At 70 diagnosed with osteoporsis..began using eggshell instead of prescribed shots. When I use have better hair..skin and nails. So I feel at 78 my bones are strong!
The procedure from the video (for those who want a written recipe):
Wash the eggshells thoroughly.
Crack them and eat the insides.
Save the shells and keep them in the freezer.
When you have a gallon zip-lock bag full of eggshells, take them out and put them on a cookie sheet.
Turn oven to 250 degrees (Fahrenheit).
Cook for an hour. This leaves the membrane intact, ensures the egg shells are completely dried out, and kills any bacteria.
Crunch them up in a big bowl, then put them in something like a Magic Bullet or Ninja food processor. Put on "pulverize" and let it run as long as it needs to to create a very fine eggshell powder.
You can sprinkle it on food.
How you can read our minds need! Thanks!
I was thinking of picking up a little coffee grinder just for my egg shells.
Wow
July Bug . The finer the less gritty. A burr type will produce a much finer grind than blade grinders. That’s what espresso coffee requires.
Washing the shells properly before freezing them is crucial
Great suggestion! 2 refinements that should be noted. First, do NOT use a blender to grind the shells, unless the blender uses a glass vessel! The shells will abrade plastic, and you will end up with that toxic plastic in your healthy supplement. Next, get a small strainer to catch the pieces that do not become powder. A warning: Ground egg shell is extremely abrasive. If you add it to food that you chew, you can feel it grinding away at the enamel of your teeth! Don't put it in anything you chew! If you mix it with drinks, it sinks so fast you can't get it down. You can add it to a very thick shake I suppose. I solved the problem by buying a capsule filling machine, and making my own eggshell capsules. Pro tip: line the cookie sheet with parchment paper. The little drips of egg that drop onto the cookie sheet harden like epoxy, and are very hard to get off without ruining the cookie sheet. The paper just gets tossed, leaving nothing but a rinse for clean up!
Good tips. Thank you. It settles to the bottoms of my smoothies but i just swish the cup around and down it.
whoa! thank you!!!!!
Thank you David.
..thanks so much! Maybe we can add it to chilled coconut oil and swallow?
You were doing an absolutely phenomenal job until you said you were making capsules out of them because they have a very fine and hard powder making capsules out of them is a nightmare I have tried and I have made capsules of many other things and eggshell powder is the worst also I don’t consume capsules anymore because it’s processed and you don’t know what is in those capsules even if they are vegetarian. I also don’t use capsules because taking a teaspoon and putting it in your mouth and then swishing it down with water is by far the best solution for every supplement and every powder.
Every morning I wake up I take two scoops of grass fed whey protein isolate two scoops of almond flour or pumpkin seed flour I alternate every few days between the two you don’t want to take them at the same time because some of them could have anti-nutrients that will prevent each other from absorbing. I also don’t brew coffee I just take a big tablespoon of my organic CBD coffee and half a teaspoon of Kratom and I feel absolutely incredible and I just gave myself an unbelievable amount of nutrients in about two minutes worth of scooping.
I also eat half a pound of organic spinach every morning and every night I don’t blend it I just put it in my mouth and chew it down and it takes about 40 seconds of chewing.
I wouldn’t recommend eggs in the morning because they make you tired I would recommend eggs about 2 1/2 hours before going to bed so that they can make you tired right before bed and fill your brain with nutrients so that you can get better sleep.
I used to spend hours every day cooking and cleaning dishes now I spent a total of 20 minutes cooking and eating every day.
I haven't eaten eggs shells, but I'm married, so I've walked on egg shells a lot! I'll try you receipe. Thanks!
Lol!!!😂
So far, everything you've taught me has led to me living my best life. Eggshells are now on the menu! Thanks for everything you do, sir!
Never done that, but i will try ....
Yes I've seen egg shell powder on Rain Country (u tub) she puts it in capsules .I plan to make some now that you also think it's a good thing to do .. thank you for the video ☺
I will try it and I will like it. Going to put it in my power shake 💪 ty love your videos
You can add washed eggshells to your bone broth when you make it. Add a little acid such as apple cider vinegar or lemon.
