Founding Story

Business Manager - Executive Director.
Decent Work and Economic Growth.
Nuno Adriano Santos is also the DoctorGummy Founder & CEO, whose research process began 5 years ago.
Resist and cry are the forms of many children reject certain medicines, which is normal, because its unpleasant taste, making it an inconvenience for parents in treatment success. Much of pediatric medicines contains an excessive amount of sugar, some with rates above 80%, contributing to the generation of cavities in over 50% of children and for the childhood obesity and diabetes.
The DoctorGummy solution is to produce gums, lollipops and chocolates 100% healthy, no sugar, no gluten, no lactose, no artificial colorings... and add to them the active ingredient of the medicines using them as excipient; facilitating their administration and nullifying the contribution to the generation of cavities, obesity or diabetes in children, in elderly or in anyone.
The orientation of the European Commission to create regulations to reduce the sugar in medicines becomes a great influence on the lookout for alternative solutions to the difficulty of medicines administration.
Two national patents and one international patent were registered (186 countries), in one of the largest industries in the world.
Once we arrived at the formulation of goodies 100% healthy, we were driven by the partners to also advance to the context of food distribution, selling the same healthy goodies but without the medicines treats, creating awareness for the concept to the market, a great marketing campaign. We already established distribution agreements in 131 countries, with companies like Walmart, Carrefour, Tesco, Walgreens, Amazon, BestBuy, Kroger, Pão de Açúcar, Aldi, Costco Wholesale, Ikea, Aeon.
