Magnesium lines as filed

NOW Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder retains 1 magnesium-related rows in NIH DSLD 313573, including 1 rows selected for the primary serving, from label 2024-10-24, examined 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.

What the package works out to

NOW Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder works out to 45.5–91 days per package at the label's own serving and filed frequency of 1–2 servings per day, according to label 2024-10-24, calculated 2026-09-13.

Arithmetic using the label's own serving, not intake advice
Net contents as filed8 Ounce(s); 227 Gram(s)
Serving size as filed2.5 Gram(s) (1 level teaspoon)
Servings per package91
Daily servings in the label instructions1–2
Days per package at the label's own serving45.5–91 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.

Benchmark · 20 observed prices in glycinate

A same-salt reference for this package

At the median cost per 100 mg observed across 20 glycinate labels ($0.1264), a package of this size (22,750 mg elemental in NOW Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder) would correspond to $28.74, using observations from 2026-08-10 to 2026-09-11, calculated 2026-09-13. This is a benchmark, not a retailer quote.

The median is the middle sorted observation, or the average of the two middle observations for an even group. Each label contributes one observation. This value is neither an offer nor an estimate of a specific retailer's current price.

Percent daily value · observed and computed

The label's percent daily value, recomputed

NOW Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder files 1 magnesium percent-daily-value entries in NIH DSLD 313573; the check below applies the group-specific references in 21 CFR 101.9 to its 250 mg primary serving, calculated 2026-09-13.

Declared values and current-reference arithmetic
Group as filedDeclaredReferenceRecomputedDifference
Adults and children 4 or more years of age60%420 mg60%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.
