Abstract in brief

  • Most Americans do not meet the recommended calcium intake, but supplements can help fulfill this need and support bone health across various age groups, including children, young adults, and menopausal women.
  • Calcium supplements come mainly in carbonate and citrate forms; carbonate is cost-effective and best taken with meals, while citrate can be taken without food and is suitable for people with specific stomach issues.
  • Excessive calcium intake (over 1500 mg daily) may be linked to increased risks, such as gastrointestinal problems, kidney stones, and potentially a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer, although most supplements meet high manufacturing standards and should be used as directed.]

This oat milk also contains tricalcium phosphate to replace the calcium found in dairy. Also, what helps you absorb CA in dairy? Vit D, fat, and phosphatase - not found in oat juice. CA-fortified drinks are generally "not equal" to milk for CA. See: https://t.co/OqnSh35Qzn

Too many people still believe there's no danger in taking dietary supplements because "it's only a vitamin or mineral" "The risk of advanced & fatal prostate cancer has been associated with calcium intakes from food or supplements in amounts >1500 mg/d" https://t.co/qFa9lMTB1X
