Would this be any use as an alternative to TPN/TPN+ I notice it has trace elements in but I thought in EI they were not added everyday ? Or would this chemical combo be more like a DIY TPN+ ?

Yes.

Correct, trace elements are not added everyday in EI. However, the method used in the link isn't EI. As you have said, it's more like TPN+

[The EI guide is more to make thinks easy. you dose macros one day and traces the next. It isn't for any other reason than making things easier to remember.

Most EI users who are a little more experienced (like me) will dose both daily.

Sort of like TPN+ where the label says a weekly dose but most will dose daily.

The mic above is fine as an alternative to TPN+ however if you are going to buy the dry powders and mix yourself you may as well just go EI or PMDD+PO4 or similar.
