How to drink egg shells for calcium dosage. How to Make Eggshell Powder: Natural Calcium Source

Everyone knows that we need calcium for bones and teeth. But the role of calcium does not end there. We need calcium for good blood clotting, for nerve signal transmission, for muscle contractions, and for regulating heart rate.
Our body does not produce calcium on its own. And we lose it every day - with skin cells, with nails, hair, sweat, urine, etc. With a deficiency - calcium is taken from the bones of the body.
There are many food sources of calcium for our body.
But today I want to focus on the eggshell.
Why eggshell?
Eggshell is one of the best natural sources of calcium.
Eggshell is mostly calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is also found in oyster shells and animal bones. But the mentioned (last two) sources of calcium carbonate lose out to eggshells, as they usually contain more heavy metals. And the calcium contained in the eggshell is one of the the best forms calcium after milk. I want to say right away that if you think that you will get all the calcium with milk, then the quality of the milk should be taken into account and you need to: , don't even expect any decent vitamin and mineral content (b) to avoid commercially produced milk without fail. We need calcium to absorb butterfat. In the process of milk metabolism, one molecule of fat "sticks" to 2 molecules of calcium. As a result, you can even harm yourself, since calcium will be sucked out of reserves (bones, nails, teeth) only in order to assimilate this milk.
(Please do not confuse commercially produced milk with homemade unpasteurized milk (which I enjoy drinking every day) - there is a completely different story.)
In general, I always pay attention not just to the amount of a vitamin that is indicated on the label, but to how effectively my body can absorb it. Many foods now add calcium, but this does not mean at all that your body will receive any benefit from it (more on the bioavailability of vitamins can be found here “These vitamins are dangerous for your health”). The eggshell contains a balanced calcium, closer to the microchemistry of our body, so it is absorbed and absorbed more easily and better.
In addition to calcium, eggshells will contain as much as about 30! other minerals (magnesium, copper, boron, silicon, manganese, iron, zinc and others.)
So, for the preparation of natural healthy and bioavailable calcium, we need just an ordinary eggshell. Eggs can be of any bird, the main thing is that they be as homemade, natural, organic, cage-free as possible, it is desirable that their food be organic, without soy and GMOs. The better the bird's food was, the more useful things will be in the eggshell.
How to make calcium from eggshells (watch the video or read the text for more details and details)



1. Rinse shell under water. We leave the white film (!) - it also has a lot of useful substances.
2. Next boil shells in water for 5-10 minutes. This kills bacteria.
3. dry. In the sun, in the fresh air, on a tray, on a towel - it doesn't matter.

4. grind as small as possible! in a coffee grinder, blender, food processor, etc. Of all the possible devices, I still recommend using a coffee grinder - it grinds very finely. First, the shell should be broken a little with your hands, and then grind.

I don't have a coffee grinder (blender, combine)
It's okay, this is not the only way to grind the shell. You can put it in a plastic bag and crush it with a rolling pin. The powder will accumulate at the bottom of the bag.
To make it convenient to take, I make calcium capsules.

I take these capsules on iherb - the size is good, they are easy to swallow.

I leave the other part of the crushed shell in a powder state - you can use it for face and body scrubs, mixed with oils.

How much calcium to take?
Shell of 1 medium egg = about 1 tsp. powder = 700-800 mg of calcium.
Most people need about 400 mg of calcium per day.
That is about 1/2 teaspoon per day. But the intake should be divided into 2 parts of 1/4 tsp, since at a time our body is able to absorb no more than 500 mg of calcium at a time.
For pregnant women, the dose is twice as much, for children - half as much.
And here again there is no standardized data, it all depends on your diet !!! If you drink a couple of glasses during the day raw milk or eat canned sardines, soups and traditional bone broths, your doses will be significantly lower. Depending on what you eat during the day, additional calcium may not be needed at all. So first of all, listen to your body!

