KAL magnesium labels
KAL files 18 on-market magnesium labels, and 2 of the 3 audited declare more of the named salt than a standard capsule can hold.

Mass budget · computed
What KAL'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 KAL uses
| Salt | Labels | Elemental fraction | Compound needed per 100 mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| glycinate | 6 | 11.83–14.1% | 709–845 mg |
| citrate | 3 | 11.3–16.16% | 619–885 mg |
| malate | 1 | 13.2–15.54% | 644–758 mg |
| orotate | 1 | 7.27% | 1,376 mg |
| taurate | 1 | 8.85% | 1,130 mg |

What KAL puts in the capsule besides magnesium
- 7 of 18 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.
- 2 labels use a gelatin shell.
- 11 labels use a cellulose-based shell.

What is not known · as of 2026-09-13
Gaps in the record for KAL
- 6 of 18 labels do not name the magnesium salt in the filed record, so no compound mass can be computed for them.
- 10 of 18 labels have no US retail listing matched as of 2026-09-13. That is a matching gap on our side, not evidence of unavailability.

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.
