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:
- Its 1,117 mg of docosahexaenoic acid ethyl ester (filed by NIH under DHA) (2 rows of the label added together) is higher than 99% of the 3,627 DHA products that print an amount; 51 list more.
The NIH database records 3 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.
