Calcium Supplementation: A Complex Desert Landscape

Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in maintaining bone health. However, the role of calcium supplementation in cardiovascular health is a complex issue, like navigating a desert landscape with hidden dangers lurking beneath the surface. This meta-analysis, published in the journal The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, examined the cardiovascular effects of calcium supplementation. The authors reviewed the results of several randomized, placebo-controlled trials and found that calcium supplements increased the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. The study suggests that calcium supplementation may not be a safe and effective strategy for preventing cardiovascular disease.
