How to consume eggs and their shells to take advantage of their benefits and protect your bones

Easy ways to consume it:
Add to smoothies or yogurt

Mix into soups, stews, or oatmeal

Sprinkle over scrambled eggs or roasted vegetables

Combine with lemon juice to help the body absorb the calcium more efficiently

⚠️ Note: Always start with a small amount. Excess calcium may cause kidney stress if taken in large, unnecessary doses.

🥗 5. Balance is Key: Other Nutrients to Help Absorb Calcium
Calcium doesn’t work alone. For optimal absorption and bone strength, make sure your diet also includes:

Vitamin D – from eggs, sunlight, or supplements

Magnesium – found in leafy greens, nuts, and seeds

Vitamin K2 – found in eggs, cheese, and fermented foods

Collagen and protein – from eggs, bone broth, or lean meats

🧠 Final Thoughts
Eggs are more than just a breakfast staple — they’re a bone-building powerhouse, especially when you include the shell. With just a few simple steps, you can turn eggshells from food waste into a natural, inexpensive calcium supplement that supports your long-term bone health.

So next time you crack an egg, think twice before tossing that shell — your bones will thank you.
