> Hi Lar,
> I phoned Ajax (as mentoned in that post),,they wanted $51.90 for pharmaceutical grade(BP), and $59.90 for lab grade for 500ml...gee Epsom salts (pharmacy grade -BP)from the supermarket is about $5 for 1 Kg.

Do you have the chemical supply house called Sigma in Oz? They'd be worth checking out.
> They err said that some companies probably repackage it and onsell for human use..without really saying so.
Technical grade isn't "clean" enough for human consumption, IMHO.

> They couldn't give me the specs though(unsure why), but said they'd ask around for me for a distributor with a better price than Ajax and phone me back on Friday with the name of where I may be able to obtain some cheaper BP grade from.
