Magnesium citrate

Hi, i recently started taking magnesium citrate. the thing is i have read the regular dosis is 600 mg of magnesium...
the product i bought has 530 mg of citrate magnesium with Vitamin B6 125 mg. in the prospect it says you can take up to three capsules a day... What confuses me is that 530 mg of magnesium citrates is equivalent of 47,6 mg of "elemental magnesium". i have read that regular dosis of elemntal magnesuim is approximately 200 mg.. sooo... what should i pay attention to the citrate dosis or elemental magnesium dosis??? how many capsules should i take????? thanks!!!
