Can too much calcium cause leg cramps?

Yes, I believe it can. I was on extreme amounts of calcium (8000 mg/day plus 2 mcg of Calcium/Vitamin D supplement) due to damage to my parathyroids.

This hormone plays a crucial role in maintaining calcium homeostasis in the body.


If calcium levels drop too low what secretes hormones?

When calcium levels drop too low, the parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH acts to increase calcium levels in the blood by stimulating the release of calcium from bones, increasing calcium reabsorption in the kidneys, and promoting the activation of vitamin D to enhance intestinal absorption of calcium. This hormonal response is crucial for maintaining calcium homeostasis in the body.
