I don't do that tho there was support for that on magnesium research lab. No doubt you know that the main cause of osteoporosis is dietary acid load more than low calcium intake. Acid makes you pass more calcium in urine as nine breaks down to neutralise acid. Or else muscle breaks down. 

The two most unnecessary forms of acid are sodas and salt. Sodas have citric or phosphoric acid. Even diet sodas. Sodas are killers. Salt is via chloride acid pump which is kind of funny as chloride also causes concrete cancer. Salt spray rots seaside buildings. Magnesium chloride also called magnesite used to be used to level concrete floors in the 60s & 70s but caused severe concrete cancer. 

Www.betterbones.com has good info on diet acid and bones and many references. A good resource.
