Calcium Supplementation May Reduce Fracture Risk
Calcium Supplements Increase Vascular Events?
Study Sparks Uncertainty About Cardiovascular Effects of Calcium Supplements in Postmenopausal Women “The results of the study, titled "Vascular events in healthy older women receiving calcium supplementation: randomized controlled trial," suggest a link between calcium supplementation and increased rates of adverse cardiovascular events in postmenopausal women. The study's authors urge clinicians to balance this new information against the acknowledged benefits of calcium on bone health. … Although many calcium supplementation studies do not mention vascular events, the authors of this study report found three other studies that showed slight trends similar to those uncovered in the current study. The authors write, "Taken together, these four studies raise major concerns about the cardiovascular safety of calcium supplementation, particularly with respect to myocardial infarction in older postmenopausal women."”
