According to a panel of experts during the second annual Advances and Controversies in Clinical Nutrition conference hosted by the American Society for Nutrition (ASN), Bethesda, MD, little scientific evidence exists linking calcium supplementation with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The panel, “Calcium Supplementation and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease,” sponsored by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), Washington, D.C., explored the benefits and risks of calcium supplementation. Additionally, the panel reviewed the latest information on calcium supplementation from published studies and the recent statement issued by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. The panelists included Stephen Kopecky, M.D., Division of Cardiovascular Diseases, Mayo Clinic; Connie Weaver, Ph.D., department head of Foods & Nutrition, Purdue University; and was moderated by Richard Kahn, Ph.D., ASN.
“It is important to listen to the perspectives of these expert panelists as they represent the strong scientific evidence supporting the benefits of calcium in promoting bone health, and they reinforce the safety assurance consumers should have in taking a calcium supplement,” said Taylor Wallace, Ph.D., senior director, Scientific and Regulatory Affairs, CRN.
