Can I take Cal-Mag instead of a separate magnesium supplement?

Cal-Mag is designed for balanced mineral support. However, if your physician specifically recommended high-dose magnesium for sleep or constipation, you might need a dedicated magnesium product. Cal-Mag is best for general bone and metabolic maintenance rather than targeted therapeutic magnesium needs.
