Your dose IMO of your Omega-3 is too low for therapeutic and dietary supplementation of Omega-3's.
Fish oil is not a vitamin. It is a macronutrient and considered a food. It comes from fatty fish, that are eaten as food.
The only small dose Omega supplement is Krill oil. This is because there are phospolipids in it that emulsify the Omega-3s, and enhance the absorption of them.
If you search fish oils on the net you will find they average 300mg of EPA and DHA each. The concentrated ones have more, because of the concentration.

As macronutrients, fats are not assigned Dietary Reference Intakes. Macronutrients have acceptable intake (AI) levels and acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges (AMDRs) instead of RDAs. The AI for omega−3 is 1.6 grams/day for men and 1.1 grams/day for women, while the AMDR is 0.6% to 1.2% of total energy.[71]

This means the combined doses of both EPA and DHA (which are a fraction of the total weight of the capsules.

A macronutrient is not a vitamin. And it is used in large amounts throughout the body to build cell walls and tissue.
Vitamins on the other hand are micronutrients and are present in tiny amounts to facilitate enzymes only, and do not build tissue. Hence they are consumed in milligram or smaller doses.
Your product was very expensive at $19.99 for 50 chews providing a 10th of what you could use per day.
If you get tingling, itching or redness from ALA, that could be an allergic reaction. It might be that you will not be able to take it, if and allergy is present.
You can take ALA anytime, just not with food ... 1 hr before food, or 4 hours after. If you take with food you may reduce its absorption according to studies by up to 30%.
