Quick answer
Mostly a candy with a trace of omega-3. You'd need 20 gummies (40 g sugar) to match one zero-sugar DHA chew.
Best for: Not recommended as a meaningful omega-3 source.
One serving (1 gummy) provides 25 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).
The label gives only a combined EPA + DHA figure, not each one separately.

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.
Occasional use for kids who refuse zero-sugar chews
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.
Toddlers and young kids who need a tiny top-up
EPA + DHA per serving: 51 mg · need 4.9 gummies for 250 mg
Fun format, small dose.
