What the evidence supports: raising DHA levels in people who eat no fish.
This scores how well-supported the claim above is — not how much benefit you personally would get. A high score on a narrow claim does not extend to everything the product is marketed for.

Ongoing for anyone eating no fish. The gap does not close on its own.
Who it's actually for
Vegans, vegetarians, and anyone who dislikes or avoids fish.
Safe upper limit
