KAPPA NUTRITION Magnesium 5 in 1 Magnesium Advanced Complex
KAPPA NUTRITION Magnesium 5 in 1 Magnesium Advanced Complex declares 1474 mg of elemental magnesium per serving as malate, which would require 4,743–5,583 mg of the salt in each unit — more than the 1,100 mg a size 000 capsule holds; NIH DSLD 286862, label dated 2023-06-22, calculation 2026-09-13.

What the declared salt would weigh
KAPPA NUTRITION Magnesium 5 in 1 Magnesium Advanced Complex declares 1474 mg of elemental magnesium per serving in NIH DSLD 286862, requiring 9,485.2–11,166.67 mg of magnesium malate under the salt model calculated 2026-09-13.
| Step | Value | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Declared elemental magnesium | 1474 mg per serving | observed · label 2023-06-22 |
| Resolved salt | Magnesium malate · full-record | computed · name resolved from filed text |
| Reference formula | MgC₄H₄O₅; 156.38 g/mol | computed · chemical reference |
| Elemental fraction | 13.2–15.54% by mass | computed |
| Why the fraction is a range | anhydrous or dihydrate | modelled · hydrate not specified |
| Compound mass per serving | 9,485.2–11,166.67 mg = 1474 mg ÷ elemental fraction | computed |
| Compound mass per discrete unit | 4,742.6–5,583.33 mg | computed |
At powder density 0.6–0.8 g/mL, 4,743 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 4,743 mg of powder, which no standard capsule holds. So the label does not establish malate 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
KAPPA NUTRITION Magnesium 5 in 1 Magnesium Advanced Complex retains 1 magnesium-related rows in NIH DSLD 286862, including 1 rows selected for the primary serving, from label 2023-06-22, examined 2026-09-13.
| Filed amount | Serving order | Filed salt / notes | Calculation role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1474 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. This filed amount exceeds 1,000 mg per serving and is excluded from the existing form-level amount medians.

What the package works out to
KAPPA NUTRITION Magnesium 5 in 1 Magnesium Advanced Complex works out to 60 days per package at the label's own serving and filed frequency of 1 servings per day, according to label 2023-06-22, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Net contents as filed | 120 Capsule(s) |
|---|---|
| Discrete units in the package | 120 |
| Serving size as filed | 2 Capsule(s) |
| Units per serving | 2 |
| Servings per package | 60 |
| Daily servings in the label instructions | 1 |
| Days per package at the label's own serving | 60 days |
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.
Benchmark · 9 observed prices in malate
A same-salt reference for this package
At the median cost per 100 mg observed across 9 malate labels ($0.1142), a package of this size (88,440 mg elemental in KAPPA NUTRITION Magnesium 5 in 1 Magnesium Advanced Complex) would correspond to $101.00, using observations from 2026-08-10 to 2026-09-11, calculated 2026-09-13. This is a benchmark, not a retailer quote.
| Salt and number of observations | Magnesium malate · n = 9 |
|---|---|
| Median observed cost per 100 mg | $0.1142 |
| Filed elemental magnesium per package | 88,440 mg |
| Benchmark package equivalent | $101.00 = median EC100 × package elemental mg ÷ 100 |
| Evidence tier | benchmark · calculated 2026-09-13 |
The median is the middle sorted observation, or the average of the two middle observations for an even group. Each label contributes one observation. This value is neither an offer nor an estimate of a specific retailer's current price.
