See online that calcium supplementation can cause kidney stones. So giving calcium to my son now will cause kidney stones in the future?

    Calcium supplementation (including eating habits like spinach and tofu) is not the cause of stones, and people with urinary stones can also reasonably supplement calcium. However, patients with kidney stones should pay attention not to drink milk or calcium tablets before bedtime. It is best to supplement calcium during the day. Because the amount of urine decreases after sleep, the calcium in the urine will suddenly increase in 2 to 3 hours after drinking milk, and it is easy to cause recurrence of kidney stones.
