Aside from cost (if that is a significant concern), there's no reason to change away from B-ionic for calcium and alk dosing. I do not believe there is a demonstrably better product for this purpose. That said, you might switch to a lot of other products and notice no difference.

Boost the calcium to 420 ppm with just the calcium part, then continue dosing as usual.

Thanks. Do you mean a one time add to get to 420 or increase the 25 ml‘/day to something higher?
