Back to the topic of magnesium

I did contact NOW Foods and spoke with a very nice and polite young man in their nutrition department. The conversation went something like this:

Audrey: Hello, on the label for your Magnesium Citrate 180 Softgels, does the 400 mg dosage refer to the amount of elemental magnesium?

NOW: Yes, ma’am, it is all elemental.

Audrey: Is that also true for all of your magnesium products?

NOW: Yes, ma’am, they all refer to elemental values.

Audrey: With all due respect, then why doesn’t it say “elemental” on the product labels?

NOW: That’s assumed, ma’am.
