Strava Healthcare makes vitamin C and zinc chewable tablets for nutraceutical brands, paediatric health companies, and private label buyers.Chewable tablets solve a real problem: children and elderly users often won’t or can’t swallow standard tablets. Chewables sidestep that, and with the right flavour profile, people actually take them consistently which matters more than most formulation decisions.
The clinical case for both ingredients is reasonably solid. Vitamin C above 200 mg/day shortens cold duration in physically active people. Zinc has similar data, particularly when taken within the first 24 hours of symptom onset. Combined, they make a defensible immune formula without overpromising.
Vitamin C and Zinc chewable are widely consumed in United Arab Emirates, DRC Condo, Ghana, Angola, Mozambique, Somalia, Kenya, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Myanmar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sodium ascorbate sits at a higher pH, so it’s less corrosive to enamel over repeated use. For a daily-use product, especially one aimed at children that difference adds up. Ascorbic acid is cheaper and more common, but if someone’s chewing one of these every morning for years, the enamel consideration is worth building into the design from the start.
Yes. We formulate with sorbitol, xylitol, or sucralose-based systems. Xylitol is worth considering specifically for chewables it has some data behind it for protecting against dental caries, which is a useful secondary claim for a product people chew daily. Specify your preference when you enquire.
