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 elemental magnesium is actually in this label's filed magnesium lines?
Healthy Origins Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate files 1 magnesium line in NIH DSLD 269392; the selected primary line declares 200 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.

| Formulation re: Other | Healthy Origins Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate is produced using chelation technology from Albion Laboratories, the world leader in amino acid chelate nutrition. The scientists at Albion have found a way to substantially increase the bioavailability of elemental magnesium by bonding it with the amino acid glycine. Amino acids are easily identified and assimilated by the body. Glycine is the ligand that supports the transport of magnesium into the intestinal cell, maximizing the bioavailability of the magnesium. Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate has been the subject of clinical trials of cardiovascular health, women's health, respiratory health, neurological health and digestive health. |
