You don't know what you are writing about. The phosphorus content
of fertilizers is measured *as*if* it were in the form of
phosphorus pentoxide, but I assure you that Miracid does NOT
contain phosphorus in that chemical combination.

And the word "sequestered" is also improper: the correct term is
"chelated", even if the commercial name is "sequestrene".
