Vitamin World Albion Chelated Magnesium 700 mg: 400 mg of magnesium per 4 caplet, 25 servings
400 mg of magnesium in each 4 caplet, about 25 servings per 100 Coated Caplet. Glycinate is 11.8–14.1% magnesium. Inside: label lines, ingredients.
Vitamin World Albion Chelated Magnesium 700 mg declares 400 mg of elemental magnesium per serving as glycinate, which means 2,837–3,381 mg of magnesium glycinate compound in one 4 caplet(s), compared with 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule; capsule verdicts do not apply to this other (e.g. tea bag). 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 20982, label dated 2013-04-25.

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 compound is in one serving?
Vitamin World Albion Chelated Magnesium 700 mg carries 2,837–3,381 mg of magnesium glycinate per serving for 400 mg of elemental magnesium, against 1,100 mg in the largest standard capsule; capsule capacities do not apply to this other (e.g. tea bag).

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?
Vitamin World Albion Chelated Magnesium 700 mg files 1 magnesium line in NIH DSLD 20982; 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 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%.
