There is some evidence that calcium supplements can increase the risk of heart attacks. Calcium supplements are usually taken to treat or prevent bone disease, such as osteoporosis. A review of studies found that calcium supplements increased the risk of heart disease, particularly in healthy, postmenopausal women. But other studies have said calcium supplements don't increase the risk. More research is needed to know how calcium supplements affect a person's overall heart attack risk. What is known is that calcium from food sources, such as dairy products and leafy green vegetables, isn't a concern. Taking calcium — with vitamin D — does provide a benefit for those who have too little calcium or bone loss. Ask your doctor if a calcium supplement is right for you. • Heravi AS, et al.

Olga Shumitskaya / Getty Images Why You Need Vitamin D Vitamin D, also referred to as calciferol, is a fat-soluble vitamin (meaning one that is broken down by fat and oils in the gut). It is commonly referred to as the "sunshine vitamin" because the D3 type can be naturally produced in the body following exposure to the sun. • Vitamin D2 is naturally found in mushrooms, including shiitake, Portobello, and crimini mushrooms. The vitamin D content increases when these mushrooms are exposed to UV radiation. • Vitamin D3 is naturally found in animals and animal-derived products like milk. It is also directly synthesized in the skin when it is exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. Some studies suggest that vitamin D3 raises the vitamin D level in the bloodstream 87% more than vitamin D2. On the downside, vitamin D3 in supplements has historically been synthesized using lanolin derived from sheep's wool. This makes it unsuitable for those who choose to avoid animal-based products.
