What the declared salt would weigh
Spring Valley Rapid-Release Magnesium Citrate 100 mg declares 100 mg of elemental magnesium per serving in NIH DSLD 65045, requiring 618.81–884.96 mg of magnesium citrate under the salt model calculated 2026-09-13.
| Step | Value | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Declared elemental magnesium | 100 mg per serving | observed · label 2016-09-22 |
| Resolved salt | Magnesium citrate · label-row | computed · name resolved from filed text |
| Reference formula | Mg₃(C₆H₅O₇)₂; 451.11 g/mol | computed · chemical reference |
| Elemental fraction | 11.3–16.16% by mass | computed |
| Why the fraction is a range | trimagnesium dicitrate 16.2%; dibasic and hydrated forms as low as 11.3% | modelled · hydrate not specified |
| Compound mass per serving | 618.81–884.96 mg = 100 mg ÷ elemental fraction | computed |
| Compound mass per discrete unit | 618.81–884.96 mg | computed |
At powder density 0.6–0.8 g/mL, 619 mg of powder requires at least a size 00 capsule (a size 0 holds about 545 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
Spring Valley Rapid-Release Magnesium Citrate 100 mg retains 1 magnesium-related rows in NIH DSLD 65045, including 1 rows selected for the primary serving, from label 2016-09-22, examined 2026-09-13.
| Filed amount | Serving order | Filed salt / notes | Calculation role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 mg | 1 | citrate Magnesium (Form: as Magnesium Citrate) | 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.
Package arithmetic · observed inputs, computed totals
What the package works out to
Spring Valley Rapid-Release Magnesium Citrate 100 mg has no filed serving count for package arithmetic in NIH DSLD 65045, according to label 2016-09-22, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Net contents as filed | 100 Capsule(s) |
|---|---|
| Discrete units in the package | 100 |
| Serving size as filed | 1 Capsule(s) |
| Units per serving | 1 |
| Servings per package | Servings not filed as of 2026-09-13 |
| Daily servings in the label instructions | 3 |
| Days per package at the label's own serving | Days not computable from filed frequency and serving count as of 2026-09-13 |
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.
Percent daily value · observed and computed
The label's percent daily value, recomputed
Spring Valley Rapid-Release Magnesium Citrate 100 mg files 1 magnesium percent-daily-value entries in NIH DSLD 65045; the check below applies the group-specific references in 21 CFR 101.9 to its 100 mg primary serving, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Group as filed | Declared | Reference | Recomputed | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adults and children 4 or more years of age | 25% | 420 mg | 24% | 1 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.

Other ingredients in the filed record
Spring Valley Rapid-Release Magnesium Citrate 100 mg lists 3 other ingredients in NIH DSLD 65045, label dated 2016-09-22, examined 2026-09-13.
| Entry | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Gelatin |
| 2 | Croscarmellose |
| 3 | Vegetable Magnesium Stearate |
Capsule material: gelatin. 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.
