Expert opinion please: could taking a calcium supplement reduce anxiety?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely : Calcium as a mineral causes an increase in muscle tone and in excess can contribute to muscle spasm, headaches, and heartburn. Not a recipe for relaxation.

Calcium: Calcium & magnesium have been shown to benefit some, not all, people with chronic anxiety. Consult your primary care doc. First.
