Adaptogen Research Magnesium Malate

Adaptogen Research Magnesium Malate declares 360 mg of elemental magnesium per serving as malate, which would require 1,158–1,364 mg of the salt in each unit — more than the 1,100 mg a size 000 capsule holds; NIH DSLD 247102, label dated 2021-05-22, calculation 2026-09-13.

What the declared salt would weigh

Adaptogen Research Magnesium Malate declares 360 mg of elemental magnesium per serving in NIH DSLD 247102, requiring 2,316.6–2,727.27 mg of magnesium malate under the salt model calculated 2026-09-13.

At powder density 0.6–0.8 g/mL, 1,158 mg of powder exceeds every standard capsule size — the largest, 000, holds about 1,100 mg.

If the declared salt were the sole source of magnesium here, each capsule would need 1,158 mg of powder, which no standard capsule holds. So the label does not establish malate as the only source. A blend with a denser salt or a non-standard capsule could reconcile it. This is a statement about the label's arithmetic, not about what is in the bottle.

The verdict uses the most favourable reading for the product — the smallest compound mass the label allows. It excludes the shell and other ingredients; their unreported masses are not added as guesses.

Size 0 holds about 545 mg, size 00 about 730 mg, and size 000 about 1,100 mg at powder density 0.6–0.8 g/mL. These are model inputs, not measurements of this product's capsule. Read the mass-budget method.

Magnesium lines as filed

Adaptogen Research Magnesium Malate retains 1 magnesium-related rows in NIH DSLD 247102, including 1 rows selected for the primary serving, from label 2021-05-22, examined 2026-09-13.

Magnesium (Form: as Di-Magnesium Malate)

Selected primary serving

The elemental amount comes from the selected magnesium line. A salt named under another nutrient does not make that nutrient's quantity an elemental magnesium value. Distinct unresolved primary amounts remain ambiguous; they are not added together.

Cost per 100 mg within malate

Adaptogen Research Magnesium Malate's $0.0805 per 100 mg of elemental magnesium is at percentile 22 among 9 malate labels with observed prices, using confirmed gold-set matches observed 2026-08-10 to 2026-09-11, calculated 2026-09-13.

Percentile = 100 × the number of prices at or below this EC100 ÷ the number of observed prices in this salt, rounded to an integer. Ties receive the same percentile. The comparison includes this label; a high percentile means higher observed cost. Price is the dated item observation, excluding tax, shipping, coupons and subscriptions.

What the package works out to

Adaptogen Research Magnesium Malate works out to 120 days per package at the label's own serving and filed frequency of 1 servings per day, according to label 2021-05-22, calculated 2026-09-13.

Days = filed servings per container ÷ filed servings per day. If the label gives a frequency range, the largest frequency gives the shortest duration. Cost per serving = observed item price ÷ filed servings; cost per label-day multiplies this by the filed frequency. This follows the label's own instructions; it is package arithmetic, not intake advice.

Percent daily value · observed and computed

The label's percent daily value, recomputed

Adaptogen Research Magnesium Malate files 1 magnesium percent-daily-value entries in NIH DSLD 247102; the check below applies the group-specific references in 21 CFR 101.9 to its 360 mg primary serving, calculated 2026-09-13.

Declared values and current-reference arithmetic
Group as filedDeclaredReferenceRecomputedDifference
Adults and children 4 or more years of age90%420 mg86%4 percentage points

Percent daily value = declared elemental mg ÷ the group's reference mg × 100, rounded to an integer. The adult and age-four-plus reference is 420 mg. Historical labels can use earlier references; a difference does not establish a filing error. Full-record entries may cover multiple serving sizes, so this table identifies the primary-serving basis explicitly. Group references and interpretation.
