OH! I remember this from college!
You cannot take in too much calcium because your body will just throw it off. You bod will only absorb so much and then the rest is passed thru your urine.
This is why you see so many calcium compounds, they help your body absorb more, not much more, but a little bit more!
One of the best ways to keep the calcium in your body is to avoid carbonated drinks - they just blanch the calcium right out of your bones
