1. is it possible to overdose on calcium?
Excessive calcium intake can be very harmful to the human body. Excessive use of calcium can increase the risk of heart attacks and vascular occlusions. If more than 1500 mg of calcium is consumed per day, the excess calcium is excreted through the urinary tract. In people with impaired kidney function, this can cause kidney stones in severe cases.
2 What is calcium?
Calcium is a vital mineral. In terms of quantity, it is the most abundant in the human body. Calcium is stored in the bones and teeth and gives them the necessary strength. Calcium plays an essential role in the transmission of stimuli in muscles and nerves. For this reason it should be taken in daily through the diet. Calcium deficiency is defined as a too low concentration of calcium in the human body. In a deficiency situation, the calcium level is below the value of 2.3 mmol/l (millimoles per litre).
3. symptoms of a calcium deficiency
A calcium deficiency can be recognized by a wide variety of symptoms:
- Muscle cramp

4. calcium in the form of food supplements
If you want to increase a low calcium level with a food supplement, you should pay attention to the form of the active ingredient and its origin. Calcium capsules are particularly suitable for increasing calcium levels. They are very well tolerated and are utilized by the body to a high degree. The preparation should also not contain any chemical additives. If you buy a preparation from Germany, you can be sure that the product has also been produced safely and is of high quality.
