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 avoid omega-3 capsules because they are afraid of that unpleasant fishy taste. Although Arctic Blue fish oil does not have a typical fishy taste and does not give you that fishy feeling thanks to the fresh, pure Arctic cod, gummies have an additional advantage. Gummies do not taste like fish at all. 

Arctic Blue omega-3 gummies, for example, Arctic Blue a delicious strawberry/citrus flavor, and the vegan omega-3 gummies have a tropical flavor. Both are 100% sugar-free, made with xylitol from Finnish birch trees. This is a tooth-friendly sugar substitute that is also suitable for diabetics. It almost looks like candy, but of course it is simply a serious supplement that should 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 solved this problem. Thanks to special emulsion technology, the gummies contain no less than 250 mg of DHA and 70 mg of EPA per piece— that's five times 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*.
*Approved EFSA health claims. EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function (at 250 mg per day). DHA is good for the brain and helps normal vision (at 250 mg DHA per day).
