Kids' omega-3 gummies range from 25 mg to 500 mg of EPA + DHA per gummy, a 20-fold difference that the packaging never makes obvious. Sugar matters more for kids, too: the American Heart Association advises children keep added sugar under 25 g a day.
Quick answer
Top pick: Nordic Naturals Zero Sugar Children's DHA Gummy Chews with 500 mg EPA + DHA per 1-gummy serving and 0 g sugar, $0.29 per 250 mg. Runner-up: Nordic Naturals Nordic Omega-3 Gummy Fish (51.5 mg per gummy).

#1 · Top pick
Kids (and adults) who won't take softgels
EPA + DHA per serving: 500 mg · need 0.5 gummies for 250 mg
The best kids' fish oil gummy by a wide margin: about 8× the omega-3 of a typical kids' gummy serving, with zero sugar.
EPA + DHA per serving: 103 mg · need 4.9 gummies for 250 mg
A decent dose for a sugar gummy, but 7 g of added sugar is about a quarter of a child's daily limit.
EPA + DHA per serving: 51 mg · need 4.9 gummies for 250 mg
Fun format, small dose.
#4
Picky eaters who need a small top-up alongside eating fish
EPA + DHA per serving: 68 mg · need 7.4 gummies for 250 mg
A pleasant treat with a small dose. For a real dose, Nordic's own zero-sugar Ultimate Omega chews give 15× more.
#5
Parents who want a single kids' multi that includes some fish oil
EPA + DHA per serving: 100 mg · need 10 gummies for 250 mg
One of the better multi + omega combos for kids, but the dose depends on eating all four gummies.
EPA + DHA per serving: 30 mg · need 8.3 gummies for 250 mg
A multivitamin with a sprinkle of fish oil.
EPA + DHA per serving: 25 mg · need 10 gummies for 250 mg
Mostly a candy with a trace of omega-3. You'd need 20 gummies (40 g sugar) to match one zero-sugar DHA chew.
