  • At 4 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 360 mg of magnesium, 1 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.

The NIH database records 2 to 4 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
