However, magnesium glycinate is 14.1% magnesium by weight, so 14.1% by weight means 1,000mg is 141mg of magnesium. Therefore, 400mg magnesium is 2800mg magnesium glycinate. Now, my question is, is 2,400mg glycine? So apparently there's 2,600mg of other stuff in this product.

 

FOR SOMEBODY TAKING LET'S SAY 5g GLYCINE EACH DAY, does that mean they can subtract out 2,400mg and only need to take 2.6g?

The remaining 4.6 grams of the 5-gram serving would likely consist of the glycinate component. Magnesium glycinate is a compound formed by combining magnesium with glycine, an amino acid. The majority of the weight in the serving is attributed to the glycinate molecule, while the magnesium portion contributes 400mg. For example, in the magnesium supplement I use, Magnesium Glycinate 500mg from Nutraharmony, 90mg is pure (elemental) magnesium, whilst the other 410mg is glycinate.
