Cardiovascular Research Magnesium Taurate
Cardiovascular Research Magnesium Taurate declares 125 mg of elemental magnesium per serving as taurate, which would require 1,412 mg of the salt in each unit — more than the 1,100 mg a size 000 capsule holds; NIH DSLD 22722, label dated 2013-06-25, calculation 2026-09-13.

What the declared salt would weigh
Cardiovascular Research Magnesium Taurate declares 125 mg of elemental magnesium per serving in NIH DSLD 22722, requiring 1,412.43 mg of magnesium taurate under the salt model calculated 2026-09-13.
| Step | Value | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Declared elemental magnesium | 125 mg per serving | observed · label 2013-06-25 |
| Resolved salt | Magnesium taurate · full-record | computed · name resolved from filed text |
| Reference formula | Mg(C₂H₆NO₃S)₂; 274.58 g/mol | computed · chemical reference |
| Elemental fraction | 8.85% by mass | computed |
| Compound mass per serving | 1,412.43 mg = 125 mg ÷ elemental fraction | computed |
| Compound mass per discrete unit | 1,412.43 mg | computed |
At powder density 0.6–0.8 g/mL, 1,412 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 1,412 mg of powder, which no standard capsule holds. So the label does not establish taurate 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
Cardiovascular Research Magnesium Taurate retains 1 magnesium-related rows in NIH DSLD 22722, including 1 rows selected for the primary serving, from label 2013-06-25, examined 2026-09-13.
| Filed amount | Serving order | Filed salt / notes | Calculation role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 125 mg | 1 | Salt not identified in this row as of 2026-09-13 | 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 taurate
Cardiovascular Research Magnesium Taurate's $0.3368 per 100 mg of elemental magnesium is at percentile 100 among 6 taurate labels with observed prices, using confirmed gold-set matches observed 2026-09-11 to 2026-09-11, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Observed item price · Amazon | $25.26 on 2026-09-11 |
|---|---|
| Cost per 100 mg elemental | $0.3368 |
| Observed prices in taurate | 6 confirmed matches |
| Percentile | 100 |
| Match confidence | confirmed |
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.
Package arithmetic · observed inputs, computed totals
What the package works out to
Cardiovascular Research Magnesium Taurate works out to 60 days per package at the label's own serving and filed frequency of 1 servings per day, according to label 2013-06-25, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Net contents as filed | 60 Capsule(s) |
|---|---|
| Discrete units in the package | 60 |
| Serving size as filed | 1–2 Capsule(s) |
| Units per serving | 1–2 |
| Servings per package | 60 |
| Daily servings in the label instructions | 1 |
| Days per package at the label's own serving | 60 days |
| Price per serving | $0.4210 · computed from price observed 2026-09-11 |
| Price per day at the label's own serving | $0.421 · computed from price observed 2026-09-11 |
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
Cardiovascular Research Magnesium Taurate files 1 magnesium percent-daily-value entries in NIH DSLD 22722; the check below applies the group-specific references in 21 CFR 101.9 to its 125 mg primary serving, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Group as filed | Declared | Reference | Recomputed | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adults and children 4 or more years of age | 30% | 420 mg | 30% | 0 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.
