Hi, both my "Bone Fracture Clinic" practitioner and my gyn asked me if I took calcium supplements. When I said no, they both replied "Good, don't" I was surprised, expecting a lecture on how I should be taking them. Instead, I was told that studies had shown that most of the calcium from supplements does not get absorbed into your bones, and in fact there is concern that some of it actually may be deposited in your arteries, giving you an increased risk of cardiovascular issues. We should try to get our calcium requirements met by food as much as possible. I don't know - all I know is I wouldn't take the supplements because they were just too big for me to swallow without fear of choking to death. Maybe the thoughts on this have changed and the pendulum is swinging back to the original way of thinking. Just relating what I was told several years ago......
