Is it true that calcium supplements cause high blood pressure?
Unclear. One large randomized trial in postmenopausal women found calcium plus vitamin D supplementation did not raise blood pressure or hypertension risk, and a review links low calcium intake, not supplementation, to higher blood pressure. Neither directly tests whether calcium supplements cause high blood pressure in the general population.
