No, don't expect your magnesium in that supplement to work.
The calcium will however.
Magnesium oxide remains in the bowel, and is today used as a laxative. Phillips Laxative tablets in US contain 500mg of magnesium oxide.
The average amount of magnesium ABSORBED from the oxide from a 400mg dose is about 8-10mg. (that is the average amount in an egg).
Studies were done on people taking various forms of magnesium where blood levels were measured to see how much was absorbed, and the oxide form was by far the lowest and least useful.
My link I gave above has tons of information on magnesium supplements and food sources. Modifying your diet a little, can provide the magnesium you need.
3oz of unsalted almonds have 270mg by comparison.
