Metabolic Maintenance Magnesium Glycinate: 125 mg of magnesium per capsule, 1 capsule a day, $7.08 a month
125 mg of magnesium per capsule; the label's 1 capsule a day cost $7.08 a month (Amazon, Nov 2). Inside: salt weight, capsule size, price rank.
Metabolic Maintenance Magnesium Glycinate declares 125 mg of elemental magnesium per serving as glycinate, which needs 887–1,057 mg of magnesium glycinate in each capsule, against 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule (size 000) at powder density 0.8 g/mL, the top of the usual 0.6–0.8 range: it fits only that size. Observed at $0.1889 per 100 mg, rank 9 of 17 ranked glycinate offers (1 = lowest price per 100 mg), percentile 53 (lower = lower price). NIH DSLD 274078, label dated 2022-09-22.

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.

Will 125 mg of glycinate actually fit in one capsule, or do I need more than one?
Estimated salt mass versus assumed capsule capacity: Metabolic Maintenance Magnesium Glycinate implies 887–1,057 mg of magnesium glycinate in each capsule to deliver 125 mg of elemental magnesium, against 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule (size 000) at powder density 0.8 g/mL, the top of the usual 0.6–0.8 range. Verdict: needs size 000, read at the most favourable hydration and the most units per serving.

|---|---|
| Elemental magnesium per serving | 125 mg |
| Units per serving | 1 |
| Magnesium glycinate per serving | 887–1,057 mg |

The filed salt can have more than one hydration state (bisglycinate; chelate hydration varies by supplier), so the compound mass is a range.

How much elemental magnesium is actually in this label's filed magnesium lines?
Metabolic Maintenance Magnesium Glycinate files 1 magnesium line in NIH DSLD 274078; the selected primary line declares 125 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 glycinate claim hold up, or could the magnesium come from another source?
The label names one magnesium form, glycinate, resolved from the full NIH DSLD record text; at that salt the declaration is within the assumed size 000 capacity at powder density 0.8 g/mL, compared with oxide, the salt richest in magnesium at 60.3%.
