Lightbulb how large are the tablets?

Humongous? or average?

Can you post the maker here so I can look it up?

A humongous size tablet of magnesium could have up to 100mg of elemental in it.
Here is an example:

The glycinate tablet here is clearly marked...elemental, and I expect it to be very large--almost an inch long (like the magnesium malate I used to use).

Magnesium Glycinate
Size Price
Each Tablet Contains: 120 $18.00

Magnesium Glycinate 1,000 mg. 240 $34.00

(providing 100 mg. of elemental Magnesium, U.S. Patent #4,599,152)
Suggested Usage:
Adults take 1 to 2 tablets daily or as directed by physician.
Here is a powder you can buy... which gives the ratio.. 20% elemental

This one gives elemental too:

I cannot answer your question if I can't see the product or label.
