Proven Benefits At A Glance:

• Extremely high calcium intake (4x the recommended amount) combined with excessive vitamin D can contribute to kidney stone formation in infants
• This risk is documented in medical literature, though cases are rare
• The source that caused the problem (high-calcium mineral water) was discontinued before treatment

🛡️ Safety rating

Safety tier is a starting heuristic from regulatory status and comedogenic rating, not a dermatological verdict — see our Terms for the full disclaimer. Research confidence reflects how many real cited studies back this ingredient, not the strength of their findings.

🔬 The Science

A 2000 peer-reviewed case report documents a serious complication related to high calcium intake in an infant. The child developed a staghorn lithiasis—a large branching kidney stone that extends into multiple parts of the kidney. The calcium intake reached 1,750 mg daily, which was four times the recommended amount for that age group, due to exclusive use of Hépar mineral water. The infant was also given excessive vitamin D supplementation (1,480 U/day) during this period. #1: The combination of extremely high calcium intake and high-dose vitamin D appeared to favor kidney stone formation (Peer-reviewed journal, 2000). The case required surgical intervention including stone removal and multiple lithotripsy procedures (a technique that breaks up stones).

#2: Once the high-calcium mineral water was discontinued one month before hospital admission, blood tests normalized, suggesting the body’s calcium regulation recovered (Peer-reviewed journal, 2000). The authors emphasize this is a rare complication but stress ‘the danger of the exclusive use of high-calcium mineral water,’ particularly when combined with excessive vitamin D. This is a single case report rather than a broad study, so it illustrates a possible risk rather than proving how common it is.
