Brandywine Pharmaceuticals Magnesium L-Lactate Dihydrate: 84 mg of magnesium per serving, 1–2 servings a day
84 mg of magnesium per serving. Lactate is 10.2–12.0% magnesium; no US price matched (Nov 2). Inside: label lines, ingredients.
Brandywine Pharmaceuticals Magnesium L-Lactate Dihydrate declares 84 mg of elemental magnesium per serving as lactate, which means 699–824 mg of magnesium lactate compound in one 1–2 caplet(s), compared with 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule; capsule verdicts do not apply to this other (e.g. tea bag). No US retail price matched as of 2026-11-02; 0 of the 3 lactate labels in this registry have a matched price. NIH DSLD 263308, label dated 2021-12-18.

Mass: 350–412 mg per serving · Price: none matched · % DV: 20% vs 20%
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 lactate compound is in one serving?
Brandywine Pharmaceuticals Magnesium L-Lactate Dihydrate carries 699–824 mg of magnesium lactate per serving for 84 mg of elemental magnesium, against 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule; capsule capacities do not apply to this other (e.g. tea bag).
computed with assumption| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Elemental magnesium per serving | 84 mg |
| Units per serving | 1–2 |
| Magnesium lactate per serving | 699–824 mg |
| Magnesium lactate per serving | 350–412 mg |
| Capsule capacity 0 · 00 · 000 | 545 · 730 · 1,100 mg |
| Verdict | Capsule sizes do not apply |
The filed salt can have more than one hydration state (anhydrous 12.01% or dihydrate 10.19% (238.48 g/mol)), so the compound mass is a range.

How much elemental magnesium is actually in this label's filed magnesium lines?
Brandywine Pharmaceuticals Magnesium L-Lactate Dihydrate files 1 magnesium line in NIH DSLD 263308; the selected primary line declares 84 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 lactate claim hold up, or could the magnesium come from another source?
The label names one magnesium form, lactate, 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%.
