How much magnesium is in magnesium glycerophosphate? 12.5% by weight, so 100 mg of magnesium takes 800 mg of glycerophosphate
12.5% of magnesium glycerophosphate is magnesium: 100 mg takes 800 mg of salt, 1.1 size 00 capsules. No ranked US price (Nov 2).
Magnesium glycerophosphate is 12.5% elemental magnesium, so 100 mg of magnesium needs 800 mg of compound, about 1.1 size 00 capsules at 0.8 g/mL powder density. No capsule label names magnesium glycerophosphate alone as of 2026-08-10, so no capsule verdict is counted. No US retail price is matched as of 2026-11-02.

How much elemental magnesium is actually in 100, 200 or 400 mg of glycerophosphate?
Magnesium glycerophosphate is 12.5% elemental magnesium by mass (MgC₃H₇O₆P, molar mass 194.36). Magnesium glycerophosphate has a molar mass of 194.36 against magnesium's 24.305, so 12.5% of its mass is magnesium. Every 100 mg of elemental magnesium from it needs 800 mg of the compound, calculated 2026-10-17.
computedThis defined salt has one calculated elemental fraction from its formula.

I need 200 mg of actual magnesium. What changes in compound weight and capsules between glycerophosphate and other forms?
For 200 mg of elemental magnesium, glycerophosphate needs 1,600 mg of compound, against oxide at 332 mg. Size 00 holds about 730 mg at powder density 0.8 g/mL, the top of the usual 0.6–0.8 range. Each row uses the stated elemental fraction; hydration ambiguity stays a range, and any price comparison remains within a single salt.
