calcium intake

hi fellow fitnesspals, im a bit concerned about how much milk im consuming. i usually go double over my reco daily intake.
all i drink is soy. wondering if anyone knows anything about over consuming and possible health concerns with a diet high in calcium. i really hope it doesnt because this has been my weapon to suppress hunger pangs and helps fight those mid afternoon cravings.
any thoughts appreciated:wink

  • I would ask your dr to be sure, but I know that as women cause we are more prone to ostoperosis(sp) we need higher levels of calcium. I blow mine out of the water everyday...haven't had any issues yet
  • 2500milligrams would constitute an overdose, but would need to be maintained daily to see any adverse symptoms. These would probably be any of the following

    Constipation
    The squitts - hehe
    Headaches
    Confusion
    Coma - very unlikely!
