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.