I will try your method saving all my eggshells in the freezer, etc. ❤️
So, instead of throwing egg shells away, and then buying supplements for calcium and magnesium, I love your idea of how to benefit from the egg shells and save money, as social security does not allow for any waste!! Thanks so much for all your healthful tips!!
Also, calcium supplements are associated with mortality.
We grew up in my country using the eggs shells in everything, and I'm almost 50 years old, and i never had any pain and still consume the eggs shells and my family too.
Hi, what do you mean you used eggshells in everything? You sprinkled it on food, or? How many eggshells per day in general and in what form? Powdered or just crunch on it?
!!!
How did you use egg shells?
In what form dot you use the egg shells? We would love to learn!
Diagnosed with osteoporosis - I started eating egg shells. 2 years later... no osteoporosis - not even any osteopenia!
@@aurian-lay how much eggshell powder you use a day?
I've been doing this exact procedure for years. Only I would feed it back to my chickens to promote strong egg growth. It never crossed my mind to eat it myself. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks Dr. Berry!
Sounds like you and the hens may have to share!
I can't take the crunch, even as fine as I'm making it. I've been adding some to my coffee grounds in the morning
Make sure the shells are crushed and don’t resemble the eggs or your chickens will start to eat the eggs.
How are the results?
I have used egg shells for house plants - and it really does make them healthier, stronger. So, I'm going to give it a try for myself. Thanks for the info.
I've used them for plants too. They do work great. I think they have a lot of lysine too.
Ive tried what you suggest, no longer Pre-diabetic, no Fibromyalgia, Psoriasis gone, 70 lbs gone...
So guess I'm trying egg shells!!!
I started eating egg shells (1/2 tsp twice a week) about 2 months ago, but always had a worry that the calcium could go to my arteries instead of my bones. Your video put me at ease! FYI, I use a coffee bean grinder and mix with yogurt, then swallow it down without chewing.
I still wonder about that. How is it any different than taking a calcium supplement?
egg shells are real food, pills are not@@Indydi
Take centrifuged butter oil
Green Pastures is good brand
Puts the calcium IN bones & teeth instead of ON them and lining ur vessels, both no-nos
Yes! I eat the eggshells as well! I am aware of the value of nutrients of these. Also, if you have a cut in the skin, the delicate membrane inside of the egg can be used as a bandaid when dried. It will heal the wound and the added nutrients will help in the healing. Farmers used this as a go to, when living on the farm but since the norm as changed society has forgotten these tried and true methods. Thanks for all that you do! 🐓🥚♥️
How would one go about removing the inside membrane and then how would you dry it?
@@JaneDoe-gn1jr that's my question as well. I can't ever seem to free the membrane from the shell
Probably from a boiled egg!
We have done this to eggs for our garden and plants. Will try it. Thank you.
@@JaneDoe-gn1jr when you crack the egg, you should be left with two pieces. Holding on price, slightly crack at the spot where it was cut already. Just a little over to expose the membrane. Take out the little egg shell pieces on the membrane you exposed and then just rip it off!
Dr. Berry, in my household, haven’t thrown away a single egg shell in 10 years. However, unlike you, the baked and blitzed shells go into the soil just prior to planting. We grow all our vegetables. It’s also incorporated into our livestock feed.
My mom, over 30 years ago, used to make "healthy cookies" with dates, nuts.. and crushed baked egg shells for my grandmother. She used to say that the egg shells have a lot of vitamins and minerals that are good for her mom's health!
Where can we learn all of this forgotten knowledge....
Smart Mom!
@@Jdub0126 Thank God for Y T!! As much as I detest their policies and sense oar (ship), it's been quite a blessing!
!!!
My grandmother used to eat it regularly back in Eastern Europe and we all laughed at her as kids! Looks like she knew this natural remedies way before us...
!!!
I have been doing this for years. I put the shells on parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees, making sure they are not burned. I let them cool and crunch them down and put in a coffee grinder and make a fine powder. I store in a glass jar in the pantry. I mix mine with my powdered collagen add it to walnut milk and a few drops of BioSil and some cinnamon. I blend in blender and drink. The doggies get a sprinkling on their homemade meals every day.
