Calcium Supplements
Studies have found that calcium supplements can increase the risk of heart attacks, kidney stones and gastrointestinal problems, while calcium intake from food is safe. If you're not able to obtain the recommended amount of calcium from food, then a daily supplement of 500-600mg a day is generally safe, but it's always better to get it from food if possible.
