Of course not. Epson is a printer brand.
It's called "epsom salt" (an actual salt, by the way).

If I ever need a Calcium supplement it won't be a CalMag product. Every time you buy it the nutrient companies are literally robbing you blind. I'd just use some Calcium Nitrate at the rate of 10ml per 5L. I already supplement with Epsom Salt at 5ml per 5L.

Who told you that? You really seem to be quite convinced. Are you a chemist?
Meanwhile, I couldn't resist going to the Advanced Nutrients website and reading about their CalMag product (it's called Sensi Cal Mag Xtra®). Uncovering the following:
Most Cal-Mag Additives Are Designed for… Tomatoes!
And they lack the additional nutrients your cannabis is starving for.
And just like you wouldn’t feed your dog fish food…
You shouldn’t feed your complex plants a solution made for a vegetable.
At least, you wouldn’t be doing your crop any favors.
In fact, if you’ve ever used a generic Cal-Mag additive… only to watch your garden’s condition worsen over time...
And, to be honest, that perfectly explains why CalMag has such a bad rep here. You've all been using the wrong CalMag (the tomato one). Of course it did nothing for you.

Epsom salts are not an actual salt. It's magnesium sulfate a naturally occuring compound. It initially came from some spring in Epsom England where they would boil down the water to obtain it. It's now collected all around the world from natural deposits or made from combining magnesium carbonate or other forms of magnesium with sulfuric acid.

At least I share the opinion of actual chemists around the world. And of Wikipedia.
In this case I'm quite happy to walk with the masses.

I wouldn't believe any of that marketing crap on AN's website. They're just trying to sell their overpriced product. Pure marketing crap. Cannabis uses and the same damn nutrients tomatoes use. There is not a special calcium just for cannabis.

Yes they are. "Salt" is a chemistry term, and it applies to magnesium sulphate (epsom salt). Fact.
Citing Wikipedia again:
Magnesium sulfate or magnesium sulphate (in English-speaking countries other than the US) is a chemical compound, a salt with the formula MgSO4, consisting of magnesium cations Mg2+ (20.19% by mass) and sulfate anions SO2−4.
