How the score worksQuick answer
The best kids' fish oil gummy by a wide margin: about 8× the omega-3 of a typical kids' gummy serving, with zero sugar.
Best for: Kids (and adults) who won't take softgels.
One serving (1 gummy) provides 500 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 29:71 (DHA-dominant). Does the ratio matter?

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.
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.
