remember.... there is elemental dosing and total dosing.
1000mg of magnesium malate has 150mg of elemental magnesium, and the rest is the malate portion. (this is on the label of Puritan's malate version.)
This is true for all the combos with slightly varying elemental values. A good supplement will state on its label what the elemental value is. But many do not.
I have seen on the net that citrate is 16% elemental with up to 90% of that absorbed.
So if you take 1000mg of magnesium citrate, about 160mg is magnesium. This is about 1/2 the RDA for adults.
