RyanY. Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I've read too much calcium (Hypercalcemia) encourages Calcitonin secretion, which is linked in various studies to inhibiting GH. Is it possible too much calcium would stunt growth?

Revenged Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 but calcitonin would decrease calcium levels so you wouldn't have continual high calcitonin levels to inhibit GH significantly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 AFAIK, the source of calcium is important role in this too. Milk calcium has this affect, but not so much calcium from green leafy vegetables. I'm not sure why, perhaps something to do with the absorption rates. I'll try and find a source for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
