Magnesium lines as filed

Natural Factors BigFriends Magnesium Citrate Chewable 50 mg retains 1 magnesium-related rows in NIH DSLD 247525, including 1 rows selected for the primary serving, from label 2021-04-22, examined 2026-09-13.

Filed amountServing orderFiled salt / notesCalculation role
50 mg1Salt not identified in this row as of 2026-09-13Selected 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.

What the package works out to

Natural Factors BigFriends Magnesium Citrate Chewable 50 mg has no filed serving count for package arithmetic in NIH DSLD 247525, according to label 2021-04-22, 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.

Percent daily value · observed and computed

The label's percent daily value, recomputed

Natural Factors BigFriends Magnesium Citrate Chewable 50 mg files 2 magnesium percent-daily-value entries in NIH DSLD 247525; the check below applies the group-specific references in 21 CFR 101.9 to its 50 mg primary serving, calculated 2026-09-13.

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.
