Why would you need both? Dont they disassociate into Mg, Cl, So4, either way? I think I have enough Cl ions in my NaCl?

Initially there were concerns when they changed their formula but I checked into it years ago and I believe those concerns were primarily laid to rest. I have used it with great success and I am dosing heavy for SPS and have been for years now. Same with the epsom salts.
