What the declared salt would weigh
Natural Factors BigFriends Magnesium Citrate Chewable 50 mg declares 50 mg of elemental magnesium per serving in NIH DSLD 247525, requiring 309.41–442.48 mg of magnesium citrate under the salt model calculated 2026-09-13.
| Step | Value | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Declared elemental magnesium | 50 mg per serving | observed · label 2021-04-22 |
| Resolved salt | Magnesium citrate · full-record | 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 | 309.41–442.48 mg = 50 mg ÷ elemental fraction | computed |
| Compound mass per discrete unit | 309.41–442.48 mg | computed |
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.

Source transcription · observed
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 amount | Serving order | Filed salt / notes | Calculation role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 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.
Package arithmetic · observed inputs, computed totals
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.
| Net contents as filed | 60 Chewable Tablet(s) |
|---|---|
| Discrete units in the package | 60 |
| Serving size as filed | 1 Tablet(s) |
| Units per serving | 1 |
| 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
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.
| Group as filed | Declared | Reference | Recomputed | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Children less than 4 years of age | 63% | Age group not resolved as of 2026-09-13 | Group reference not resolved as of 2026-09-13 | Comparison unavailable as of 2026-09-13 |
| Adults and children 4 or more years of age | 12% | 420 mg | 12% | 0 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.
