When your calcium intake is insufficient, your body will remove calcium from your bones, making them weak and brittle. This can result in osteoporosis. Since women are at a higher risk of osteoporosis, many doctors recommend that they take calcium supplements, especially after reaching menopause. Because of this, older women are much more likely to take calcium supplements (2trusted source). If you don?t get the recommended amount through your diet, supplements can help fill the gap. You might also consider calcium supplements if you: follow a vegan diet. Have a high-protein or high-sodium diet, which may cause your body to excrete more calcium. Have a health condition that limits your body?s ability to absorb calcium, such as crohn?s disease or inflammatory bowel disease. Are being treated with corticosteroids over a long period of time. Have osteoporosis. There is some evidence that calcium supplements increase the risk of kidney stones. One study gave more than 36,000 postmenopausal women either a daily supplement containing 1,000 mg of calcium and 400 iu of vitamin d or a placebo pill. The results showed that those who took the supplement had an increased risk of kidney stones (27trusted source). Furthermore, while supplement users in the study experienced an overall increase in hip bone density, they didn?t have a lower risk of hip fractures. Consuming more than 2,000 mg of calcium a day from your diet or supplements is also linked to an increased risk of kidney stones, according to the institute of medicine. Other sources say that the risk of kidney stones increases when calcium intake exceeds 1,200?1,500 mg per day.
