      Looks like the bone weakness comes from the calcium being pulled from the bones into the bloodstream. I would suspect that ODing on Ca wouldn’t cause that symptom

        I’m not an expert on this subject, but from what I heard is that with too much calcium the balance is off between the protein collagen and minerals. Usually with bone brittleness there’s a lack of collagen, causing bones to be prone to shattering which is called osteoporosis.

        I don’t know what happens when you have too much calcium and too much collagen. But I doubt you will get super bones. I am quite sure it will be extra hard for some of your organs.

          Too much calcium can be a variety of issues. Muscle cramps, confusion, kidney stones etc
