🌿 How Some People Prepare Eggshell Powder
For those interested in natural approaches, eggshell powder is sometimes used as a calcium source. If prepared incorrectly, however, it can pose health risks due to bacteria.
A safer preparation method typically includes:
-
Thoroughly washing the eggshells
-
Boiling them for at least 10 minutes
-
Allowing them to dry completely
-
Grinding into a very fine powder
⚠️ Important: Homemade preparations should be used cautiously. Excess calcium intake can cause health issues. Always consult a healthcare provider before adding new supplements to your routine.
