What Carlson's declared salts weigh
A Supplement Facts panel declares the element; the salt carrying it is heavier. Dividing each label's declared magnesium by its salt's elemental fraction gives the powder mass the serving must contain — and whether that fits a capsule.

Which magnesium salts Carlson uses
| Salt | Labels | Elemental fraction | Compound needed per 100 mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| oxide | 2 | 60.32% | 166 mg |
| glycinate | 1 | 11.83–14.1% | 709–845 mg |
Composition across the portfolio · as filed
What Carlson puts in the capsule besides magnesium
- 3 of 7 labels list magnesium stearate. Stearate is 4.1% magnesium by mass and that magnesium is not on the Supplement Facts line; the amount of stearate is not declared, so it cannot be quantified.
- 3 labels use a gelatin shell.
- 1 label uses a cellulose-based shell.

Gaps in the record for Carlson
- 4 of 7 labels do not name the magnesium salt in the filed record, so no compound mass can be computed for them.
- 6 of 7 labels have no US retail listing matched as of 2026-09-13. That is a matching gap on our side, not evidence of unavailability.

- Class I: Exposure to or use of the violating product carries a reasonable probability of serious harm to health or death.
- Class II: Exposure or use may produce temporary or medically reversible harm; the probability of serious harm is remote.
- Class III: Adverse health consequences from exposure or use are unlikely.
The FDA adverse event reporting system (CAERS) holds 13 reports naming Carlson as of 2026-09-13. This is a count of submitted reports across all the firm's products; it is not an incidence rate and implies no causation.
The metric
What EC100 measures
EC100 = container price ÷ (elemental mg per serving × servings per container ÷ 100)
It normalizes the declared elemental amount to a 100 mg unit. It does not score ingredients, quality, or outcomes.
