BIOVEA Magnesium Malate 1250 mg: 142 mg of magnesium per tablet, 1–3 tablets a day
142 mg of magnesium per tablet; the label's 1–3 tablets a day give 142–425 mg. No US price matched (Nov 2). Inside: salt weight, %DV check.
BIOVEA Magnesium Malate 1250 mg declares 425 mg of elemental magnesium per serving as malate, which means 2,735–3,365 mg of magnesium malate pressed into 1–3 tablets, compared with 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule; capsule verdicts do not apply to a tablet. No US retail price matched as of 2026-11-02; 2 of the 20 malate labels in this registry have a matched price. NIH DSLD 45644, label dated 2015-05-22.

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 malate is pressed into one tablet?
BIOVEA Magnesium Malate 1250 mg carries 2,735–3,365 mg of magnesium malate per serving for 425 mg of elemental magnesium, against 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule; capsule capacities do not apply to this tablet or pill.

|---|---|
| Elemental magnesium per serving | 425 mg |
| Units per serving | 1–3 |
| Magnesium malate per serving | 2,735–3,365 mg |
| Magnesium malate per tablet | 912–1,122 mg |

| Verdict | Capsule sizes do not apply |
The filed salt can have more than one hydration state (anhydrous 15.54% or dihydrate 12.63% (192.41 g/mol)), so the compound mass is a range.

Does the label's own text add up on magnesium?
The label's own text says “1250mg tablet of Magnesium Malate provides 11.3% pure elemental magnesium”: 141 mg of magnesium from 1,250 mg of magnesium malate is 11.3% magnesium, against the 12.6–15.5% that magnesium malate can carry, so the label's numbers agree with its salt.

How much elemental magnesium is actually in this label's filed magnesium lines?
BIOVEA Magnesium Malate 1250 mg files 1 magnesium line in NIH DSLD 45644; the selected primary line declares 425 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 malate claim hold up, or could the magnesium come from another source?
The label names one magnesium form, malate, resolved from the filed magnesium line; capsule capacities do not apply to this form, compared with oxide, the salt richest in magnesium at 60.3%.

What does "106% Daily Value" mean here, and does it recompute?
The label declares 106% Daily Value; 425 mg against the 420 mg reference in 21 CFR 101.9 recomputes to 101%, a difference of 5 points. Labels filed under the earlier 400 mg reference, or with a different filing basis, show gaps of this kind.
