Is that a lot?

The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:

  • 92% of the 3,134 products that print an amount of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) list more than its 40 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) (median 300 mg).

The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for pregnant and lactating. The directions as printed are further down this page.
