Alta Health Products Magnesium Chloride: the label lists 520 mg, salt or magnesium?
The label lists 520 mg; if that is chloride weight, it holds 62–133 mg of magnesium. No US price matched (Nov 2). Inside: salt weight, %DV check.
Alta Health Products Magnesium Chloride declares magnesium without one determinable amount per 1–3 tablet(s); Capacity audit excluded as of 2026-10-17: the filed amount may describe compound mass rather than elemental magnesium; the elemental amount is unresolved., as of 2026-11-02. No US retail price matched as of 2026-11-02; 0 of the 10 chloride labels in this registry have a matched price. NIH DSLD 299274, label dated 2023-11-22.

Mass: not computable · Price: none matched · % DV: 15.54% vs n/a%
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 chloride is pressed into one tablet?
The compound mass behind this label cannot be computed as of 2026-11-02: Capacity audit excluded as of 2026-10-17: the filed amount may describe compound mass rather than elemental magnesium; the elemental amount is unresolved.. The filed amounts are listed in the next block.
computed with assumption| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Elemental magnesium per serving | Not one amount as of 2026-11-02 |
| Units per serving | 1–3 |
| Magnesium chloride per serving | Not computable as of 2026-11-02 |
| Magnesium chloride per tablet | Not computable as of 2026-11-02 |
| Capsule capacity 0 · 00 · 000 | 545 · 730 · 1,100 mg |
| Verdict | Not computable as of 2026-11-02 |
The filed salt can have more than one hydration state (anhydrous 25.5%, hexahydrate 12.0%), so the compound mass is a range.

Does the label's own text add up on magnesium?
The label's ingredient rows list 520 mg of magnesium chloride and 62 mg of magnesium: 62 mg of magnesium from 520 mg of magnesium chloride is 12.0% magnesium, against the 12.0–25.5% that magnesium chloride can carry, so the label's numbers agree with its salt.

How much elemental magnesium is actually in this label's filed magnesium lines?
Alta Health Products Magnesium Chloride files 4 magnesium lines in NIH DSLD 299274; 4 primary lines give no single elemental amount, 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.
computed with assumption| Filed amount | Salt or note as filed | Role |
|---|---|---|
| 520 mg | Salt not named in this row; magnesium chloride is taken from the label text | Primary serving |
| 1,560 mg | Salt not named in this row; magnesium chloride is taken from the label text | Primary serving |
| 62 mg | Salt not named in this row; magnesium chloride is taken from the label text | Primary serving |
| 187 mg | Salt not named in this row; magnesium chloride is taken from the label text | Primary serving |
If 1,560 mg were the compound mass rather than the element, the elemental amount would be about 398 mg (25.5% of it), computed with a stated assumption.

Does this label's chloride claim hold up, or could the magnesium come from another source?
The label names one magnesium form, chloride, 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%.
