While these are fun for kids, the amount of omega-3s you get is very low compared to the price and the calories. They provide a tiny amount of fats that can help with basic skin barrier maintenance.
They contain 4g of carbs and 20 calories per serving, so they should be treated as a supplement, not a snack. This is a choice for parents who have no other way to get omega-3s into their child's diet.

The label clearly quantifies total carbohydrates and total omega-3 content, along with a full disclosure of non-active ingredients. Transparency is good, but the lack of individual fatty acid amounts is a minor drawback.
Positive ratings suggest that children enjoy the taste and format of the supplement. However, the relatively small review count indicates less widespread use compared to the brand's primary oil lines.
The cost per serving is very high given the minimal amount of active omega-3s provided. Consumers are paying heavily for the novel format rather than nutritional density.