Hi, what about vitamin D? do you take vitamin D too?
I've been doing this and feeding the shells back to our chickens for years- recycling with 100% efficiency. Calcium in, calcium out.
I'm well into adulthood and have had accumulating illness all my life, trying every way of eating I came across. I've just started the carnivore diet being on the 4th day. After the first day I did not crave sweets anymore, total miracle for me! The cravings I've had for so many years, more than sweets was meat and grease but I was swayed against it by so many people. I knew my body was telling me something but I never knew how to transition completely to meat and eggs. Thinking it was just another craving I kept searching and came across your videos. I'm so grateful!! I've never eaten egg shells before but I'm going to try it, looking forward to it.
That's called placebo. Nothing works after 1 day, that's essentially a physical/chemical impossibility.
I would love to do carnivore but it is too much expensive 😮
@@salmanismarketing6688 It's really not, ends up being MUCH cheaper for many people. I went from spending $800-1000 a month (lots of delivery/restaraunts/alcohol) to about $400 a month now eating steaks ground beef eggs butter some dairy. As you keep going you'll realize you don't need the majority of the products people keep in their bathrooms. Save some money there, and of course you'll rarely if ever get sick anymore, no more headaches, no more allergies, no more missed days of work, no more brain frog to increase productivity, no more huge hospital bills people experience in late years. It's really expensive to eat any other way I'd say.
@salmanismarketing6688 he has a video on keto for cheap, it would still apply to carnivore 🙂
How are the results?
Hi Dr. Berry. I'm very new into this lifestyle so I've been doing a crash course on your very informative videos. I did my first bag of eggshells today and put them on my meal tonight. I'm pumped up about all of this. I'm 66 years old and feeling better than I've felt in a long time. Had my yearly blood work last week and everything is looking great. My primary Dr told me to not change a thing. Thank you so much, sir!
I want to quote Mr. David from the upper comment section- "Great suggestion! 2 refinements that should be noted.

I've been feeding egg shells to the dogs in their raw food but never thought about eating them myself until I started listening to you. I have 2 dozen egg shells in the instipot with the lamb bones making bone broth right now and will give grinding them and eating them a try.
Yes. My mother-in-law does this. She crushes them up and adds them to pancake batter. She grew up on a farm and during the Great Depression where you use everything. She also uses soured milk in place of buttermilk for pancakes. I suppose I could do the same thing and add the powder to any keto baked goods.
I am 63, 51 years Ago, my home economics teacher was teaching us how to use the blender. She made a shake and added a whole egg including the shell. I have never forgotten that. I have made egg shells as you have described. Didn’t know quite what to do with them. Great to know that only a half teaspoon a day is all that is needed!
I'm a new member of the Patreon group and found this video on egg shells because it kept coming up in Q&A's. I eat Vital Farms eggs daily as part of my PHD (doing BBBE right now for 30 days) and had no idea! I'll be saving my egg shells now to do this. Thanks Dr. B! (your neighbor in Atoka TN, just outside Memphis)
I do! I soft boil eggs everyday. I just pop 1 whole egg shell in my mouth and chew it up.
My dog loves egg shells. I was collecting eggs from my chickens and my dog pops the whole egg in her mouth and runs off. Thanks for your work Dr. Berry. I have kept off 60 lbs of inflammation, reversed my crippling anxiety and depression, and recognized my food sensitivities through low carb, keto, carnivore over the past 3 years. My carb intake varies, but I now know I have the carb dial and have some control over my physical and mental health.
In the other video about calcium, you never explained why those other type calciums can clog your arteries but egg shells don't and what those other calcium supplements really are. Thank you🙂 love your videos!
I’m glad you put out a video on these eggshells! I was diagnosed with osteopenia last year and I, saw Steven’s wife who is on Bella’s channel talk about the recipe to ingest eggshells. I use my coffee grinder to pulverize my shells. Hopefully when I do my next Dexa scan, my bones will be in a better condition because of the calcium I’m taking the egg shells. Thank you for the recipe. personally, I put my egg shells in my collagen water in the morning with a pinch of Himalayan sea salt. Then I chase it with my iodine water.
!!!
