Taking calcium supplements causes weight gain in adults.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that taking calcium supplements causes weight gain in adults?

Unclear. Two studies bear on the claim and both point against it: a meta-analysis of randomized trials found no significant effect of calcium supplementation on weight in healthy children, and one trial in obese women found calcium did not influence body weight or fat loss. Neither covers adults generally, so the evidence only partially addresses the claim.
