OmegaVia
DHA and EPA are two primary types of omega-3 fatty acids that support children's brain and eye development. Children don't get enough in their diet, so taking fish oil for kids is an excellent way to ensure they get vital nutrients. Our kids' omega-3 gummies contain 300 mg DHA, 60 mg EPA, and 40 mg of other omega-3s, ensuring your child has the support they need. The triple-purified supplement is 100% sugar-free but still delivers a fruity taste kids enjoy.
Why Choose OmegaVia Omega-3 Gummies For Kids
Different omega-3s perform different roles in your child's development. DHA is the primary omega-3 in the brain and is critical during the early stages of childhood, ensuring the brain and eyes develop and work correctly1. Meanwhile, EPA helps manage inflammation2 and supports mental focus3.
Although these omega-3s do a lot, your kids get very little from their diet. OmegaVia Kid's Omega-3 Chewies contain a total of 400 mg omega-3s—specifically, 300 mg DHA, 60 mg EPA, and 40 mg of other omega-3s. Unlike other omega-3s for kids, our formula is sugar-free and has a fruity flavor rather than a fishy taste. The chewies are IFOS tested for purity, providing parents with additional peace of mind. We are also transparent about the use of bovine gelatin in this product.

Kids’ Omega-3 FAQ
What is the recommended omega-3 dosage for children?
Omega-3s are key nutrients across a person’s life, but the amount you need does depend on how old you are, among other factors. Children, for example, typically do not need as much omega-3 as grown adults. Generally, omega-3 supplements are safe for children aged 3 and up. Some health organizations recommend that kids have 250 mg to 500 mg of combined DHA and EPA daily.
Older children typically need to consume more omega-3s to support proper nutrition and growth. Each Chewie contains 400 mg of total omega-3s, with 300 mg DHA, 60 mg EPA, and 40 mg other omega-3s.
For children aged 7 to 12 years old, 600 mg of DHA omega-3 daily may be enough to meet their nutritional needs. Try two kids’ omega-3 gummies daily for children in this age range.
Are these omega-3 chewies safe for toddlers?
Yes, OmegaVia Kids’ Omega-3 Chewies are safe for toddlers aged 3 and older. As children get older, they may simply need more DHA and EPA omega-3 to support optimal health and wellness. That’s why the recommended dose for kids ages 3 to 6 (one chewie, 300 mg of DHA, 60 mg EPA, and 40 mg of other omega-3) is half the recommended dose for kids ages 7 to 12 (two chewies, 600 mg of DHA omega-3, plus 120 mg EPA and 80 mg of other omega-3s). Make sure your child chews the kids’ fish oil Chewie completely before swallowing to reduce choking risk.
For kids younger than 3 years old, an omega-3 supplement may still be appropriate. Ask your family doctor for guidance, including what the dose should be, before giving the Chewies or any other omega-3 supplements to a child under 3.
Do these taste like fish?
OmegaVia Kids’ Omega-3 Chewies are made with fish oil. If you’ve taken fish oil supplements before, you may have noticed an unpleasant fishy aftertaste. That’s not a flavor most people, including children, enjoy. Luckily, OmegaVia specifically designed the Kids’ Omega-3 Chewies to have a tasty, natural fruit flavor.
It’s tricky to convince kids to eat things that don’t taste good to them, like a fishy omega-3 supplement. You shouldn’t have that problem with these Kids’ Omega-3 Chewies. There’s no fishy taste and no sugar, just natural strawberry and citrus flavor.
Why are these sugar-free when most kids' omega-3 gummies contain sugar?
Many omega-3 supplements for kids contain sugar because the manufacturers want to be sure children will want to eat them and get the nutrients they need. OmegaVia’s Kids Omega-3 Chewies don’t contain sugar, but you don’t have to worry about that affecting the flavor. The Chewies have a natural strawberry and citrus flavor that kids love.
Sugar isn’t necessary to create tasty supplements for kids, and there’s already too much sugar in many people’s diets, so there was no reason not to make OmegaVia’s Kids Omega-3 Chewies sugar-free. You can give your kids these Chewies without worrying about adding to their daily sugar intake.
What gelatin is used in these chewies?
OmegaVia’s Kids Omega-3 Chewies use fish gelatin to create an appealing jelly-like texture that’s easy to eat. Each Chewie is individually sealed to preserve freshness and make it easier to keep track of how many supplements you have left.
Reviewers note that the gelatin texture of the Chewies is great because it’s not too sticky. If your child has braces, or you’re worried about their teeth, you can still feel confident giving them these Chewies. The gummies shouldn’t get stuck in their teeth or be hard to chew. Watch your child to make sure they chew completely before swallowing, though, since unchewed gummies can be a choking hazard.
Can adults take Kids' Omega-3 Chewies?
There’s nothing unique about omega-3 for kids that makes it unsuitable for adults. If you’re looking to increase your omega-3 consumption with a supplement, it’s completely fine to take OmegaVia’s Kids Omega-3 Chewies. You may prefer the natural fruit flavor and gummy texture compared to traditional omega-3 supplements for adults. These supplements are also large, which can be difficult for some people to comfortably swallow. Gummy supplements eliminate that problem.
Just keep in mind that a single OmegaVia Kids' Omega-3 Chewie probably does not contain enough omega-3 to meet the nutritional needs of an adult. You may need to take multiple Chewies to get the appropriate dose of omega-3s.
