Quick answer
The better of the vegetarian gummies we track, and still a small dose.
Best for: Vegetarians who want a gummy with named algal DHA.
One serving (3 gummies) provides 50 mg EPA + DHA. Markers show 250 mg (baseline adult intake), 500 mg (common general-health target) and 1,000 mg (AHA amount for people with heart disease).
EPA:DHA split is 0:100 (DHA-dominant). Does the ratio matter?

Same dose and format as the NOW chew, plus individual wrapping and IFOS-tested oil. You pay extra for the packaging and the testing.

The value pick. One chew gets you past the 250–500 mg daily target most health bodies cite, for about 30 cents.
