Just completed my first ICP - MS test through ATI. Their recommended levels for Mg and Ca seem off to me. They recommend 1108 mg/l and 354 mg/l, respectively. It says that my Mg and Ca are high at 1322 mg/l and 400 mg/l, but I would think that they are slightly low based on common recommendations. Am I missing something here?

Those are scaled for the salinity, I expect, which is likely pretty low.
