   The label of the advertised product recommends taking 3 pills

   Recommendation for dosage (taking 3 pills every day) is still not addressing whether the actual fiber content suffices to meet recommendations. Without knowing how much fiber is in each pill, this information doesn't show the claim is misleading.

   The recommended daily intake of fiber is 20 to 30 grams, and the pill

   Why this is right

   If the pill contains only one-third of a gram of fiber, this means three pills are necessary to get just one gram of fiber. Since the recommended daily intake is 20 to 30 grams, even taking multiple pills daily barely meets the recommendation. This contrasts misleadingly with the attention given to the "44 percent fiber" claim. By showing that the actual fiber per pill is far from enough to meet the daily recommendation, we see how the advertisement misleads by drawing focus solely to the percentage rather than the total grams provided by the dosage. The pill is "high in fiber" from a percentage standpoint (44%, wow!) but low in fiber from an absolute standpoint (you'd need 60-90 pills a day to hit your fiber goals).
