A number of clinical trials have revealed that there is a 30% increase in the number of heart attacks in individuals whom consume calcium supplements. In addition, these studies suggested that this can be fatal.
Moreover, individuals with an intake of 805mg or more of calcium prior to calcium supplementation may also be at risk of cardiovascular illnesses. A second study conducted by the same researchers (Bolland et al 2010) evaluated the intake of calcium and vitamin D. As suggested by the previous study, calcium increased the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarctions whereas vitamin D had no significant influence on cardiovascular diseases.
