What the declared salt would weigh
Nature's Way Alpha Betic Cinnamon with Magnesium & Biotin declares 200 mg of elemental magnesium per serving in NIH DSLD 213757, requiring 331.56 mg of magnesium oxide under the salt model calculated 2026-09-13.
| Step | Value | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Declared elemental magnesium | 200 mg per serving | observed · label 2020-02-26 |
| 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 | 331.56 mg = 200 mg ÷ elemental fraction | computed |
| Compound mass per discrete unit | 110.52 mg | computed |
At powder density 0.6–0.8 g/mL, 111 mg of powder fits a size 0 capsule (holds about 545 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
Nature's Way Alpha Betic Cinnamon with Magnesium & Biotin retains 1 magnesium-related rows in NIH DSLD 213757, including 1 rows selected for the primary serving, from label 2020-02-26, examined 2026-09-13.
| Filed amount | Serving order | Filed salt / notes | Calculation role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 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.

Cost per 100 mg within oxide
Nature's Way Alpha Betic Cinnamon with Magnesium & Biotin's $1.1405 per 100 mg of elemental magnesium is at percentile 100 among 14 oxide labels with observed prices, using confirmed gold-set matches observed 2026-08-10 to 2026-09-11, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Observed item price · Amazon | $68.43 on 2026-09-07 |
|---|---|
| Cost per 100 mg elemental | $1.1405 |
| Observed prices in oxide | 14 confirmed matches |
| Percentile | 100 |
| Match confidence | legacy-provisional |
Percentile = 100 × the number of prices at or below this EC100 ÷ the number of observed prices in this salt, rounded to an integer. Ties receive the same percentile. The comparison includes this label; a high percentile means higher observed cost. Price is the dated item observation, excluding tax, shipping, coupons and subscriptions.
Package arithmetic · observed inputs, computed totals
What the package works out to
Nature's Way Alpha Betic Cinnamon with Magnesium & Biotin works out to 30 days per package at the label's own serving and filed frequency of 1 servings per day, according to label 2020-02-26, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Net contents as filed | 90 Capsule(s) |
|---|---|
| Discrete units in the package | 90 |
| Serving size as filed | 3 Capsule(s) |
| Units per serving | 3 |
| Servings per package | 30 |
| Daily servings in the label instructions | 1 |
| Days per package at the label's own serving | 30 days |
| Price per serving | $2.2810 · computed from price observed 2026-09-07 |
| Price per day at the label's own serving | $2.281 · computed from price observed 2026-09-07 |
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's Way Alpha Betic Cinnamon with Magnesium & Biotin files 1 magnesium percent-daily-value entries in NIH DSLD 213757; the check below applies the group-specific references in 21 CFR 101.9 to its 200 mg primary serving, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Group as filed | Declared | Reference | Recomputed | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adults and children 4 or more years of age | 48% | 420 mg | 48% | 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.

Other ingredients in the filed record
Nature's Way Alpha Betic Cinnamon with Magnesium & Biotin lists 4 other ingredients in NIH DSLD 213757, label dated 2020-02-26, examined 2026-09-13.
| Entry | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cellulose |
| 2 | Gelatin |
| 3 | Magnesium Stearate |
| 4 | Silica |
Capsule material: gelatin. The material classification follows the filed ingredient names; it is not a test of the shell.
This label lists magnesium stearate, whose reference elemental fraction is 4.1% by mass. No stearate quantity is available in this record as of 2026-09-13, so its magnesium contribution cannot be quantified or added to the Supplement Facts magnesium total.
