Elemental: The magnesium itself; the rest of the compound weight is the partner molecule.
Compound: The whole salt, such as magnesium glycinate, that must physically fit in the capsule.
Size 000: The largest standard capsule, about 1,100 mg of powder at 0.8 g/mL, the top of the usual 0.6–0.8 range; size 00 holds about 730 mg and size 0 about 545 mg.

How much citrate powder is in one scoop?
Nutricost Magnesium Citrate 210 mg Unflavored carries 1,300–1,858 mg of magnesium citrate per serving for 210 mg of elemental magnesium, against 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule; capsule capacities do not apply to this powder.

| Verdict | Capsule sizes do not apply |
The filed salt can have more than one hydration state (trimagnesium dicitrate 16.2%; dibasic and hydrated forms as low as 11.3%), so the compound mass is a range.
