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:

- 93% of the 3,627 products that print an amount of DHA list more than its 40 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (filed by NIH under DHA) (median 232 mg).
