The Hazards of Too Much Calcium in Your Tissues

Calcium is an important mineral for your health. However, like all minerals, you need calcium in the proper balance with the other essential minerals. Too much calcium can be as detrimental as too little calcium.

Here's a list of some conditions that can occur as a result of too much tissue calcium:
  • depression
  • fatigue
  • insomnia
  • headaches
  • memory loss
  • poor concentration
  • panic attacks
  • anxiety
  • paranoia
  • virus infections
  • adult-onset diabetes
  • muscle aches and pains
  • frequency of urination
  • constipation
  • flatulence
  • low blood pressure

Perhaps you or somebody you know has some or many of these symptoms or conditions. Does this mean you should not take calcium supplements or eat foods rich in calcium? Maybe, maybe not.

Although these symptoms can be caused by too much calcium in your tissues, this is not the only cause of these symptoms. You need to determine the mineral balance in your tissues, and only then will you know if you should be taking calcium supplements and eating calcium rich foods.
