  Too much calcium brittle bones, among other issues. It’s called Hypercalcemia

    Ah, so not cheating. Extra challenge.

    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

  Would NeverBrokeABone consider using this stuff cheating? 🤔

  As far as I can tell, that community talked a big game about the dietary reasons why their bones might be strong but were generally inactive people who never pushed their bodies (and bones) anywhere close to their limits.
