  • 90% of the 1,990 products that print an amount of fish oil list more than its 0.4 g of marine lipid concentrate (filed by NIH under fish oil) (median 1.2 g).

The NIH database records 2 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
