#ggshells present healthy, balanced calcium due to trace amounts of other minerals contained in it. #ggshell calcium is probably the best natural source of calcium, and it is easier for your body to digest and absorb. -utch researchers have reported recently a highly positive effect of eggshell calcium .with added magnesium and vitamin -/ on bone mineral density in a scientific study .double blind, placebo0controlled/. 1aboratory test and measures of bone density were carefully made in these studies. The eggshell supplemented group had measurable increases in bone density in their hip bones, after one year.

The ideal bone0building combination of eggshell calcium and vitamin -2 was also well documented in 3apanese studies. %esearchers at the 3apan ,omen4s $niversity, Tokyo studied a combination of vitamin -2 and eggshell powder in animals with osteoporosis. Not only was the eggshell powder with vitamin -2 able to improve bone mineral density, but it did it without significantly increasing blood calcium levels.

(ow much to take6

&ne whole medium sized eggshell makes about one teaspoon of powder, which yields about 789 0 :99 mgs of elemental; calcium plus other microelements, i.e. magnesium, boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, sulphur, silicon, zinc, etc. There are <7 elements in total. The composition of an eggshell is very similar to that of our bones and teeth.
;#lemental amounts are the amounts absorbable.
Most people re=uire a minimum of >99 mgs per day of calcium, in addition to calcium from other food sources, so you would take ?@< teaspoon of the powder per day. lso take >99 mgs of magnesium citrate at the same time. )alcium and magnesium need to be taken in at least e=ual amounts, and some people re=uire more magnesium than calcium depending upon how much they obtain from their diet.
!f you are getting muscle cramps take extra magnesium .about ?89 mgs/. !f that doesn4t alleviate the cramps within an hour take another ?89 mgs, and so on. !f you get unusual Aoint pain and you do not have arthritis, take an additional ?89 mgs of calcium. -o not take more than 899 mgs of calcium at one time because your body cannot handle it. !f you need more than >99 mgs per day split up the doses during the day.
!t is best to take calcium and magnesium with foods to help absorb them.

How to Make Powdered Eggshells:
?. ,ash empty eggshells in warm water until all of the egg white is removed, but do not remove the membrane because it contains important nutrients for the Aoints which helps arthritis. <. 1ay broken pieces out on paper towels and allow them to air dry thoroughly. 2. +reak the eggshells up into small pieces, and grind them to into a fine powder in a food processor, blender, coffee grinder, or a nut mill, or put them in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to grind them. Clease note that some blenders will not grind the eggshell into a fine enough powder. coffee grinder works the best.
>. *tore powdered eggshells in a covered glass Aar or container. Heep it in a dry place, like the kitchen cupboard. How to take eggshell calcium (this forms calcium citrate) takes 3 hours:

The first time ! heard of this, it was actualy given to me for my baby boy.

This is for a baby so the measurments are very small, could be measured on the tip of a knife / and mix with a drop or two of s=ueezed lemon. This is a home remody. lways ask your pediatrician first. (i +ea, ! think that this is brilliant. ! have been putting my dried eggshells into the over on an foil dish, so that when ! bake something they are heated. ! crush the shells after a couple of baking sessions .they are softer/ and use them in my compost heap. -o you know if heating affects the calcium content6 (i 3enny, ,e know that overheating or overcooking foods does affect the nutrients available, by lowering them and@or destroying them, so ! believe the same would be true for eggshells. !4ve only used Nair driedO eggshells to make calcium for myself.

