Freeda Magnesium Citrate Powder: 420 mg of magnesium per 3 gram, 150 servings
420 mg of magnesium in each 3 gram, about 150 servings per 16 Ounce. Citrate is 11.3–16.2% magnesium. Inside: salt per scoop, %DV check.
Freeda Magnesium Citrate Powder declares 420 mg of elemental magnesium per serving as citrate, which means 2,599–3,717 mg of magnesium citrate powder in one serving, compared with 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule; that is the weight of the salt alone, before any fillers or flavours in the scoop.

Mass: 2,599–3,717 mg per serving · Price: none matched · % DV: 100% vs 100%
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 citrate powder is in one scoop?
Freeda Magnesium Citrate Powder carries 2,599–3,717 mg of magnesium citrate per serving for 420 mg of elemental magnesium, against 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule; capsule capacities do not apply to this powder.

The filed salt can have more than one hydration state (trimagnesium dicitrate 16.2%; dibasic and hydrated forms as low as 11.3%), so the compound mass is a range.

How much elemental magnesium is actually in this label's filed magnesium lines?
Freeda Magnesium Citrate Powder files 1 magnesium line in NIH DSLD 257527; the selected primary line declares 420 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 citrate claim hold up, or could the magnesium come from another source?
The label names one magnesium form, citrate, 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%.
