| Declared elemental magnesium | 125 mg per serving | observed · label 2013-08-23 |
| Resolved salt | Magnesium citrate · label-row | computed · name resolved from filed text |
| Reference formula | Mg₃(C₆H₅O₇)₂; 451.11 g/mol | computed · chemical reference |
| Elemental fraction | 11.3–16.16% by mass | computed |
| Why the fraction is a range | trimagnesium dicitrate 16.2%; dibasic and hydrated forms as low as 11.3% | modelled · hydrate not specified |
| Compound mass per serving | 773.51–1,106.19 mg = 125 mg ÷ elemental fraction | computed |
| Compound mass per discrete unit | 773.51–1,106.19 mg | computed |
At powder density 0.6–0.8 g/mL, 774 mg of powder requires the largest standard size, 000 (holds about 1,100 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
Metabolic Maintenance Potassium/Magnesium Citrate retains 1 magnesium-related rows in NIH DSLD 25096, including 1 rows selected for the primary serving, from label 2013-08-23, examined 2026-09-13.
| Filed amount | Serving order | Filed salt / notes | Calculation role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 125 mg | 1 | citrate Magnesium (Form: as Magnesium Citrate) | 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.
Package arithmetic · observed inputs, computed totals
What the package works out to
Metabolic Maintenance Potassium/Magnesium Citrate has no filed serving count for package arithmetic in NIH DSLD 25096, according to label 2013-08-23, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Net contents as filed | 250 Capsule(s) |
|---|---|
| Discrete units in the package | 250 |
| Serving size as filed | 1–4 Capsule(s) |
| Units per serving | 1–4 |
| Servings per package | Servings not filed as of 2026-09-13 |
| Daily servings in the label instructions | 1 |
| Days per package at the label's own serving | Days not computable from filed frequency and serving count as of 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.
Percent daily value · observed and computed
The label's percent daily value, recomputed
Metabolic Maintenance Potassium/Magnesium Citrate files 1 magnesium percent-daily-value entries in NIH DSLD 25096; the check below applies the group-specific references in 21 CFR 101.9 to its 125 mg primary serving, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Group as filed | Declared | Reference | Recomputed | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adults and children 4 or more years of age | 31% | 420 mg | 30% | 1 percentage points |
Percent daily value = declared elemental mg ÷ the group's reference mg × 100, rounded to an integer. The adult and age-four-plus reference is 420 mg. Historical labels can use earlier references; a difference does not establish a filing error. Full-record entries may cover multiple serving sizes, so this table identifies the primary-serving basis explicitly. Group references and interpretation.