I've seen other people talking about the benefits of eggshell membrane for pain relief, but wasn't sure how to prepare them. sounds like the whole eggshell is beneficial. I'm going to try it and see how it works. Thanks for the great info.
"Eggcellent" You are punny Dr. Berry! I love your videos, thank you so much.
I'm not eating any eggshells . Thanks . How about " balot" ? It's a egg with the chick inside . You can get different number of weeks of development.
That must be beneficial in some way .
So when do you start ?
@@boracay12 or haggis the nasty foods!
@@marymc6823 wtf
Thank you for this video. I'm going to start doing this every day, 1/2 teaspoon. My grandmother, who was a young mom with 3 kids during the great depression, always taught us "it's a sin to waste food". She practiced what she preached too. Going to start doing this today.
How's it going? I wanna try it too
I have been using boiled water after boiling egg in the morning for making tea for my breakfast. Also chilled it for watering the house plants and noticing plants are healthier so believe the egg shell has great nutrients. Now I will dry them in air flyer and powdered the shells
The air flyer is not good its teflon.
@@aussieandrew not all of them have the nonstick crap, thank God
@@katie7748 really thanks for that.
I have not eaten egg shells on purpose! But I’m definitely going to give this a shot. I really like getting the most out of the food I eat. I also enjoy your posts. I’ve been in food service all my life and just now realizing (and doing something about it) I have been part of the problem!
Yes I have!
Back in the day when I drank smoothies I would always add a spoonful of eggshell powder!
I’ve added egg shells when making bone broth. Just add the egg shells to the bones and water and let everything simmer together.
I do the same
For those of you boiling your eggs, let the water cool down and save it in an empty container. It helps my house plants to look so healthy. I just water like I would with regular water.
So just eat the eggshells after you boil your eggs?
@jessiicc this is what I'd like to find out.. So far I haven't been able to find the answer..
Never heard of this I use the water with eggshell throw in the magic bullet and pour on the plants with the crushed eggshells in it. But will definitely try this method thank you ❤
@@jessiiccyes that’s how I eat it or you can do Dr. Berrys method.
Nice! Never would have thought of this.
Definitely going to do this from now on! Thank you!
Hi from the UK - yes I eat eggshells, I add 1 tsp to my ground coffee before putting in the esspreso maching I also make toothpaste from coconut oil, baking soda, ground egshells and a few peppermint oil drops. Thanks for all your advice.
He cleans them before using the insides. Saves the remaining shells in a ziplock bag in the freezer until he has enough to bake. Then bakes large amounts like a gallon bag worth at 250°f for 1 hour. Then grinds baked shells to a power. He consumes 1/2 tsp power, per day, plus sprinkles some on his pet’s foods (Dogs and Cats) too.
PS: Also works well on plants to prevent deficiency diseases, especially for tomatoes and peppers.
Love this idea and YES I do intend to use your process and add this to my diet & supplement for my kitties too. Thank you.
Love it! I’ve been considering doing exactly this, thanks Doc
I’ve been doing this since my vegetarian days. The only difference is that I us the shells off my hard boiled eggs. I also keep the water for bone broth. If you watch the water settle after cooling down you’ll see white stuff on the bottom. I always thought it was also calcium so might as well keep 🤷🏻♂️
Ive been saving them to make fertilizer for my tomatoes and peppers andnjust recently saw a video about eating them. Thank you for the "how to" and the safe preparation for consumption. YES - going to make a batch and will begin using them soon!
This is great! I envision phasing out the Citracal that the doctor currently has me taking, and replacing that with eggshells. I am a forest gardener, implementing regenerative agriculture practices, some of which are based on Korean Natural Farming (KNF). One of the inputs is Water Soluble Calcium (WCA) made by mixing the roasted, crushed eggshells with Brown Rice Vinegar in a 1:10 ratio. You leave it to sit and react for 5 to 10 days. That is to provide nutrition for plants. Since you promote the use of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) for its health benefits, I wondered whether it makes sense to incorporate eggshells into the ACV, or whether the WCA might be good for human consumption along with a carnivore diet.
Well, THAT'S easy enough! I heard about the egg shell thing just recently, but without and of the details that you just gave us. I appreciate you for sharing, Doc! I HATE to waste anything! I'm definitely going to do this! Many blessings to you and yours!!