,ould you please provide a reference to the information about calcium since !4ve never heard of that. !t doesn4t make sense that the body wouldn4t absorb minerals like calcium without them being such a high temperature. Minerals are found in many foods, including meats and eggs, and they are essential to health. )alcium and other minerals mainly need acid in order to be absorbed, i.e. lemon, vinegar, etc. and even taking minerals with vitamin ) helps. The best in health, +ee (i +ee, ! shall try and find that reference again . !4m pretty stressed at the moment with commitments, so haven4t time at the moment, especially since ! only have dial up which is very, very slow. !t may be the chemical reactions rather than the heat which breaks calcium down in our bodies 0 !4m not up on that sort of thing. 1ove the Rnourishedmagazine4 site. ! only wish that ! had more time to read more stuff. C* !f you are keen, !4m sure that you could find the reference site 0 only the first paragraph of the paper was in #nglish .!t was a scientific paper on line/. (i +ee, ! have hens and organic eggs. !4d always saved the shells, dried them on the rack over my stove, then put them in plastic bag and crushed them up with my rolling pin to give back to the hens to aid in their nutrients. Today after ! gave the hens the crushed shells, ! thought they might aid me with my calcium intake as well, so after a little search !4m happy to have found your blog. ! have a salad every day for lunch which, among other things, consists of baby spinach greens, raisins, chopped walnuts and sliced almonds, and !4m wondering how crushed@powdered egg shell will work sprinkled on top of the salad 0 and how much per day.

To answer Nancy4s S about the magnesiumM.the source ! use for that is organic black strap molasses. &n *aturday ! took about a tablespoon of powdered organic eggshells, put it in a glass and covered it with apple cider vinegar. 5ou should see it danceEEE The shells go up, then down, then up againM..anywayMso when that stops, which it seemed like about a hour, ! strained out the remaining shell granules and put the vinegar in a Aar to keep in the fridge. Then ! boiled some water and made a tea with a teaspoon of the vinegar and a teaspoon of the molasses. !t4s really goodEE ! know it may not be perfectly balanced .calcium v. magnesium/, but it4s the best ! could do, and strangely enough ! had a burst of energy afterwards, which was totally unexpected. ! used to have anemia, and ! know that molasses is a great source of iron, too, and a lot of other trace minerals, so !4m sticking to this and !4ll see what happens. purportedly highly assimilated form of magnesium is Ceter Billham4s product Natural )alm. !t is a powder that when hot water is added, you see foaming similar to that when you are processing your eggshells into assimilable calcium.

The problem is that mixing it with lemon Auice changes the volume, so it is easier when you know you take ?@< of the total mixture twice a day. !f you keep track of the teaspoons mixed you can divide the mixture into proper amounts. The mixture can dry out if it is kept for longer periods of time, so when mixing up a few days at a time it needs to be covered and refrigerated. !t will not go bad or lose potency. The eggshell doesn4t totally dissolve into the lemon Auice. !t is still gritty so it will not mix with li=uids because it will settle to the bottom. ! suggest you experiment by making one ? teaspoon at first. 5es, it is safe to give to dogs.

*hawn, if you4re going to the effort of drying your eggs, why don4t you save them up and when you4ve got a stack of dried egg shells grind them in a coffee grinder to create a powder. 5ou can then mix the powder with some ascorbic acid .the acidic form of vitamin )/ and take a teaspoon each day or mix into some water. Cut your eggshells in a bowl and crush them using the bottom of a cup or glass to break them up enough to fit in the coffee grinder, it then takes a few seconds to whiz them in the grinder. (i -an, had to pipe up with my two cents worth on the microwave, salmonella and stomach acid issue. First off, if you choose free range eggs, your risk of salmonella is pretty low .i4d say close to zero/. +ecause of the crowded conditions that cage hens are kept in their risk of infection is =uite high .hence the liberal use of antibiotics with them/. *almonella used to be a problem with chicken meat but has now become a big problem with their eggs as well. lso, your stomach acid offers pretty good protection from nasty critters entering your body along with your food. lthough you seem blessed with great digestion, many people suffer a lack of stomach acid 0 in fact low stomach acid is the most common reason for reflux and other digestive problems attributed to excess stomach acid. nyone on medication for reflux is at a greater risk of food bourne infection and poor mineral absorption. The microwave issue is a contentious one. There have been several studies that have shown that microwaving vegetables reduces the antioxidant nutrients they contain. The other huge problem with microwaving foods is the plastic containers used which have the potential to leach +C and other toxins into food as it heats. !t is not reccomended that baby4s bottles are heated in the microwave for this very reason. Mercola.com has some good articles on the hazards of microwaving that you can check out if you4re interested. warm regards *arah

free range egg shells, ! would like to note that as chickens get older, they seem to produce weaker shells. ! have some 2 year old hens, still laying .tho not every day like they used do/, and fairly often their eggshells are somewhat weak compared to when they were young.

