Magnesium amino acid chelate: 19 labels, magnesium per serving as filed
19 labels name magnesium amino acid chelate. Magnesium per serving is printed as filed. No single elemental fraction is defined for this name.
Magnesium amino acid chelate names a class of compounds, so no defined elemental fraction, compound mass or capsule count can be computed from the filed name. 19 on-market labels name magnesium amino acid chelate; median filed amount 300 mg elemental magnesium per serving; 16 of them blend it with other forms. No US retail price is matched as of 2026-11-02.

How much elemental magnesium is actually in 100, 200 or 400 mg of amino acid chelate?
Magnesium amino acid chelate is a class of compounds without a defined molecular fraction. Compound mass for 100, 200 or 400 mg elemental magnesium is suppressed because the label does not identify one substance.
measuredAmino acid chelate names a class of compounds, so its elemental fraction and compound mass cannot be calculated from the filed name alone.

Estimated salt mass versus assumed capsule capacity
No capsule label names magnesium amino acid chelate alone as of 2026-08-10, so no capsule verdict is counted. The 19 labels naming this form remain in the full registry.
computed with assumptionNo capsule label naming amino acid chelate alone can be checked against capsule sizes in this snapshot.
| Mass budget verdict | Labels |
|---|---|
| Capsule labels naming this salt alone | None as of 2026-08-10 |
A size 00 capsule holds about 730 mg of powder at powder density 0.8 g/mL, the top of the usual 0.6–0.8 range; a size 000 about 1,100 mg.

I need 200 mg of actual magnesium. What changes in compound weight and capsules between amino acid chelate and other forms?
For 200 mg elemental magnesium, the compound weight of amino acid chelate cannot be calculated from the class name. Other defined salts are shown for arithmetic comparison, against oxide as a reference, using a size 00 powder capacity of 730 mg.