I heard a rumour that it would help with a cavity that I had in a back tooth. I took a teaspoon a day in a cream and egg smithies. 3 months. Waiting for a filling all that time. Dentist said it did not need repair anymore. That's the truth. But I always get that certain look when I tell this story. Was so glad to see you do this video Dr B. Made me smile.
Dr john chrustopher used egg shell powder fir cavities. A swore people could regrow teeth.
Thanks again, Dr Berry, especially for the info of how to prepare eggshells for consumption.
I'm going to get it started tonight. Thank you for all your information.
I love the natural sound of this. I always dislike throwing out food. This sounds just perfect for me. Love that you show the Ancestral Supplements.
Been doing this for years. Love seeing a video on it!
Yes. My dad was a physician. When I was a kid and had nail problems. He recommended it and went away. I will try.
My nails are crap thanks to çĥ3mó and nothing I'm doing has gotten them to stop breaking and peeling. (Not a girly girl by any means...it just gets annoying and it can be quite painful.) I should try this....wonder how long it would take to see a change. Five years of crap nails, I've forgotten what it's like to not break a nail folding laundry lol
Ahh I’ve been waiting for this video for a long time! Thank you dr. Berry
So gonna try this! Wow! You just keep giving us great stuff to get healthy with! Thanks!💕
Hmmmmm.
I have used egg shells heated and dried and put in my coffee maker - under the coffee grounds and it cuts the acidity.
A shake of salt cuts the bitterness.
Then I can drink my coffee black - and leave out the milk - since I'm trying to cut out all dairy.
Very interesting! How much of the shell do you put in your drip coffee grounds?
So glad you addressed this topic! I usually peel out the membrane and cook it with my eggs, but I only tried the shells once. I boiled, but did not freeze or bake them, and couldn't get them ground fine enough with the nutribullet or the blender, so not very palatable. Also, my family thought i'd lost my mind.... I tried it because another TH-cam doctor said it would reverse my osteoporosis, but I stopped for the reasons I stated. I will try it again using your method. You have never steered me wrong!
..the minerals might go into the water... Maybe use a little egg cooker to steam them or drink the boiled water? Also make sure the grinder is glass or plastic will go into the shards.
It's important to remember to make sure you take vitamin D or make sure you're getting enough vitamin D from food or sunlight on your skin as you could take an entire bucket of calcium and without vitamin D your body wouldn't be able to absorb it 😎
The secret must be in the baking to dry out all the moisture from the shells.
I've never tried any of this before, it NEVER occurred to me.
But I'll be doing it from now on
Hows it going now after one year?
I will definitely be checking this out to do it. Thank you.
Yes I’ve been eating egg shells organically non-GMO for a couple years now I boil the egg save the egg shell 🥚 grind it into a find powder form.. it’s tasteless you could put it in anything coffee ☕️ food you name it… it’s definitely a powerhouse.
What makes you say that egg shells specifically are a powerhouse?
Thanks for sharing this.
Had wondered about this.
Going to give it a go.
Great idea Dr. Berry, my family is going to try this. Thank you!
I think you may have convinced me to try this! We have done this to put on our garden plants.
Wow! I never thought of eating egg shells before. I will definitely try for my family and pets. This is because all of your recommendations are spot on.
Subscribed. This is the type of content I need
Fabulous! I'm going to start doing this today. And sharing your video.😸
I will try this. Never thought about it but an awesome idea. Thank you.
Yes, I’ve heard of and am now using eggshell membrane for joint pain. Glad you’re talking about the benefits of eggshells. On your Monday Night Live a few weeks ago, I asked you to comment on taking eggshell supplements for joint pain when eating a Carnivore diet. Your idea of saving eggshells to make into a powder is as genius and helpful as frying bacon in a Dutch oven pot…Thanks again Dr. Berry, thanks again!
Do you think it would be helpful with rheumatoid arthritis? Also have you ever noticed kidney stones from them?
Just keep your calcium levels in check and eat a low oxylate diet to keep kidney stones away as best as possible. Best wishes to you.
