Dietary calcium is generally safe, but more isn't necessarily better,
and excessive calcium doesn't provide extra bone protection. In fact, if
the calcium in your diet and from supplements exceeds the upper limit
set by the Institute of Medicine, you could increase your risk of such
health problems as:
- Kidney stones
- Prostate cancer
- Constipation
- Calcium buildup in your blood vessels
- Impaired absorption of iron and zinc
