Yes, and here is the problem.  This is the same stuff in Lipil formula, 
which causes nasty diarrhea in a lot of babies.  This is a great 
supplement.  I take it, and I give it to my kids, but we use the Real 
Thing: cod liver oil.  You can also get it purified out of the fish oil 
into caps of DHA/EPA.  The Martek version is from algae or fungus or 
something, NOT the real food source, so I guess we shouldn't be 
surprised that it causes trouble.

I am in the midwestern USA, and I can get a 12oz bottle of cod liver 
oil, 36 doses, for $5.
