VIVA 5

What VIVA 5 does

VIVA 5 (legal entity: Viva 5 Corp) is a US-based, privately held contract manufacturer specializing in custom nutritional supplements, headquartered in Parkland, Florida with a secondary office in St. Petersburg, Florida. The company operates on a B2B platform-plus-modules model, offering end-to-end services spanning formulation R&D, flavoring, manufacturing, packaging, and logistics for brand owners, product companies, and white-label customers. Its revenue model is project-based contract manufacturing with quote-driven pricing and low minimum order quantities, prioritizing accessibility for small and emerging supplement brands over large enterprise anchor contracts.

The company's core technology portfolio is built around three differentiated delivery formats: V5 Gummies (custom and stock probiotic gummies with specialization in Bacillus strains, offered in five base formulations including three vegan options), Actinia Beadlets (a proprietary spherical controlled-release system manufactured via Lipid-Based or Fluid Bed methods with multiple release profiles), and FZZR Effervescents (effervescent and fast-melt formats in granule, melt, and mint variants). The FZZR technology is licensed from TSI Group Co., LTD, making the licensing partnership a core element of the company's IP strategy. Beyond these three flagship platforms, VIVA 5 also offers contract manufacturing across capsules, powders, tablets, liquids, and sprays, supported by in-house R&D, quality, and customer service teams that provide regulatory compliance and full documentation.

Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with no published pricing, no app, no API, and no public-channel marketing beyond the company website (viva5corp.com) and LinkedIn presence. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional backing, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range. Founded (per firmographic data) in 2006, with documented gummy manufacturing expertise dating to 2013, the company positions itself as an 'innovation partner' targeting brand owners who lack in-house formulation, regulatory, and manufacturing capabilities.
