Hi @ashok69 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I think it is critically important that you consult a physician about taking supplements for low testosterone and bone metabolism when you aren't currently low on calcium, but it is great that you are following up and doing research early on to try and get a handle on it.

What did your doctor suggest to counter the effects?

Thanks for your taking your time to read mypost @amandaburnett , and for your comments. The article you suggested is interesting, but I wasn't writing about calcium in the heart muscle cells, but rather calcium deposits in the coronary vessels, much like fat deposits blocking the passage of blood.
