Dietary sodium chloride intake independently predicts the degree of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis in healthy humans consuming a net acid-producing diet
Compensation occurs and the imbalance is corrected fast, but this comes with a cost. Note that it would be worse if it was magnesium instead of sodium. It isn't a big deal if the person is healthy, but if there are better forms available, it makes no sense to insist on using it.
So, you cannot demonstrate acidosis from 1-4 gr of magnesium chloride ingested daily, except from a compensated one, and without any order of magnitude.
I believe base-forming foods like fruits and vegetables, or even supplements like potassium citrate/bicarbonate can diminish this aspect if needed.
