It has been suggested that supplemental dietary calcium decreases hyperproliferation of colonic epithelial cells because calcium precipitates and thus inactivates luminal bile acids. Therefore, 12 healthy men were studied before and after dietary calcium supplementation (35.5 mmol/day) to quantify intestinal associations of calcium, phosphate, and bile acids. The supplemental dietary calcium was almost completely (95%) recovered, mainly in feces. Calcium increased the fecal excretion of both phosphate (31%) and bile acids (53%) and decreased the ratio of dihydroxy to trihydroxy bile acids in duodenal bile almost twofold. In vitro studies showed that precipitation of glycodeoxycholic acid was caused by the formation of insoluble calcium phosphate. Water-soluble and calcium-associated amounts of phosphate and bile acids in feces were measured by resolubilization studies, using the calcium chelator ethylenediaminetetraacetate. In both the control and calcium periods, significant amounts of phosphate (80% and 90%) and bile acids (33% and 50%) were calcium-associated. Moreover, the calcium-induced increments in fecal phosphate and bile acids were completely calcium-associated. Calcium decreased the amount of water-soluble phosphate but not of bile acids. These results indicate that supplemental calcium stimulates formation of insoluble calcium phosphate in the intestinal lumen and thus increases binding of luminal bile acids.
