    That’s 0 milligrams. 0 magnesium would be “0 Mg” (pay attention to capitalisation). Or even “0mg Mg”.

      But but but 0 Mg would mean 0 megagrams! Capitalization doesn’t fix the ambiguity!!1!

        0mg is unambiguous. 0Mg has the two options. The issue is just that the OP is wrong (well, partially right but not what they wanted).

    Instead of arguing about 0Mg vs 0mg - use the best of both and upset everyone: 0ᴍg

        A long time ago I bought a generic brand chip just because it had 0mg Cholesterol! in bold print on the front. They were awful to eat but the picture was worth a few hundred likes on Twitter (Currently known as Elon Musk’s X) back then.

    While we’re intentionally avoiding the joke, a space should be placed between the number and the unit, preferably a non-breaking one.

    Mg: 0 mg

    IUPAC convention needs a space between number and unit. You can only omit the space for % or degrees.
