Ortho Molecular Products Reacted Magnesium Powder: 300 mg of magnesium per 5.7 gram, 30 servings
300 mg of magnesium in each 5.7 gram, about 30 servings per 171 Gram. Glycinate is 11.8–14.1% magnesium. Inside: salt per scoop, %DV check.
Ortho Molecular Products Reacted Magnesium Powder declares 300 mg of elemental magnesium per serving as glycinate, which means 2,128–2,536 mg of magnesium glycinate powder in one serving, compared with 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule; that is the weight of the salt alone, before any fillers or flavours in the scoop. No US retail price matched as of 2026-11-02; 17 of the 73 glycinate labels in this registry have a matched price. NIH DSLD 173935, label dated 2018-02-23.

Mass: 2,128–2,536 mg per serving · Price: none matched · % DV: 75% vs 71%
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 glycinate powder is in one scoop?
Ortho Molecular Products Reacted Magnesium Powder carries 2,128–2,536 mg of magnesium glycinate per serving for 300 mg of elemental magnesium, against 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule; capsule capacities do not apply to this powder.

The filed salt can have more than one hydration state (bisglycinate; chelate hydration varies by supplier), so the compound mass is a range.

How much elemental magnesium is actually in this label's filed magnesium lines?
Ortho Molecular Products Reacted Magnesium Powder files 1 magnesium line in NIH DSLD 173935; the selected primary line declares 300 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 glycinate claim hold up, or could the magnesium come from another source?
The label names one magnesium form, glycinate, resolved from the filed magnesium line; capsule capacities do not apply to this form, compared with oxide, the salt richest in magnesium at 60.3%.
