Kid's Chewable DHA Fruit Flavor provides DHA and EPA in a fruit-flavoured chewable. Its cost is high relative to the amounts of these omega-3 fats.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality20

The specific DHA and EPA forms are not identified. Their absorption characteristics therefore cannot be compared confidently.

Ingredient Transparency70

Separate DHA and EPA amounts are disclosed, making the active-fat content clear. Their specific forms are not identified, limiting comparisons of absorption.

Value For Money26

The cost is high relative to the DHA and EPA amounts. The small EPA contribution is particularly expensive for what it provides.

Customer Satisfaction94

Customer satisfaction is high across a very large review base. The ratings do not establish health benefits or suitability for a particular child.

Product Focus32

The active fats relate to blood-fat metabolism, but the research used much higher daily amounts. The 200 mg DHA and 48 mg EPA serving does not establish the same effect.
