Introduction
Eggshells are a natural source of calcium and have been used in traditional home remedies for many years. Calcium is an essential mineral that supports strong bones, healthy teeth, and normal muscle function. While eggshells do not restore collagen in the knees and should not be considered a cure for joint conditions, properly prepared eggshell powder can be used as a dietary calcium supplement when consumed safely and in moderation.
Ingredients
4 to 6 clean eggshells
2 cups water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
1 glass filtered water for serving
Instructions
Wash the eggshells thoroughly.
Boil the eggshells in water for 10 minutes to help sanitize them.
Drain and allow them to dry completely.
Bake the shells at a low temperature for 10–15 minutes if desired.
Grind the dried shells into a very fine powder using a blender or coffee grinder.
Store the powder in an airtight container.
Mix a small amount of eggshell powder into water with lemon juice before consuming.
