Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA in chewable gummies from Now Foods are an option for those looking for a daily source of unsaturated fatty acids without having to swallow capsules or a liquid with a fishy smell.
Composition and dosage: what one chewable candy contains
Each serving - 1 chewable candy - contains omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish oil (a mixture of anchovy, mackerel, sardines, basa and tilapia). The main active ingredients are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which belong to the class of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids and are not synthesized by the body in sufficient quantities on its own.
Additional ingredients: purified water, xylitol, fish gelatin, erythritol, glycerin, trisodium citrate, natural flavors, gum arabic, citric acid, ascorbic acid, mixed tocopherols, paprika extract and stevia leaf extract. The product contains fish - allergens should pay attention to the composition.
How is the chewable form different from omega-3 capsules?
Classic fish oil capsules are convenient for most adults, but not for everyone. The chewable format eliminates the fishy aftertaste after taking, does not require water, and is suitable for children from 4 years of age who are not yet able or do not want to swallow large capsules.
The composition uses xylitol and erythritol instead of sugar - this means fewer simple carbohydrates per serving. Stevia extract is added for sweetening. The gelatin base is fish, not pork, which is important for some consumers with dietary restrictions.
How much omega-3 should you take per day in gummy form?
The manufacturer recommends 1 chewable candy per day during meals - for adults and children from 4 years old. Taking during meals helps to avoid stomach discomfort and improves the absorption of fat-soluble components. The bottle contains 36 candies - a supply for approximately 36 days with daily intake.
Who is this omega-3 format suitable for?
- Adults who have difficulty swallowing large capsules or who cannot tolerate the smell of fish oil
- Children from 4 years old - as a convenient alternative to liquid fish oil
- Those looking for a source of EPA and DHA in a convenient daily format
- People who already take a multivitamin and want to add omega-3 separately
The product is manufactured in accordance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, which confirms quality control at all stages of production. Now Foods is an American brand known in the nutraceutical segment since 1968.
Storage conditions and shelf life
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Gelatin-based chewables are sensitive to moisture and heat - if stored incorrectly, the candies may stick together or change consistency. Close the bottle tightly after each use.
