Can too much calcium cause poisoning?

Patient's question:

Hello, can eating too much calcium cause poisoning? Are there any good methods for treating it? I'm very worried right now. Please give me some advice from a doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Infants and young children promote calcium absorption, divided into 1 to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, and then over one week. Unless taken excessively, almost all calcium exists in the plasma, so blood calcium mainly refers to plasma calcium. Under the regulation and control of various factors in the body, blood calcium concentration is relatively stable. Only ionized calcium in plasma directly plays a physiological role. Undiffusible calcium in plasma, although it has no direct physiological effect, is in a dynamic balance with ionized calcium and is affected by blood pH.
