- At 3 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 399 mg of magnesium, 1.1 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
The NIH database records 1 to 3 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.
