I would say it is probably not unsafe to take them, in fact, I highly doubt that Calcium would ever go bad (Calcium Carbonate is basically chalk). According to FDA standards, the expiration date is the point at which 90% of the medication still remains- meaning if anything, it will be less effective than it would have been.But really, some new calcium supplements should cost $2.00- just take generic tums (Calcium Carbonate). Look for them in the antacid section!
