does magnesium need to be taken with calcium?

i just read that mag can make your ph go up so would it be better to skip it? is that true?

Both mag and calcium supplements can make pH go up. Actually calcium is even worse than magnesium.

Honestly, we don't really truly KNOW if they both need to be taken, jsut one, or neither. Someone needs to do a study where one group of animals takes just calcium, one group just magnesium, one group both and one group neither and see what happens.
