[ A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR MAGNESIUM ]
Does your magnesium
add up?
Your bottle says glycinate. But do the numbers tell the same story?
Photograph the label to check whether its elemental magnesium claim fits the form and amount listed.
A label check, not a lab test. We can flag a mismatch, but cannot prove hidden ingredients or certify purity.
Let’s read your label.
Get the ingredients, magnesium amounts and serving size in focus. Add a second photo if needed.

[ YOUR LABEL CHECK ]
What can this check actually tell me?
Pure anhydrous magnesium bisglycinate has a theoretical elemental magnesium content of about 14.10%. Anhydrous trimagnesium dicitrate is about 16.16%. Water of hydration lowers these proportions. We use the upper bounds to avoid treating a typical assay percentage as a universal limit.
We flag a substantial mismatch only above the upper bound plus the greater of 2 mg or 5% of that bound. This is an engineering screening margin, not a regulatory tolerance. Smaller excesses are inconclusive. Even a consistent result cannot prove a product is unbuffered.
If the label gives only “Magnesium 200 mg (as glycinate)”, the compound weight is missing. Mixed forms, proprietary blends, ambiguous servings and unsupported chemical forms return “not enough information”.
Photo reading is experimental. Always check the extracted details. The result assesses the label, not absorption, medical suitability or the actual contents of the bottle.
