A member asked:
What occurs if a boy consumes calcium tablets meant for women?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing specific: Nutritional supplements are transiently in the body & most of the contents eventually flushed down the toilet in the poo or pee. Calcium supplements are handled that way & the gender labeling is unimportant.If the individual is not deficient, little of the material is retained.
