found some veggie Omega-3 gummies for kids

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, this has been a saga! The L'il Critters used to be veggie, and every once

and a while you can find an old bottle, but the new formulation (as of less than

a year ago) has gelatin in it. They never responded to my email asking them

about it.

 

CVS has two Omega-3 gummy choices under their own label. The one that is

obviously just off-labeled L'il Critters (same fish shapes) still shows online

as not having any gelatin in it, but by reading the label in the store I can

tell that it's made from the new formulation too.

 

However, the lemon flavored ones (simple gumdrop shape) are vegetarian. They

actually say " Vegetarian approved " on the website, and I've been able to find a

bottle in the local store that is definitely veggie. Since my children used to

fight over the lemon flavor in preference to the two other options in the L'il

Critters, this is a winning choice for us.

 

Even better news: on the link below the bottle lists at $9.99, but when you put

it in your shopping cart, you'll see that it's reduced to $5.99! If you order

$49 or more from CVS, the shipping is free (in the US):

We found them when we visited Florida last year - they were by the

adult supplements/vitamins rather than with the children's

vites/supplements. I've not seen them at ours, but we're no longer

close to a CVS here since the move.

 

Oh, and in a side note, does anyone know if the Yummy Bears (The ones

that state they are the vegetarian ones) know if the lactic acid comes

from cow's milk? It does NOT say vegetable source on it like I've seen

elsewhere on other vegetarian products, but just curious if anyone

knew off hand. This just reminded me about it.
