OL Olympian Labs Magnesium Citrate 400 mg: 133 mg of magnesium per capsule, 3 capsules a day
133 mg of magnesium per capsule; the label's 3 capsules a day give 400 mg. No US price matched (Nov 2). Inside: salt weight, capsule size.
OL Olympian Labs Magnesium Citrate 400 mg declares 400 mg of elemental magnesium per serving as citrate, which needs 825–1,180 mg of magnesium citrate in each capsule, against 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule (size 000) at powder density 0.8 g/mL, the top of the usual 0.6–0.8 range: it fits only that size. No US retail price matched as of 2026-11-02; 17 of the 135 citrate labels in this registry have a matched price. NIH DSLD 326662, label dated 2025-02-23.

Mass: 825–1,180 mg per capsule · Price: none matched · % DV: 100% vs 95%
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.

Will 400 mg of citrate actually fit in one capsule, or do I need more than one?
Estimated salt mass versus assumed capsule capacity: OL Olympian Labs Magnesium Citrate 400 mg implies 825–1,180 mg of magnesium citrate in each capsule to deliver 400 mg of elemental magnesium, against 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule (size 000) at powder density 0.8 g/mL, the top of the usual 0.6–0.8 range. Verdict: needs size 000, read at the most favourable hydration and the most units per serving.
computed with assumption| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Elemental magnesium per serving | 400 mg |
| Units per serving | 3 |
| Magnesium citrate per serving | 2,475–3,540 mg |
| Magnesium citrate per capsule | 825–1,180 mg |
| Capsule capacity 0 · 00 · 000 | 545 · 730 · 1,100 mg |
| Verdict | Needs size 000 |
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.

How much elemental magnesium is actually in this label's filed magnesium lines?
OL Olympian Labs Magnesium Citrate 400 mg files 1 magnesium line in NIH DSLD 326662; the selected primary line declares 400 mg of elemental magnesium per serving, against 0 other rows excluded from the primary amount. A salt named under another nutrient does not turn that nutrient's quantity into elemental magnesium.

Does this label's citrate claim hold up, or could the magnesium come from another source?
The label names one magnesium form, citrate, resolved from the full NIH DSLD record text; at that salt the declaration is within the assumed size 000 capacity at powder density 0.8 g/mL, compared with oxide, the salt richest in magnesium at 60.3%.
