Is the human Calcium spplements compatable for Geckos?

I figure the calcium is the same, but can you use a calcium supplement that's produced for humans to supplement the calcium for your geckos?

A Tums, for example, is still just calcium carbonate.. plus flavors, addatives, and colors.

It's the same thing, although I'm not sure it it's a good thing because of a change in dosing or whatever. But if you don't always dust then the extra calcium should just flush out of the system, assuming it's the same for them as it is in humans.
