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 1,000 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is higher than 95% of the 3,134 EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) products that print an amount; 140 list more.
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.
