Could it hurt me to take calcium supplements?!


Question: Calcium alone won't absorb into your body very well. You would need to take Calcium and Magnesium and Zinc together. You can buy supplements with all 3 included.

It won't hurt you. It is beneficial if you are not getting enough Calcium in your diet. Calcium is good for bone strength.

Doctor's don't promote vitamins.... Mostly because they make (( NO )) money off of them. Go figure. We are (all) vitamin deficient.

Everything in moderation. Follow the label instructions and it won't hurt you. I'm almost 50 years old and I take no prescription medication at all.... NOTHING.

I do take vitimins and I take Cal.,Mag & Zinc. Been taking it for years. Works for me!

In theory yes.

Depends on whether or not you like the idea of having kidney stones.

No...as long as you don't over do it....

Read the link given by Robgently. Its very informative.

It all depends on whether or not you take any other medication, your age and diet. I take a calcium supplement (as prescribed by my doctor) as I have osteoporosis and emphysema, so when I am prescribed steroids and antibiotics, I have to cut down on my calcium supplement.
