Can eating more calcium tablets lead to stones?
Hello, the main reason for the formation of stones is that too much calcium oxalate is accumulated in the body by combining oxalic acid with calcium, and there are similar reports that people who take calcium supplements are more likely to become high-risk groups in kidney calculi than those who don't. However, it should be noted that whether taking calcium tablets is related to the formation of stones is still controversial. At present, there are only epidemiological statistical reports, and there is no formal clinical experiment proof.

But one thing is certain: if you eat more calcium in your diet, such as milk, you will not get kidney calculi easily. Therefore, we suggest that you try to choose fresh food as the main source of calcium, such as milk, yogurt (milk), dairy products, cheese, ice cream and so on.

If you must eat calcium tablets to supplement calcium, it is recommended to avoid eating them with foods containing oxalic acid, generally speaking, celery, spinach, coriander, mustard, leek, green pepper, eggplant, cabbage, blueberry, red grapes, raisins, oranges, fruit cakes, nuts and their sauce products (such as peanut butter), tofu, strawberries, sweet potatoes, tea, chocolate, cocoa, draft beer, etc.
