3 reasons why omega-3 gummies are becoming more popular

Where before we could only choose between fish oil capsules or liquid oil, there are now flavored omega-3 gummies. Not only children but also adults are making the switch from traditional supplements to gummies. But why really? In this blog, we share the 3 biggest reasons why omega-3 gummies are becoming so popular.

Reason 1: No more fish taste

This is probably the most important reason. Many people hold back on omega-3 capsules because they fear that nasty fish burp or fishy taste. While Arctic Blue's fish oil also already has no typical fishy taste and doesn't give a fish farmer thanks to the fresh, pure Arctic cod, gummies have an added benefit. In fact, gummies don't taste like fish at all. 

Arctic Blue's omega-3 gummies, for example, have a delicious strawberry/citrus flavor, and the vegan omega-3 gummies have a tropical flavor. Both are made 100% sugar-free with xylitol from the Finnish birch tree. This is a tooth-friendly sugar substitute that diabetics can also use. It almost looks like a candy, when of course it is just a serious supplement to be given by parents. 

Reason 2: Easier if you have trouble swallowing

Not everyone can swallow capsules equally well. For children ages 3 and up, the elderly, or people with swallowing difficulties, omega-3 gummies are a pleasant alternative. They are soft, you can chew them, and they pass more easily down the throat. 

Many adults also prefer omega-3 gummies to capsules. They are pleasant to use and very convenient for traveling. In fact, gummies are easy to take in the car, to the office, or on a walk. This makes omega-3 more accessible to a much broader group of people.

Reason 3: It feels like a treat 

Gummies can make taking supplements a lot more fun. Instead of having to swallow a "pill" every day, take a tasty gummy. And if you make it as easy on yourself as possible, you're more likely to stick with your routine and reap the benefits. 

This works especially well for children: giving omega-3 suddenly becomes very easy because they see it as a reward and may start asking for it themselves when they get their gummy.

Are omega-3 gummies really effective?

A legitimate question! For a long time, omega-3 gummies contained far too few active ingredients. Many brands mainly put sugar and excipients in the gummies, with minimal amounts of omega-3.

Arctic Blue has solved this problem. Thanks to special emulsion technology, the gummies contain a whopping 250 mg of DHA and 70 mg of EPA each - that's 5x more than other brands. 

In addition, they are made sugar-free with xylitol from the Finnish birch tree. They also contain vitamin D3, which contributes to the maintenance of normal bones*, normal muscle function* and the immune system*.

In conclusion

Omega-3 gummies are not just a trend: they make supplements more accessible AND more fun. By taking away the fishy taste and making taking them more enjoyable, they help more people take omega-3 consistently. 

Whether you choose omega-3 gummies, capsules or liquid oil, the important thing is to find a form that suits you and that you can stick with. Because only then will you maximize the benefits of omega-3 for your heart*, brain* and eyes*.
