At powder density 0.6–0.8 g/mL, 387 mg of powder fits a size 0 capsule (holds about 545 mg).

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

Kirkland Signature Magnesium Citrate 250 mg retains 1 magnesium-related rows in NIH DSLD 207448, including 1 rows selected for the primary serving, from label 2019-10-23, examined 2026-09-13.

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.

What the package works out to

Kirkland Signature Magnesium Citrate 250 mg has no filed serving count for package arithmetic in NIH DSLD 207448, according to label 2019-10-23, calculated 2026-09-13.

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.
