My Mg got to 1500 when I switched to AF probiotic salt. My component 1 has Mg with Ca. Fortunately the Ca is also close to 500 so I don't dose it. I'm probably lacking the extra elements that are in component 1 because I can't dose it. I actually switched salt to red sea blue bucket. It was icp tested and its Mg is a little less than 1300. My Mg is finally A coming to NSW range. AF doesn't seem to want to look up the icp results for my big box of salt I cannot use. I tried looking it up myself. The label does not work on the AF site. I don't think it was icp tested. Why would AF want to keep such high Mg? Scientific based evidence would be helpful.
