- 93% of the 6,459 products that print an amount of vitamin E list more than its 5 IU of vitamin E (median 30 IU).
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.

What does the label say about taking it?
Quoted from the label as DSLD transcribed it: the maker's words, including any claim about what the product does, which the FDA has not evaluated and PlainVitamins does not endorse.
- Directions
- Directions For Use: Adults take 3 softgels daily. For greater bioavailability, combine with biotin, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
- Warnings
- Caution: EPA and DHA have been shown to inhibit abnormal clotting within blood vessels (thrombosis). Most ischemic heart attacks and strokes are caused by abnormal arterial blood clots, so consuming these fatty acids may help protect against these types of cardiovascular diseases.
- However, those taking anti-coagulant drugs like coumadin (warfarin) should inform their doctor that they are taking EPA or DHA supplements.
- Since EPA and DHA interfere with blood clotting, those who suffer from any type of hemorrhagic disease related to excessive bleeding or blood vessel leakage should consult their physician.
