What elements do you want to mix ? There was a time when we had to mix even our own salt mixes could not by any commercially made salts until the mid 60's

I always used Balls pickling lime instead or K.W and the word means lime water (:

Calcium I always used calcium chloride same stuff used for setting cement in the cold 20.00 per 50 lbs

Buffering mix one part or Borax Laundry booster to 4 parts Arm and hammer Baking soda. Thats all that is in the high dollar stuff
$ 1.00 a ton LOL

Magnesium Epsom salts 1.99 for a a couple of pounds

The list goes on and on I have used this stuff for more yrs then I care to recall..

Lugols Iodine is 9.00 for 2 . 16 oz bottles .

They charge it because people will pay it.. Its all just basic natural earth elements Not so much sicienc. Now some try to make it more then what it is . Mostly common sensce (: And knowing where to find the stuff
