My brother bought us bottles of vitamins and other supplements Vitamins C, Vitamin B, Iron and Calcium supplement. I take the calcium lactate because I read in the internet it's good for insomnia as it has tryptophan that helps in producing sleep inducing melatonin. Now I worry if calcium supplements can cause kidney stones as it seems to me kidney stones are made from calcium mineral. I take it every night will I have kidney stones in the future?

I think you need to check with your doctor. No-one else can really advise you.

I often go to a psychiatrist. I don't think he can help. I will just go to the local health center here

I would eat fruits and veggies that contain these vitamins. The only supplement that I take is magnesium. It relaxes my nerves when I am so tired from work.

I don't think so. I think you should ask a Doctor about it.
