My own tests (using ELOS Mg and Ca test kits) confirm the numbers (actually I got a little bit higher numbers but it might be just my testing technique.)
I have herd this before however my last bucket purchased at J&L on Boxing Day was still showing the lower levels of Ca and Mag.

Is there anything on the bucket indicating the new mix and higher levels?
