How to Make Calcium using Eggshells

Eggshell calcium produces healthy, balanced calcium due to trace

amounts of other minerals contained in it. Eggshell calcium is

probably the best natural source of calcium, and it is easier for

your body to digest and absorb. And it is extremely inexpensive!

Dutch researchers have reported recently a highly positive effect of

eggshell calcium (with added magnesium and vitamin D) on bone mineral

density in a scientific study (double blind, placebo-controlled).

Laboratory 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 bone-building combination of eggshell calcium and vitamin

D3 was also well documented in Japanese studies. Researchers at the

Japan Women's University, Yokyo studied a combination of vitamin D3

and eggshell powder in animals with osteoporosis. Not only was the

eggshell powder with vitamin D3 able to improve bone mineral density,

but it did it without significantly increasing blood calcium levels.

You can use any kind of egg (chicken, goose, duck), but it is best to

use organic or certified organic eggs from free-range birds. If you

do not want to make it yourself see if you can buy pure powdered

eggshells at a pet store. There is a product called Eggshellent

Calcium available at www.mypetsfriend.com - under products. You can

email them to order at: info@... or call Pet's Friend at

800-868-1009. They are located in Tamarac, Florida in the US so the

800 number might not work from other countries.

There are a couple methods you can use to make calcium from

eggshells, depending upon what you prefer. It is easier to measure

out the correct amounts if you make the powder.

If you use the powder you would mix it in about 2 ounces of water

with the juice of 1/4 a lemon and a pinch of ocean sea salt, because

it can only be absorbed if is taken with acid.

If you make the calcium using lemon juice it is easier to determine

how much to take if you keep track of how many eggs you use for each

batch, or make each egg separately and store it in baby food jars in

the fridge. If you use several eggshells at a time write down how

many you used so you can figure out how much to take that would equal

1/2 of the shell.

How much to take?

One whole large sized eggshell makes about one teaspoon of powder,

which yields about 750 - 800 mgs of elemental calcium plus other

microelements, i.e. magnesium, boron, copper, iron, manganese,

molybdenum, sulphur, silicon, zinc, etc. There are 27 elements in

total. The composition of an eggshell is very similar to that of our

bones and teeth.

Most people require 400 mgs per day of calcium, in addition to other

food sources, so you would take 1/2 teaspoon of the powder. Take 400

mgs of magnesium citrate at the same time. And don't forget, you must

take vitamin D in order to absorb minerals, so take your cod liver

oil in the winter and get into the sun in the summer!

If you use the Eggshell & Lemon Juice Melt, since 1 eggshell produces

about 1 teaspoon of powder, take 1/2 of the mixture of one eggshell

melt per day. To take it you can mix it in 2 ounces of water with a

pinch of sea salt.

Method 1 - Powdered Eggshell

- Wash empty eggshells in warm water until all of the egg white is

removed.

- Lay broken pieces out on paper towels and allow them to air dry.

- When they are completely dry grind them to 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.

- Store it in a glass jar with a cover. Keep in a dry place, like

your kitchen cupboard.

Method 2 - Lemon Juice & Eggshell Melt – This makes a version of

calcium citrate.

- Wash an empty eggshell in warm water until all of the egg white is

removed.

- Lay broken pieces out on paper towels and allow them to air dry.

- When they are completely dry grind them to a fine powder in a food

processor, blender, coffee grinder or nut mill, or put them in a

plastic bag and use a rolling pin to grind them.

- Put the powder in a small jar (a baby jar is perfect for this) and

cover it with freshly squeezed lemon juice from fresh lemons (old

lemons do not work as well).

- Cover and put it in the fridge for 2 days; shake it a couple of

times a day. It may bubble but that is okay.

- Strain it.

Enjoy!

When I was pregnant with my first child, and had little money, I used to put

eggshells in the blender with yeast and other things...wow.
