Woodstock Vitamins Easy Magnesium
Woodstock Vitamins Easy Magnesium declares 250 mg of elemental magnesium per serving as glycinate, which would require 1,773–2,113 mg of the salt in each unit — more than the 1,100 mg a size 000 capsule holds; NIH DSLD 310207, label dated 2024-05-23, calculation 2026-09-13.

What the declared salt would weigh
Woodstock Vitamins Easy Magnesium declares 250 mg of elemental magnesium per serving in NIH DSLD 310207, requiring 1,773.05–2,113.27 mg of magnesium glycinate under the salt model calculated 2026-09-13.
| Step | Value | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Declared elemental magnesium | 250 mg per serving | observed · label 2024-05-23 |
| Resolved salt | Magnesium glycinate · label-row | computed · name resolved from filed text |
| Reference formula | Mg(C₂H₄NO₂)₂; 172.42 g/mol | computed · chemical reference |
| Elemental fraction | 11.83–14.1% by mass | computed |
| Why the fraction is a range | bisglycinate; chelate hydration varies by supplier | modelled · hydrate not specified |
| Compound mass per serving | 1,773.05–2,113.27 mg = 250 mg ÷ elemental fraction | computed |
| Compound mass per discrete unit | 1,773.05–2,113.27 mg | computed |
At powder density 0.6–0.8 g/mL, 1,773 mg of powder exceeds every standard capsule size — the largest, 000, holds about 1,100 mg.
If the declared salt were the sole source of magnesium here, each capsule would need 1,773 mg of powder, which no standard capsule holds. So the label does not establish glycinate as the only source. A blend with a denser salt or a non-standard capsule could reconcile it. This is a statement about the label's arithmetic, not about what is in the bottle.
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
Woodstock Vitamins Easy Magnesium retains 1 magnesium-related rows in NIH DSLD 310207, including 1 rows selected for the primary serving, from label 2024-05-23, examined 2026-09-13.
| Filed amount | Serving order | Filed salt / notes | Calculation role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 mg | 1 | glycinate, lysinate TRAACS magnesium lysinate glycinate chelate | 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
Woodstock Vitamins Easy Magnesium works out to 60 days per package at the label's own serving and filed frequency of 2 servings per day, according to label 2024-05-23, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Net contents as filed | 240 Vegetarian Capsule(s) |
|---|---|
| Discrete units in the package | 240 |
| Serving size as filed | 1–2 Capsule(s) |
| Units per serving | 1–2 |
| Servings per package | 120 |
| Daily servings in the label instructions | 2 |
| Days per package at the label's own serving | 60 days |
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.

A same-salt reference for this package
At the median cost per 100 mg observed across 20 glycinate labels ($0.1264), a package of this size (30,000 mg elemental in Woodstock Vitamins Easy Magnesium) would correspond to $37.91, using observations from 2026-08-10 to 2026-09-11, calculated 2026-09-13. This is a benchmark, not a retailer quote.
| Salt and number of observations | Magnesium glycinate · n = 20 |
|---|---|
| Median observed cost per 100 mg | $0.1264 |
| Filed elemental magnesium per package | 30,000 mg |
| Benchmark package equivalent | $37.91 = median EC100 × package elemental mg ÷ 100 |
| Evidence tier | benchmark · calculated 2026-09-13 |
The median is the middle sorted observation, or the average of the two middle observations for an even group. Each label contributes one observation. This value is neither an offer nor an estimate of a specific retailer's current price.
Percent daily value · observed and computed
The label's percent daily value, recomputed
Woodstock Vitamins Easy Magnesium files 1 magnesium percent-daily-value entries in NIH DSLD 310207; the check below applies the group-specific references in 21 CFR 101.9 to its 250 mg primary serving, calculated 2026-09-13.
| Group as filed | Declared | Reference | Recomputed | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adults and children 4 or more years of age | 63% | 420 mg | 60% | 3 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.
