At powder density 0.6–0.8 g/mL, 842 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

NFH Magnesium Citrate SAP retains 1 magnesium-related rows in NIH DSLD 273296, including 1 rows selected for the primary serving, from label 2023-01-23, examined 2026-09-13.

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

NFH Magnesium Citrate SAP works out to 45 days per package at the label's own serving and filed frequency of 2 servings per day, according to label 2023-01-23, calculated 2026-09-13.

Discrete units in the package90
Serving size as filed1 Capsule(s)
Units per serving1
Servings per package90
Daily servings in the label instructions2
Days per package at the label's own serving45 days

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.

Capsule material: vegetarian. 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.
