However I contacted the companies head office and they assured me that the BP grade I purchased was actually Pharmaceutical grade AND food grade and was in fact pure enough to feed intravenously to hospital patients. The company actually pointed out to me that the BP grade Mag Chlor I was purchasing would in all probability be purer than the tap water I drink each day with regard to trace element contaminants so I felt safe purchasing the BP grade Mag Chlor.
Sooo.. WHERE did you get it from!!!...here I have been all year making my own Mg Cl2 out of Epsoms Salts BP (from 1 kg packets at Woolies or Coles) and NaCl..cooking salt.I actually prefer a sodium/mag chloride mix..just to be sure I get all the sulphate out...I think you are supposed to mix 4 spoons of epsoms salts to 2 spoons of sodium chloride to get the right mix??? ..the first time I mixed it the other way around and it was really just like normal salt in taste, ands I guess fine in place of normal salt..which is the amount I used on food.
Now I just mix 3 spoons of each dissolved in a little water, put in freezer..when crystals form..filter the jelly-crystals thru an old stocking (or some filter, probably a coffee paper filter would be better if I had one) and repeat the freeze-filter process a couple of times.
Leave as a solution and just use a couple of drops at a time instead of salt, say in oatmeal, or on steak..that's been heaps for me!
Lar, do I have this right?..is the same amount of each a sodium/magnesium chloride mix? That's what I want to achieve.Hopefully with all the sulphate out.
I also use the epsom salts in baths.Bluedog..just buying it would be much easier...I'm in Oz too.
