Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Is the lemon part crucial or could I just put the powdered eggshell in a capsule and take it that way? Re: How to Make Calcium using Eggshells I remember my mother taking our fresh eggs and washing them and laying them whole in a dish and then squeezing fresh lemon juice over them until they were covered and letting them set in the frig until the shell was soft. She then removed the eggs and poured the calcium mix into a jar and would eat several spoonfuls a day of it. She said the lemon made the calcium more easy to absorb. I kind of like the dry method though.

Hi, the possible reason eggshells weren't a good thing is because of the type of eggs and whether the chickens were fed their natural diet including insects, worms, bugs, meats, etc., and whether they were trully " free-range " and not treated with vaccines or antibiotics and they were fed foods free of pesticides, etc. The chickens diet will affect the mineral content in the eggshells.

If I come across it in my files, I will post it and the vitamin C one. Nothing beats making it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC it was because the kind of calcium that is in egg shells interfers with stomach acid. --s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Can someone tell me if this is true: I was told long ago that the white rind of the lemon, orange etc. helped the Vitamin C go into your body but that the skin inhibited it. Right? Wrong?
