Only one plant source provides the same omega-3s as fish oil: algae. Flax, chia and 'omega 3-6-7-9' gummies contain ALA, which the body converts to EPA and DHA very poorly. Below are real algal DHA gummies first, then the ALA-only products to avoid if you want what fish oil gives you.
Quick answer
Top pick: Doctor's Best Omega + DHA Gummies (Seriously Citrus) with 50 mg EPA + DHA per 3-gummy serving and 4 g sugar. Runner-up: NATURELO Omega + DHA Gummies (Vegetarian) (16.5 mg per gummy).

#1 · Top pick
Vegetarians who want a gummy with named algal DHA
EPA + DHA per serving: 50 mg · need 15 gummies for 250 mg
The better of the vegetarian gummies we track, and still a small dose.
EPA + DHA per serving: 33 mg · need 15.2 gummies for 250 mg
Real algae DHA, but a small amount. Vegans get far more from an algae-oil softgel or liquid.
EPA + DHA per serving: 0 mg · need ∞ gummies for 250 mg
Often listed as a 'fish oil alternative', but it isn't one: no EPA, no DHA. If you're vegan, look for algae oil.
EPA + DHA per serving: 0 mg · need ∞ gummies for 250 mg
A chia-oil candy. It doesn't provide the omega-3s (EPA/DHA) that fish oil does.
