According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), calcium is a mineral your body needs to build and maintain strong bones and to carry out many important functions. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body.  Almost all calcium in the body is stored in bones and teeth, giving them structure and hardness.  Your body needs calcium for muscles to move and for nerves to carry messages between your brain and every part of your body. Calcium also helps blood vessels move blood throughout your body and helps release hormones that affect many functions in your body. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium.

Adults usually need 1000-1300 mg per day depending on age.

Calcium is found in many foods. You can get recommended amounts of calcium by eating a variety of foods, including dairy products (Milk, yogurt, and cheese),  canned sardines and salmon with bones contain calcium, dark leafy greens (kale, broccoli, and Chinese cabbage), and fortified foods. 

Certain groups of people are more likely to be calcium deficient including postmenopausal women, and people who don’t drink milk or eat other dairy products (people with lactose intolerance, people with milk allergies, and vegans).  Getting too little calcium can cause osteoporosis, which increases the risk of falls and fractures, rickets, a disease in children that causes soft, weak bones, and osteomalacia, which causes soft bones in children and adults.*

Calcium has many positive effects on our health, and also has some risks.  You need to discuss with your doctor before using any new supplement.  

Some studies link higher intakes of calcium from supplements to lower chances of developing osteoporosis., but more study is needed.*  Some studies have found that calcium supplements with or without vitamin D increase bone mineral density in older adults, but there are mixed results. In addition, it is not clear whether calcium supplements help prevent fractures. More research is needed to understand.  Overall, experts believe that calcium intakes with or without vitamin D from foods or supplements do not affect the risk of heart disease or of dying from heart disease.*  Some research suggests that a higher intake of calcium might help lower the risk of metabolic syndrome in women but not men. More studies are needed.*

Some research shows that people who have high intakes of calcium from food and supplements have a lower risk of cancers of the colon and rectum, but other studies do not. Some studies have shown that men with high intakes of calcium from dairy foods have an increased risk of prostate cancer.  For other types of cancer, calcium does not appear to affect the risk of getting cancer or dying of cancer. More research is needed to better understand whether calcium from foods or dietary supplements affects cancer risk.

Calcium supplements might reduce the risk of preeclampsia in some pregnant women who consume too little calcium. Therefore, many experts recommend calcium supplements during pregnancy for women with low calcium intakes.

Calcium supplements can interact with many medications (including thyroid medicine, lithium for bipolar, HIV medications, and certain antibiotics) so it is important to discuss with your doctor before starting any new supplement.
