Nutrients Separating/Crystalizing

Hi folks, I've got a question about my nutrients. I am currently using Dyna-Gro Bloom in my system, and when I changed the nutrients the other day I noticed (from splashing the nutrient around inside the bottle) that there is a lot of gunk on the bottom that has separated from the formula and has crystalized into a bottom layer. The bottle is opaque so I have not seen this but I can hear the chunks splashing around in there.

So, is this the sign of a cheap nutrient? This is the nutrient that came with my hydroponics kit so I imagine it isn't a premium brand. Have I lost an important ingredient in this solid chunk that the plants need, or is this just salt? Should I attempt to redissolve the formula? Any advice would be appreciated; thanks.
