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).
0 milligrams of magnesium.
people are focused on other wrong things but.... the past participle of run is run

Yeah it's seriously upsetting.
0 milligrams or 0 Magnesium?

Instead of arguing about 0Mg vs 0mg - use the best of both and upset everyone: 0ᴍg
youve heard of uppercase and lowercase, meet middlecase
0mg or 0mg?
Omg, 0mg o' Mg
Yes
Cholesterol?
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.

That's deadly isn't it
Mg: 0 mg
IUPAC convention needs a space between number and unit. You can only omit the space for % or degrees.
