Magnesium lines as filed

The Vitamin Shoppe Magnesium Citrate 200 mg retains 1 magnesium-related rows in NIH DSLD 204431, including 1 rows selected for the primary serving, from label 2019-07-24, examined 2026-09-13.

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

The Vitamin Shoppe Magnesium Citrate 200 mg has no filed serving count for package arithmetic in NIH DSLD 204431, according to label 2019-07-24, calculated 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

The Vitamin Shoppe Magnesium Citrate 200 mg files 1 magnesium percent-daily-value entries in NIH DSLD 204431; the check below applies the group-specific references in 21 CFR 101.9 to its 200 mg primary serving, calculated 2026-09-13.

Declared values and current-reference arithmetic
Group as filedDeclaredReferenceRecomputedDifference
Adults and children 4 or more years of age50%420 mg48%2 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.
