Ingesting too much can increase calcium blood levels beyond optimal, and the risk is higher when sourced from calcium carbonate as it can make the levels rise faster.
Elevated calcium blood levels from eating too many Tums can cause a condition called ‘hypercalcemia.” Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and digestion issues.
Additionally, severe hypercalcemia may cause confusion and other neurological symptoms. Research has even suggested a link to a higher risk of developing dementia.