When to take calcium?
It should be taken with food and in the morning for better absorption. And remember, calcium is best absorbed with vitamins D and A, which are found in coconut oil, liver, fermented cod oil, butter, and other foods.
And do not forget about vitamin C, it also significantly improves the absorption of calcium.
Calcium citrate is better suited for those who have some kind of inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract or some other imbalance that blocks the absorption of calcium. The advantage of calcium citrate is that it does not have to be taken with food, as it is better absorbed anyway.

How to make calcium citrate?

The principle is simple - take lemon juice(acid) dissolve calcium from the shell.
Option 1
1. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of crushed eggshell with freshly squeezed (! necessarily fresh, otherwise the reaction may not work) juice of half a lemon.
The mixture will begin to bubble.
2. Leave the mixture at room temperature for 6 - 12 hours (but not more than 12).
Take 1/2 - one teaspoon with water.
Option 2
1. Soak completely one clean whole raw homemade egg in freshly squeezed lemon juice. Preferably in a glass container.
2. Cover lightly and refrigerate for 48 hours. Shake the container several times a day until bubbles form.
3. Remove the egg after about 48 hours, when the mixture stops bubbling.
Take 1/2 teaspoon (and a little more) once a day.
Option 3
1. Soak 3 clean whole raw eggs in freshly squeezed lemon juice completely. It is best to use a glass jar with a lid.
2. Tighten the lid of the jar tightly and refrigerate for 48 hours. Shake the container several times a day until bubbles form.
3. Once the mixture stops bubbling, remove the eggs. You will need to take it out very carefully. Eggs can even be eaten.
Liquid, i.e. the resulting calcium citrate, take 1/2 - 1 teaspoon per day. Start with a small dose and gradually increase.
Option 4 - for the very lazy
1. Take 1/2 teaspoon of our crushed eggshell powder
2. Add 2-3 drops of lemon juice and swallow. Everything
Option 5 - for the very - very lazy :) or urban - take ready-made calcium citrate on iherb
My personal choice falls on Solgar Calcium Citrate - I just trust them very much.
Magnesium should be taken along with calcium at the same time. Proportion 1:1 or 2:1. Why and why - I'll tell you next time.

For example, combine useful with useful and take eggshells as a source of calcium.

Calcium in the eggshell is contained in the natural state that is best absorbed by the human body.

Why take eggshells? The composition and benefits of egg shells
The shell of an egg is its "armor", protecting the precious contents from external threats. The infinite wisdom of nature has made the shell strong on the outside and fragile on the inside, so that at the right time the chicken hatches from the egg without any problems. This apparent fragility and genuine resilience was noticed even by our distant ancestors, who endowed eggs sacred meaning and tried to borrow its strength by taking the eggshell with food, adding it to drinks and drugs. Today, thanks to the achievements of science, one could easily do without this "obscurantism" and take pharmaceutical calcium preparations. However, modern people continue to take eggshells. Why?
How to take calcium from eggshell? Egg shell preparation
No one wants to chew on an eggshell - and if they suddenly tried, it would do their teeth more harm than good. In order for calcium to be absorbed and benefited from the inside, it must be taken in a prepared form. Therefore, the eggshell is crushed and powder is prepared from it, which does not change the chemical properties, but makes it edible if the shell powder is prepared correctly:
From the shell of one chicken egg grade 1-2, about 1 teaspoon of powder is obtained containing at least 700 mg of calcium. From larger duck and goose eggs, the yield of powder is, of course, different, not to mention the giant ostrich egg. But it is better to limit yourself to chicken and / or quail eggs, because salmonella is much more common on all others.

For children from 1 year old to school, half of this dose, that is, 200 mg of calcium per day, is sufficient. Nutritional disorders and / or malfunctions in the body require an individual approach. Here are the most common indications and instructions for using eggshell calcium powder:

Although there are bright thoughts in these books. For example, information that it is desirable to take eggshells in the morning, if there are no other specific instructions, and combine it in the diet with butter, cod liver, coconut and / or other vegetable fats. The latest laboratory studies have confirmed and explained these rules: it's all about vitamins D and A, which improve calcium metabolism in the body. All this proves once again how closely the methods are intertwined. traditional medicine With modern science, and that eggshells as a source of calcium are valued for good reason. Take eggshells correctly and be healthy!
