A strong fishy taste is one of the main reasons many people hesitate to take omega supplements, despite their health benefits, and TopGum's OMG3! gummy collection shares a fish-free alternative fueled by plant-based omega-3 DHA sourced from marine algae.
Second to taste, it's important that gummies are filled with functional ingredients and not fillers. The high-dosage, dual-color prenatal gummy packs 50mg of plant-based omega-3 DHA, plus prenatal vitamins like vitamin D, folic acid, and B12, and 5mg of iron. Uniquely, these gummies feature proprietary, in-house TopCap technology that applies a form of microencapsulation specifically for liquids.
"Pregnant women are particularly sensitive to off tastes or smells which makes getting the flavor right all the more essential," said Eyal Shohat, CEO of TopGum. As such, orange essential oil is used to cut the marine overtones.
