What is in each gummy
Every gummy contains 200 mg of anchovy fish oil, providing 130 mg of total omega-3s: 100 mg of DHA and 20 mg of EPA. It also carries 8.33 mcg (333 IU) of vitamin D3. Two gummies, the serving shown on the front of the jar, give 260 mg of omega-3, 200 mg of it DHA.
The gummy is sweetened with isomalt and stevia and thickened with pectin and agar, so it is gelatin-free. Natural orange flavour and beta-carotene give it its taste and colour, and rosemary extract is added to keep the oil fresh.
How it compares
AquaOmega also sells a High EPA version of its kids gummies. This High DHA jar is the one to pick for DHA, with five times as much DHA as EPA in every gummy. Liquid fish oils give more omega-3 per serving, while a gummy suits a child who will not take oil from a spoon.
How to take it
Children 6 and older take 1 to 3 gummies a day, and teens and adults can take the same. At 2 a day the jar lasts a month. Keep the jar in the fridge once it is open. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
Who it suits
It suits school-age children who need a chewable, sugar-free omega-3 with vitamin D, and families who want one jar for a child and a teen. It contains fish, so it is not for anyone with a fish allergy.
