What is in Magnesium Complex?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 2 capsules. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin B6as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride | 20 mg | 1,176% | Higher than 71% of 15,277 products listing vitamin B6 (median 6 mg). Per day at the most servings: 40 mg. |
| Mag4-Sci Magnesium Complex | 200 mg | 48% | |
| Magnesium Bisglycinate | in the blend, no amount given | The label names the compound (Magnesium Bisglycinate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the magnesium it holds, so it is not placed among other products. | |
| Magnesium Malate | in the blend, no amount given | ||
| Magnesium Citrate | in the blend, no amount given | ||
| Magnesium Oxide | in the blend, no amount given | ||
| BioPerineas Piper nigrumstandardized to 95% piperine, standardized to 50:1 | 5 mg | 33% of 2,363 products listing black pepper give more (median 5 mg). Per day at the most servings: 10 mg. |

Is that a lot?
Every amount on this label with a position sits within the middle 80% of the products that list the same ingredient; 4 ingredients sit inside a blend, so their amounts cannot be compared.
The NIH database records 2 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.
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.
