The value calculator: what you really pay for each 100 mg of magnesium
Why a Calculator?
Magnesium products are easy to compare wrongly. One bottle says "1,000 mg" and another says "250 mg", but the numbers may measure different things. The fair way to compare is price per 100 mg of elemental magnesium, which is the amount that counts toward your daily intake.
Step 1: Find the Elemental Magnesium
- Elemental magnesium is the weight of the magnesium itself.
- Compound weight is the weight of the whole ingredient, for example magnesium glycinate (magnesium plus the amino acid glycine). Magnesium glycinate contains only about 10 to 14 percent elemental magnesium.
Read the Supplement Facts panel. A line such as "Magnesium (as magnesium glycinate) ___ mg" usually shows the elemental amount.

Step 2: Run the Numbers
| Step | Calculation |
|---|---|
| 1 | Elemental magnesium per serving (from the label) |
| 2 | Servings per bottle (from the label) |
| 3 | Total elemental magnesium in the bottle = step 1 × step 2 |
| 4 | Cost per 100 mg = bottle price ÷ (step 3 ÷ 100) |
A Worked Example (Illustrative Numbers Only)
| Product A | Product B | |
|---|---|---|
| Label says | 200 mg elemental per serving | 250 mg elemental per serving |
| Servings per bottle | 90 | 60 |
| Total elemental magnesium | 18,000 mg | 15,000 mg |
| Bottle price | PKR 4,500 | PKR 3,900 |
| Cost per 100 mg | PKR 25 | PKR 26 |
The lesson: the products look different, but their real cost is almost the same. Always run the numbers, and compare the form and your own tolerance too, not only the price.

Why Glycinate?
Magnesium glycinate is magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid. This binding is called chelation, and it helps keep the magnesium stable in the gut. Many people find glycinate gentler on the stomach than oxide or citrate. Research comparing forms is still developing, so we do not claim that it is better for everyone. If budget matters more to you than gentleness, see our lower-cost [Spring Valley Magnesium 250 mg] page.
What Magnesium Does

How Much Magnesium Do You Need?
| Group | Daily requirement (US guidance) |
|---|---|
| Adult men | 400 to 420 mg |
| Adult women | 310 to 320 mg |
| Pregnancy | 350 to 360 mg |
| Upper limit from supplements (adults) | 350 mg of elemental magnesium |
The upper limit applies to magnesium from supplements and medicines, not from food. Good food sources include nuts (badam, kaju), pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, daal, spinach and whole grains. Refined foods, such as white flour and polished rice, contain less.

How to Take It
- Take [serving as directed on the label], with food.
- If the label suggests more than one capsule, you may split the serving across two meals.
- Drink water through the day.
- Count magnesium from other products, such as multivitamins and antacids.
Spacing: leave at least 2 hours between magnesium and tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, thyroid medicine (levothyroxine), bisphosphonate bone medicines, and high-dose iron, zinc or calcium. Ask your pharmacist.
What to Expect
Magnesium glycinate is generally well tolerated. Taking more than your body can handle may cause loose motions, stomach cramps or nausea. If this happens, reduce the amount and speak to a doctor.
Who Should Speak to a Doctor First
- People with kidney disease, since the kidneys remove excess magnesium
- People with heart rhythm problems or low blood pressure on medication
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- Anyone taking regular prescription medicines, including diuretics
- Anyone buying for a child
