RiskMedium Risk
Overview
•1000 mg coral calcium daily may approach or exceed needs when diet provides calcium, raising hypercalcemia risk above 2000-2500 mg total intake.
•Gastrointestinal effects such as constipation, abdominal pain, or nausea reported with calcium carbonate forms at 1000 mg doses.
•Possible increased kidney stone risk with supplemental calcium without adequate hydration or dietary context.
•Limited long-term data on coral calcium specifically; one small 4-week study showed no adverse effects at varying doses.
•Evidence on cardiovascular effects mixed; some meta-analyses note potential 10-20% MI risk increase with calcium supplements.
