1. Kidney stones: Consuming too much calcium can increase the risk of developing kidney stones, especially for those who are already predisposed to them.
2. Hypercalcemia: This is a condition characterized by high levels of calcium in the blood, which can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, confusion, and fatigue.
3. Cardiovascular issues: Excessive calcium intake has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes.
4. Prostate cancer: Some studies have suggested a potential link between high calcium intake and an increased risk of developing prostate cancer.
5. Constipation: Consuming too much calcium can lead to gastrointestinal issues such as constipation, bloating, and abdominal discomfort.
6. Interference with other minerals: Excessive calcium intake can interfere with the absorption of other important minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and iron.
7. Osteoporosis: While calcium is important for maintaining bone health, consuming too much calcium without adequate levels of other bone-building nutrients can actually weaken bones over time.
8. Hormonal imbalances: High calcium intake can disrupt the balance of hormones in the body, particularly hormones involved in regulating calcium levels.
9. Impaired kidney function: Excessive calcium intake can put strain on the kidneys, potentially leading to impaired kidney function over time.
10. Increased risk of mortality: Some studies have suggested that high calcium intake, particularly from supplements, may be associated with an increased risk of mortality from all causes.
