- 94% of the 14,003 products that print an amount of magnesium list more than its 9 mg of magnesium (median 86 mg).

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.
