DID YOU KNOW? Supplemental calcium is not only ineffective for bone health, but is associated with some pretty serious health risks, including heart disease, cancer and kidneys stones.
A meta-analysis of studies involving more than 12,000 people published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) found that calcium supplementation increases the risk of:
- Heart attack by 31 percent
- Stroke by 20 percent
- Death from all causes by 9 percent
In addition, daily supplementation of calcium at 1,000 mg is associated with increased prostate cancer risk and an increase in kidney stones.
Lastly, a Swedish study reported a 40 percent higher risk of death among women with high calcium intakes (1,400 mg and above), and a 157 percent higher risk of death if those women were taking a 500-mg calcium supplement daily.
