| Step | Value | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Declared elemental magnesium | 250 mg per serving | observed · label 2018-08-31 |
| Resolved salt | Magnesium oxide · label-row | computed · name resolved from filed text |
| Reference formula | MgO; 40.3 g/mol | computed · chemical reference |
| Elemental fraction | 60.32% by mass | computed |
| Compound mass per serving | 414.46 mg = 250 mg ÷ elemental fraction | computed |
| Compound mass per discrete unit | 414.46 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.

Magnesium lines as filed
Nature Made Magnesium 250 mg retains 1 magnesium-related rows in NIH DSLD 179534, including 1 rows selected for the primary serving, from label 2018-08-31, examined 2026-09-13.
| Filed amount | Serving order | Filed salt / notes | Calculation role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 mg | 1 | oxide Magnesium (Form: as Magnesium Oxide) | 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
Nature Made Magnesium 250 mg has no filed serving count for package arithmetic in NIH DSLD 179534, according to label 2018-08-31, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Net contents as filed | 200 Tablet(s) |
|---|---|
| Discrete units in the package | 200 |
| 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
Nature Made Magnesium 250 mg files 1 magnesium percent-daily-value entries in NIH DSLD 179534; the check below applies the group-specific references in 21 CFR 101.9 to its 250 mg primary serving, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Group as filed | Declared | Reference | Recomputed | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adults and children 4 or more years of age | 63% | 420 mg | 60% | 3 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.