!4m confused by this article because ! was always taught that egg shells are calcium carbonate .bone meal is calcium phosphate/ and in order for any mammal .not Aust humans/ to utilize and absorb calcium, phosphorous must be present and supplimented.

there is now < companies ! found selling eggshell calcium with magnesium and vitamin -. *omewhere in all my googling around one thing ! read is that magnesium doesn4t help calcium absorption, you might want to check on that one too.

K- Thx and Bod bless you guysE (elloEthank you for the useful and interesting knowledge.! use to produce crab0shell powder to take the calcium0salts that are contained within it to use it as anticancer agent for a dear relative of mine that suffered from the disease.! made the powder using a cofee grinding device.! found in bibliography that in order for a particle to be absorbed by the intestinal mucosa ,its diameter must be within the range 899 nm to 89 nm.! suppose the fact that the egg0shell calcium manufactured the way you describe it, is absorbed by the organism then the coffee grinding device is producing particles within the range mentioned above.Clease confirm. lso the electric charge distribution and nature of it .positive@ negative/ of the produced particles may be help or impede the absorption.! need your opinionEBreetings ! want to know egg shell powder can be given to animals buffaloes,cows etc as a dietary feed supplement or not. rticle is the best one T i was searching same for about six months ! don4t think coffee grinders can grind to the small size you mentioned. ! used the small electric ones commonly sold and the eggshell was real gritty even as a fine powder. ! abandoned the egg shell idea for the reason that !4m I? and people in my age range don4t have good stomach acid plus ! have a real sensitive colon pouring NsandO into my colon that may not digest well seemed like a recipe for disaster. ! am using %ainbow 1ight4s food based calcium tablets instead, they get good reviews, aren4t gritty like my homemade eggshell powder, so its safer for me. The acid@lemon Auice idea is a much better idea in my opinion but ! don4t tolerate acidic solutions well, though some apple cider vinegar is ok for me, maybe !4ll soak my powder in some, but then you don4t know how much you are actually absorbingJ taking too much calcium is not a good idea, with the tablets at least ! know exactly how much !4m usingM.. (i +ee, !4m trying to build my bones@teeth@tooth enamel, !4m wondering whether the lemon Auice will not dissolve the tooth enamel.

get oats only and have access to sand. They roam acres and eat grasses, flowers, bugs and all sort of things ! wouldn4t put in my mouth. ! am curious if anyone knows if when they start laying eggs 0 whether the shells get thicker over time6 ,e are raising organic eggs because our dogs are allergic to a wide range of things including )orn, lfalfa, one is allergic to +eef, )hicken, turkey, etc. .which typically eat corn and alfalfa/, Their protein source is fish but ! like giving them eggs scrambled with olive oil 0 they seem to really like it. &nce the hens actually produce better eggs, we will start giving them the eggs and using the shell for calcium. ! have to mention something pretty interesting 0 when we were purchasing Norganic 0 free rangeO eggs at the grocery store, ! believed they were exactly that. &nce ! opened the cardboard carton at home 0 on the inside there was a note that their Nfree rangeO chickens were free in the barn 0 hmmm, that seems like a bit of a lie on the package. *o if there4s say a thousand Aammed into a small barn, ! guess they would still consider that free range and healthy organic chickens. Needless to say, that was exactly what drove me to getting our own chickens because at [8.LL for ?< little eggs with that title, ! would rather know what ours eat and the fact that they are really roaming and eating grasses. ,e have four hens and ! am guessing we will have more eggs than we can consume. +efore all the salmonella scare, ! would have gladly given any extra eggs to neighbors, now to protect us ! am thinking ! will Aust put them in the compost pile.
