A member asked:
What's the story with calcium supplements are they good (prevent bone trauma) vs. or bad (heart attack risk)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Too much calcium can possibly encourage deposition in the arteries. Limit calcium supplementation to about 500 mg daily, and balance it with magnesium. You will also get calcium from food.
