Yeah. It seems that the indication for calcium supplementation is becoming more and more limited. For example, studies over the past 5 years have indicated negative effects of calcium supplementation on arterial health as well as a questioning of its use in osteoporosis.
I have never supplemented with calcium on its own, yet have (at times) registered hypercalcemia on blood tests at times which correlated with particularly crappy moods.
As for multivitamins, I tend to chose ones with lower (or no) calcium. I also only use multivitamins intermittently. I seem to benefit from a multivitamin once or twice a week. After this, my mood becomes more sour.
I have been revising SAM-e lately. Again, periodic supplementation appears to help.
