After 6 years on calcium tablets, which triggered acid reflux, I have stopped taking them and I am trying hard to increase my calcium intake through diet. This is difficult as I am allergic to dairy but use goat milk products instead which I tolerate better. My question is has anyone tried egg shell powder or crushed eggshells as I have read that they are a very effective source of calcium?
I understand they need boiling for at least 10 minutes then baking for a further 20 minutes before crushing but half an eggshell or one teaspoon provides enough calcium for an average adult daily requirement. Apparently studies show eggshell calcium is well absorbed and may strengthen bones in osteoporosis. Sounds marvellous doesn’t it but I would like to hear others opinions on this before trying it as I haven’t heard any mention of this before.
I am now having Evenity (romosozumab) injections every month and trying hard to help my poor bones as best I can through diet and exercise although other health issues are making this quite difficult at the moment.
