A member asked:
Is it true that too much elemental calcium in the blood (over 2500 mg) may cause calcium toxicity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: That dose is dangerously high. They is little reason to take any calcium supplements, especially that high a dose. This dose can cause kidney stones and accelerate arteriosclerosis among other side effects.
