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:

- 88% of the 3,134 products that print an amount of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) list more than its 50 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.
