Anyone know much about Calcium supplements?

So I am kinda of on experimental dosing currently. The immediate worry is that post surgery the parathyroids can be stunned a bit. I am having serum levels drawn for calcium and albumin next mon or tues.

I am currently on 500mg on calcium carbonate 2 tablets at 3 times a day. I was to also get D3 that goes along with the calcium but could not find a 5mcg dose or 200IU so I am taking double. Since d3 is fat soluable any chance I can show toxcity in the short term at 2400 IU a day?

I am also taking calcitriol at .25 mcg twice a day.

This is all supposed to be temporary over the next few weeks.

I am Italian so milk and cheese I grew up on but for dietary and intolorance reasons I really have cut back on dairy a big bunch over the last year.

Found that 2400 IU a day still below threshold of max

Can it really get worse? I heard it does the opposite. So much information out there what should we all believe?
