Mass: 709–845 mg per tablet · Price: none matched · % DV: 24% vs 24%
Elemental: The magnesium itself; the rest of the compound weight is the partner molecule.
Compound: The whole salt, such as magnesium glycinate, that must physically fit in the capsule.
Size 000: The largest standard capsule, about 1,100 mg of powder at 0.8 g/mL, the top of the usual 0.6–0.8 range; size 00 holds about 730 mg and size 0 about 545 mg.

How much elemental magnesium is actually in this label's filed magnesium lines?
Akasha Naturals Magnesium Glycinate files 1 magnesium line in NIH DSLD 313115; the selected primary line declares 100 mg of elemental magnesium per serving, against 0 other rows excluded from the primary amount. A salt named under another nutrient does not turn that nutrient's quantity into elemental magnesium.

Does this label's glycinate claim hold up, or could the magnesium come from another source?
The label names one magnesium form, glycinate, resolved from the full NIH DSLD record text; capsule capacities do not apply to this form, compared with oxide, the salt richest in magnesium at 60.3%.

| Formula re: Contains | Magnesium Glycinate features a magnesium amino acid chelate (bis-glycinate) designed to enhance absorption and intestinal tolerance. Unlike other formulations, the magnesium in Magnesium Glycinate is designed to: Be absorbed via a mechanism similar to that used by amino acids and unlike typical mineral ion absorption. Not be dependent on stomach acidity for absorption. Improve bowel tolerance of magnesium. Magnesium is an essential mineral that acts as a cofactor in many metabolic processes. Magnesium also supports muscle relaxation and nervous system health. |
