    Although calcium-rich foods help prevent kidney stones, you should be careful when taking calcium supplements. Studies have found that taking calcium supplements may increase the risk of kidney stones by 20%, while ingesting calcium in natural foods will reduce the risk of kidney stones by about a third.
