Calcium supplements to manage cholesterol

Clinical Associate Professor Tan Swee Yaw:
There have been studies that show that consumption of calcium supplements do increase coronary deposits in the coronary arteries. Whether or not it affects one’s situation, it is difficult to say and we need more studies to find out. If your orthopaedic surgeon says that you have osteoporosis, please continue to take your calcium supplements because they are necessary for you. Especially for ladies, to prevent osteoporosis. However, if it is not necessary for you to take supplements and no doctor has prescribed you, don’t just seek it out. It is best to get all these supplements naturally, example from fresh milk. The natural ways of getting these supplements are always better, rather than processed chemicals or drugs.
