Calcium Supplements, Too Much Of A Good Thing? | Arthritis Information

 

Negative health effects linked to taking too much supplemental calcium are on the rise, according to a commentary appearing in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society Nephrology (JASN). The incidence of the so-called milk-alkali or calcium-alkali syndrome is growing in large part because of widespread use of over-the-counter calcium and vitamin D supplements.

While on calcium supplements due to prednisone use my calcium levels went well above normal so my doctor took me off of them.  I still take D and my level is the highest of normal.
