Verdict
80 mg a dayas the label directs · studies use 1000–6000 mg/day of EPA + DHA
Below research doseTaken as the label directs (1 serving a day, 80 mg each), it gives 80 mg a day; studies use 1000–6000 mg/day. EPA + DHA builds up in the body through daily use over weeks; a lower daily amount still builds up, just more slowly.
One gummy gives 40 mg, so reaching the low end of what studies use (1 g) takes 25 gummies a day; it ranks 17th of 21 omega-3 supplements here by dose.
To reach the research dose. It would take 25 gummies a day (1 g) to reach the 1 g studies use, more than the label's directions, which allow 2 gummies a day (1 serving a day).
Wondering about your omega-3 index? What it takes to raise it, and why EPA and DHA count.
About creatine gummies. Creatine can break down into creatinine with water, heat and acid, which are all part of making a gummy, so published tests of gummies have found anything from none to more than the label says. One result is one sample; results can differ between batches. See every published gummy test.
