What is in Baby's Vegetarian DHA Formula?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 3,000 mg. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Life's DHAas Docosahexaenoic AcidNatural Vegetarian | 3,000 mg | This amount is far outside what other labels list for DHA, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. | |
| Omega-3 Fatty Acids | 321 mg | 61% of 2,714 products listing omega-3 give more (median 500 mg). | |
| Docosahexaenoic Acidas Algae | 300 mg | ||
| Eicosapentaenoic Acid | 10.2 mg | 98% of 3,134 products listing EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) give more (median 300 mg). |

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:
- 98% of the 3,134 products that print an amount of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) list more than its 10.2 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 adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
