional nutritional priorities, particularly immune support and bone health—key considerations during menopause.

According to the company, its matrix addresses multiple aspects of formulation and consumer needs. “Our new women’s health line designed by women for women, enables nutraceutical brands to launch no added sugar gummy supplements without compromising flavor or texture,” affirms Eyal Shohat, CEO of TopGum. “Our pectin-based gummies are plant-based alternatives to gelatin, offering improved stability and clean-label positioning. By delivering high-strength doses of such venerated botanicals in a flavorful fruity gummy, we provide a nutraceutical that is as effective as it is indulgent.”

Additional Health Focuses

Beyond menopause support, the collection includes condition-specific formulations targeting common concerns such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), nausea, urinary tract health, and prenatal nutrition. The PMS-focused gummy combines chaste tree berry extract (Vitex agnus-castus) with magnesium and vitamin B6—ingredients with established clinical backing for alleviating symptoms such as cramping, irritability, and mood fluctuations. Magnesium’s role as a muscle relaxant, paired with vitamin B6’s involvement in neurological signals, underscores the formula’s multi-mechanistic approach.

Another notable formulation addresses nausea through a blend of standardized ginger extract (25 mg) and vitamin B6. This combination targets both digestive and neurological pathways, making it relevant for applications ranging from morning sickness to motion-related discomfort. Flavor development also plays a strategic role, with formulations designed to align with consumer cravings, such as sweet-sour profiles for PMS, while complementing active ingredient profiles.

“Each formulation in this collection has been meticulously curated to support women through every defining stage of their lifecycle, and is guided by thought and a science-driven approach to wellness,” adds Toomey.

Shifts in Attention to Women’s Health Support

The broader launch aligns with strong market momentum in women’s health. The category is now estimated at approximately $60 billion globally, the news release states. Retail data cited by the company indicates a 22% year-over-year increase in women’s health supplement sales, reflecting a shift toward proactive health management. “This shift reflects a more proactive mindset among women—particularly Millennials—who are demanding evidence-based support as they navigate their life stages,” explains Shohat. “In response, brands are beginning to address the unmet needs of women with targeted innovations addressing PMS, fertility, menopause, gut health, and more. TopGum is a trusted partner, helping brands fulfill these aspirations in the form of delicious gummies.”

TopGum’s approach also emphasizes functional excipients and sugar reduction strategies. Its proprietary Gummiceutical fiber-based sweetening system enables reduced reliance on traditional sugars, while maintaining stability and mouthfeel. At the same time, the company notes that certain formulations may still incorporate simple carbohydrates where appropriate for digestive tolerance.

Earlier this year, TopGum had also expanded its line through the introduction of a new collection of fiber-sweetened, no-added-sugar gummies formulated to support hair, skin, and nails.²
