Risks of too much calcium from supplements

Thank you, I shared the link and will read it later on.

Hello @tillymack,

Here is a quick answered question from Mayo Clinic about calcium supplements and whether or not they increase risks for heart issues:

Right now, research shows there may be conflicting data and risks, but like the video you shared mentioned there is no risk from calcium intake through foods. The data and research gaps seem to be specifically focused on calcium supplements. It is always best to talk with a provider when starting any supplement to make sure there are not contraindications with current medications or other potential risk factors.

At while on Evenity the fr requires periodic blood tests to check calcium levels in blood.
Would having a normal level indicate the calcium supplements were not harmful?

Since many people with osteoporosis have other health conditions, thorough blood tests and a good doctor interpreting them are important…CKD is an example of a condition requiring excellent dietary balance, and super care about any type of supplements.

I sent for Calciven its says a natural bone support. It has D3 ascholecalciferol 50mcg,calcium as dicalcium malate120mg, magnesium60mg, vitaminK2 Mk7, boron. Website is http://www.nutreance.com out in Greenwich,CT if interested.

There are several forms of calcium in supplements-notably some are plant-based…worthwhile to do your own research.

@JustinMcClanahan I always wonder if fortified milk is calcium by food or a supplement? Any thoughts on this?

Maybe the ingredient label of the specific product would provide an indication of what is added.
