Has Anyone Heard That By Taking Calcium It Causes Clogged Arteries?

I am wondering what is worse...low bone density or clogged arteries.

Yes. We should keep our calcium in middle range of lab values. Calcium can cause build up in cardiovascular system and kidneys. I am taking plant based for absorption. Aquamin is from sea algae. It is important to get all the minerals like birob, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, manganese etc. K2 is vital for absorption.

Hi, I wonder also about that. You can find plant based calcium which is better than ground rock.

If you take a plant based calcium, it will not clog the arteries. Most people take the crushed rock type which isn’t good.

New to group.
My understanding is not to take more than 1200 mg n to take no more than 500 at a time. Body can’t absorb it. You can end w cliogged arteries or kidney stones. Also I believe that only applies to supplements. Calcium from food sources do not cause those problems.

That is a new one for me. You should not be taking more than 1200 a day
