How much calcium to take?
The shell of one medium-sized egg will make about 1 tsp. powder, which is equal to 700-800 mg of calcium. The daily dose for most people is 400 mg, i.e.1/2 tsp each in a day. For pregnant women, the dose is doubled, for children, it is halved. It is advisable to divide the intake of the powder into 2 stages of 1/4 tsp each, because the body absorbs no more than 500 mg at a time.
But there are no standards for the use of calcium. If you drink a glass of raw milk or consume canned sardines, soup, or bone broth, then the dose can be significantly reduced. Adjust your supplemental calcium intake according to the food you eat throughout the day. Perhaps one day it may not be needed at all.
When to take calcium?

They are found in liver, coconut and butter, fermented cod oil and other foods. Do not forget about vitamin C, it also improves the absorption of calcium.

Ingredients:
Raw eggs - any quantity
Step-by-step preparation of eggshell powder:
1. They say that the shells of birds that live in the wild are most useful, but in our modern life we most often use chicken shells. Therefore, take raw chicken eggs, wash them well with warm running water and rub with an iron brush to remove all the dirt. Gently break the egg and drain the contents: white and yolk.
2. Wash the shell again under running water. Remove the thin white film from the inside. It can be removed very easily. It will be enough just to pry it off, pull it and it will come off. Spread the shells out and leave to dry completely for about 3 hours. You can dry it in the sun, fresh air, tray, towel.
Note: if the eggs are purchased, and not homemade, then dip the shells in boiling water for a few minutes and only then dry them. This way, you protect yourself from salmonella and kill bacteria.
3. Collect the shells in a similar way, from at least 10 eggs.
4. When you have the right amount of it, take the grinder and place some of the shells in it. You can break it a little into smaller pieces.
5. Grind the shells to a fine powder.
6. From the grinder, transfer the powder to a convenient storage container or jar and reload the next portion of the shells into its bowl. Continue this process with all other eggs.
Note: if there is no coffee grinder, then you can grind eggs using a mortar, rolling pin, blender.
Crushed shells can be added to ready-made dishes, dissolved in lemon juice (calcium is better absorbed with lemon juice), added to salads, soups, etc.
