I Bought Disney Omega-3 + vitamin D gummies at the grocery store (impulse buy, they had buy one get one free). They are pretty decent tasting but the bottle says take 4 gummies a day and 4 gummies only provides 125mg...she would need to take 32 a day to get 1000mg! And even if that could happen, she would then have 8 times the RDA of vitamin D(!)
Not to mention there are 2 grams of sugar in each - 8 grams in a serving of 4, so that would be 64 grams of sugar a day. By way of comparison is about as much sugar as in an entire pint of ice cream or a whole stack of cookies. Crazy!
We had good luck with this Nordic Naturals product for younger kids.
http://www.nordicnaturals.com/en/Products/Product_Details/98/?ProdID=1442 It comes in little pellet capsules which a kid can swallow or chew. For older kids we transitioned to this product.
http://www.nordicnaturals.com/en/Products/Product_Details/98/?ProdID=1598 Nordic Naturals has independent heavy metal testing which is important. We've found the products to be fresh and free of the dreaded fishy after taste burps you can get with some less expensive brands.
This may be equally useful whether your child is diagnosed with ADD, Asperger's or just gifted quirkiness. They worked wonders here!
