You can overdose on calcium supplements causing a condition called hypercalcemia.

I don't take vitamins or supplements, hoping the sun and the amount of fruits and vegetables and protein in my diet is adequate. Personally I think we eat a lot more than most folks I know of plant based foods. And people who sell supplements will say that the ground lacks the nutrients for the plants that they used to. I say hogwash. You are trying to sell supplements.

Our doctor checks our vitamin D levels.
