And cause bone spurs that are discomfort to painful. I've done it.
Too much calcium can form calcium plaque in your arteries similar to cholesterol and it can also calcify your heart and joints but to get that problem you would need a lot more than 500 mg of calcium as the daily requirement for calcium is at least 800 mg per day and preferably more like 1,000 mg or even 1,200 mg per day.
If you take large amounts of calcium you should also take magnesium to avoid preferential absorption of calcium at the expense of magnesium which could cause a magnesium deficiency.
According to one study?
Calcium forms fairly soluble compounds. Large amounts of calcium can precipitate with an anion but you would need to take in huge amounts of calcium. It's much more likely to form kidney stones before it hardens arteries. But, it does accumulate around the joints at times. But again, you need to either have a disease, or you need to take in way too much calcium.
Yes, there is a such thing s too much calcium. However, I also known that there are different forms of calcium. Every form of calcium has a different absorbing rate. The kind that I prefer is called Calcium Orotate, which discovered by a German physician named Dr. Hans Nieper. This form of calcium is specifically designed to deliver the calcium straight to the interior of the cell. Then the cell delivers the calcium to the part of the body where the calcium is needed. The product name that I use is called Intracal. The product also contains the magnesium orotate. The product also has the recommended 2 to 1 ratio of calcium to magnesium.The recommended dosage is two capsules three times daily.
All the alternative doctors I know say that if you take calcium without magnesium and vitamin D you will get spurs or stones The magnesium and D help the calcium to absorb through your body properly. Virginia is right there are different forms of calcium but I don't remember which one is the easiest absorbed. I think it is Calcium Citrate
You can take 500 or 600 mg calcium but you have to take magnesium 250 to 300 mg and vitamin D with it too. vitamin D3 is better to take than the D
