No. The human body is fairly finely tuned, and you will become quite ill, because the reactions involving Mg will not occur.

No! You need certain nutrients in certain amounts for a reason.

I don't know what magnesium is for, but you need calcium for bone health.

What's wrong with getting calcium? If you are lactose intolerant, you can eat broccoli and collard greens or take supplements.

Magnesium is REQUIRED for the proper functioning of over 300 enzymes. Therefore, it is essential for health and cannot be replaced by calcium.

Best wishes.
