Each capsule contains 500 mg of magnesium citrate, supplying 80 mg of elemental magnesium – 21% NRV. The label also provides values for 5 capsules, which supply 2500 mg of magnesium citrate and 400 mg of elemental magnesium – 107% NRV.
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, normal functioning of the nervous system and normal energy-yielding metabolism. It also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, electrolyte balance, normal psychological function and normal protein synthesis.
The product clearly distinguishes between the weight of the magnesium citrate compound and the amount of elemental magnesium it supplies. The 80 mg elemental magnesium per capsule is the value used when calculating the NRV.
The container provides 150 capsules, with the label declaring a serving size of 1 capsule and 150 servings per container.
