Ingredients & Science Behind Omega-3 Mango Burstlets™
What's inside and why
Every ingredient has a reason to be here.
Every dose is grounded in research. Every ingredient is lab-verified by an independent third party. Here's exactly what we put in — and why.
Most supplement brands tell you what's in their products. Fewer tell you how much. And almost none tell you why that amount was chosen, or show you the evidence to back it up.
We think you deserve all three. This page covers every active ingredient in Purest Kids Omega-3 Mango Burstlets, why it's included, what the science says, and how we verified it.
If you have questions after reading, our full certificate of analysis is linked at the bottom of this page.
What's inside
Ingredient Deep Dives
Natural mango flavour
Natural mango flavour
We use natural mango flavouring to create the taste. No artificial colours, no synthetic flavour compounds, no added sugar.
The flavour is what makes the product work in practice. A supplement a child refuses to take delivers zero benefit, regardless of how good the formula is. We treat taste as a functional requirement, not a bonus.
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid)
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid)
DHA is the primary omega-3 fatty acid associated with brain and eye development. During childhood, the brain is still actively developing, and DHA plays a direct role in supporting cognitive function, memory, learning ability, and visual health.
The question isn't whether DHA matters. It's whether the dose is meaningful.
Most kids' omega-3 gummies contain 30 to 50mg of DHA per serve. At that level, the benefit is marginal at best. We include 450mg per serve, which is clinically meaningful and substantially higher than what most children's products provide.
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid)
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid)
EPA works in tandem with DHA. While DHA is primarily structural, EPA plays a more active role in supporting heart health, reducing inflammation, and contributing to healthy blood circulation. We include 150mg per serve, in a TG (triglyceride) form for better absorption.
Vitamin E (as d-alpha-tocopherol)
Vitamin E (as d-alpha-tocopherol)
Vitamin E is a naturally occurring antioxidant included to support the stability and bioavailability of the omega-3 fatty acids. It helps protect the oil from oxidation, ensuring potency from the first burstlet to the last.
Algae Oil (Schizochytrium sp.)
Algae Oil (Schizochytrium sp.)
Most omega-3 supplements for children use fish oil. We use plant-based algae oil. Here's why that matters.
Fish don't produce omega-3 themselves. They accumulate it by eating microalgae. By going directly to that source, we get a purer, more concentrated omega-3 that carries none of the contamination risk associated with ocean-sourced products.
Algae oil is free from mercury and other heavy metal contaminants common in fish oil, more environmentally sustainable as it doesn't deplete ocean fish stocks, and naturally mild in flavour, which is why our burstlets taste like mango and nothing else.
