    You can look at all the premium features on the "Premium" section of the website. They don't offer any additional nutrient tracking (with the exception of being able to track "net carbs" in countries where that is relevant).

    Free and Premium use the same database and Magnesium is not included in the Free database, likely because "FDA does not require food labels to list magnesium content unless magnesium has been added to the food."

    I struggle with anemia. I am not looking to get all my iron needs met with food these days, but when I was trying to get 100% RDA iron from food each day I noticed that many of not most of the iron values for user-created entries were wrong anyway.

    Are you looking to increase or decrease magnesium?

    See Table 2: Magnesium Content of Selected Foods
