Preheat your oven to 200°F (90°C).
Spread the dried eggshells on a baking sheet and bake them for 10-15 minutes. This step ensures that the shells are completely dry and easy to grind.
Grind Into a Fine Powder
You can use a high-powered blender, a spice grinder, or even a mortar and pestle to grind the dried eggshells into a fine powder.
Once ground, store the powder in an airtight container for future use.
Prepare the Calcium-Magnesium Supplement
In a glass jar, mix 1 teaspoon of the eggshell powder with 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
Add 1 teaspoon of Epsom salt, which is a natural source of magnesium sulfate, to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Allow the mixture to sit for 30 minutes. During this time, the calcium from the eggshells will react with the acid, creating a bioavailable supplement.
How to Use
Take 1-2 teaspoons of the mixture daily. You can easily add it to water, tea, or smoothies for convenient consumption.
Remember to store the supplement in the refrigerator and use it within a week.
