Dr. Lin Yunfei
Calcium supplementation is generally acceptable. Bone calcification is associated with calcium deficiency in the human body; however, poor calcium absorption—even with supplementation—may increase the risk of kidney and cardiovascular diseases. During calcium supplementation, adding vitamin D significantly enhances calcium absorption and utilization. If any discomfort occurs, it is advisable to visit a hospital for a comprehensive evaluation. Patients are also advised to ensure adequate rest.
