Excess calcium in the body will result in calcium deposits such as kidney stones, arthritis...they will disappear after taking extra magnesium.

Answer #1I read that calcium blocks the absorption of magnesium.

You should be consuming 1000 mg of calcium per day as well as 100mg of magnesium. : )Answer #2Are you asking for a good brand of Mag and Cal? Asking if you should take both? Here's what I found on it from Jigsaw Health, they're who I get a lot of my supplement information from as well as the products I take everyday:"Without sufficient magnesium, our bodies cannot use calcium properly. Magnesium is what keeps calcium dissolved in areas of the body where it needs to be (like the muscles, joints, kidneys, heart and brain for example). But when the body doesn't have enough magnesium, calcium is pulled away from the bones and can cause major problems throughout the entire body."
