These Supplements Appear To Raise Heart Attack Risk...
Dear Reader,
A word of caution when it comes to calcium supplements. Swiss researchers are warning that these supplements should be used "with caution" as they might also up the risk of heart attack. The increase is considered moderate according to the team, led by Sabine Rohrmann, PhD, an assistant professor of chronic disease epidemiology from the University of Zurich. The study appears in the journal Heart along with an accompanying editorial.
The research followed just about 24,000 subjects, both men and women, for a total of 11 years. The subjects completed food surveys and were interviewed to find out about any vitamin or mineral supplementation.
When the study started, most subjects were in their early 50s. During the follow up period, there were 260 strokes and 267 deaths from heart disease. It's important to understand that the study was not initially designed to measure cardiovascular events, so those with such risk factors weren't distributed evenly across all the study groups.
Also of note were the cholesterol numbers of the calcium supplement-taking group when the study began. This group also contained more smokers.
The research showed no link between total dietary calcium and risk of stroke and no link between total dietary calcium and heart disease deaths. But the team did see that a higher intake of dietary calcium brought down the risk of heart attack - a 31% lower risk of heart attack compared to those who took in the least amounts of calcium from what they ate.
When it comes to supplements of calcium, things changed. Those who took supplements of calcium had an 86% higher risk of heart attack when compared to the subjects who had never used such supplements. The actual number of heart attacks during the study period was not all that large, 354 were recorded.
The research found a link between using calcium supplements and having a heart attack. This is not cause an effect - the supplements do not cause a heart attack. As you might expect, the supplement industry has an issue with the findings.

These Supplements Appear To Raise Heart Attack Risk... Continued...
They feel that the study doesn't fit with the total body of science, and it is
true that over the years, research on calcium and the health of the heart have
brought mixed results. Some earlier work has found that calcium from diet may
bring down the risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart
disease, as well as obesity. Yet other work hasn't shown these effects.
As to the concern over calcium supplements and heart attack, two recent bits
of research, appearing in both 2010 and 2011 have brought warnings that calcium
supplements have something to do with increased heart attack risk.
Experts tell us that food sources of nutrients are always the best choice. You
should fill the gap with supplements, not rely on them. Choose a calcium rich
food source over a pill as often as you can and you can't go wrong. And then
there's this... supplements taken once or twice a day is not a natural pattern,
and isn't likely to reproduce the same metabolic affect as does the calcium ingested
naturally as part of a food.
The trouble is, according to Taylor Wallace, PhD, the senior director of scientific
and regulatory affairs at the Council for Responsible Nutrition, most American
don't get enough calcium in the diet naturally. Your best bet, especially for
women after menopause, is to talk about your calcium intake with your own doctor.
It appears that taking a calcium supplement on your own, because you think you
should, might not be the safest way to go. And there are other effective ways
to build and protect your bones.
The Institute of Medicine has recommendations for daily calcium intake that are
a helpful guideline. Women (19-50) and men (19-70) should get 1,000 milligrams
daily. Women over 51 and men over 70 should get 1,200 milligrams a day. As a
point of reference an 8 ounce glass of milk brings you 300 milligrams of calcium.
To your good health,
