What is in Ionic Magnesium?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 4 ml. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| MagnesiumMagnesium (Form: from ConcenTrace) | 400 mg | 95% | Higher than 92% of 14,003 products listing magnesium (median 86 mg). 1.1 times the adult UL a day. |
| Chlorideas ConcenTraceChloride (Form: from ConcenTrace) | 1,100 mg | 48% | Higher than 99% of 1,476 products listing chloride (median 75 mg). |
| SodiumSodium (Form: from ConcenTrace) | 5 mg | 1% | 89% of 14,514 products listing sodium give more (median 55 mg). |
| PotassiumPotassium (Form: from ConcenTrace) | 5 mg | 1% | This amount is far outside what other labels list for potassium, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- At 1 serving a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 400 mg of magnesium, 1.1 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
- Its 1,100 mg of chloride is higher than 99% of the 1,476 chloride products that print an amount; 15 list more.
The NIH database records one serving 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.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