@@dianneeubanks8594 passing on good info to help the kidney stones: Research Epsom Salt USP, which is actually magnesium sulfate.
I will definitely be trying this! Excellent information
Every part egg has nutrition.
I learned from my grandparents how to store long term bulk eggs.
Boil, peel, can separate white and told if want, chop up the peeled boiled egg then dehydrate, then grind in powder then can put into vacuum sealed bags or zip lock bags.
The shells then grind into a powder as well.
I put dried/ground up egg shells in my vegetable garden but will try them directly on my food too :)
Yes! On our farm we had a chicken farm as well as other animals. About 240 various birds. I always made powdered egg shells. Added in dog food and u can put them in a Veggie capsule and take the 1/4 tsp that way. Also add in the garden tomato soil 👌
I like the idea of the veggie capsule. Sweet.
Great idea about the veggie capsule--thanks for sharing it with us. :)
I'm so grateful for this video! I've been saving and grinding our egg shells (in the Keurig coffee grinder) for a year now and feel so good about all the extra nutrition we're getting. -For pretty much FREE! (Still keep sending my mom/aunt your calcium video, but they're like, "well that's sweet honey, but I'm gonna do what my doctor says."🤯)
I've been grinding Eggshells for years, using only a mortar and pestle. Allows me to get a very fine grind. 🙂 plus, it's something I can do while sitting on the couch watching t.v., instead of watching t.v. and doing nothing 👍
Does it help tooth grow.?
I’ve never tried this but I’m going to. Thanks for always educating us
I will definitely do this. Brilliant nutrition!!!!
Yes, we eat eggshells blended up in protein smoothies with greens using a Vitamix blender. Known this forever from Vitamix demos at state fairs and so happy to see you promote it. Keep up the great work Dr. Berry. Thank you and God bless you.
I do plan to do this! So far I’ve prepared them for wild birds particularly prior to nesting for their own shell making. - Thanks Doc, your always helping me❣️
Hi Dr.Berry ... following you quite a while from Spain, I use to see my ex mother in law eating egg shells many years ago, and I was thinking in incorporate them in my diet , and now i´ll do it for sure ...i´ve been doing keto for two years and my whole life has been changed for good since then, i´m 54 and feeling better each month ... thanks for your great content videos and awesome advises.... greetings
I will definitely try this. I take calcium supplements daily. Egg shells sounds like a more natural alternative. I started eating cauliflower leaves and cores this year instead tossing them in the garbage. Same too with broccoli stems.
Don't they have anti nutrients in them?
1/3 ground egg shells, 1/3 cinnamon (Ceylon), 1/3 brown sugar into a spice jar and sprinkle on toast with butter or coconut oil and honey 🍯 and crushed walnuts 👌
Now that you’ve given us the why & how to, will definitely utilize the egg shells for all it’s benefits! Thanks!
Years ago I made my own egg shell powder. The recipe I found online said to boil the shells first and then bake them. That was probably overkill. I'm going to try it your way. Thanks for the reminder. 😊 And an old coffee or spice grinder works great for turning them into a powder.
Boiled eggs perfect as already boiled.
I feed my dog egg shells. I know it has lots of nutrients but for me it sounds weird to eat eggs shells.
I would say it's like the nose to tail carnivore movement. We should eat the whole food including, shell, skin, organs. The nutrients are far more dense and complete than just muscle meats.
I think we just have to get used to the idea of eating everything not just what is popularized in the western world 🤓
What an awesome coherent comprehensive review on the question of addressing bone (density) heath issues derived from eating egg shells. Appreciate you explaining just exactly what you do to prepare the shells for consumption from start to finish . Direct, concise and to the point, thank you KenDBerry!
Always good advice, thanks!
Paul Saladino got me started on eating egg shells since 2019 becoming animal based. Shells are a great source of calcium much needed on a carnivore or animal base diet for some. For me personally I found being 100% carnivore I had bad muscle cramps due to calcium and magnesium deficiencies. Saladino experienced the same while others do not
Very true about the leg cramps. Mine didn't cease, even after supplementing with magnesium and potassium, until I finally added calcium. Then, I stopped having calf and toe cramps at night and upon waking. I was afraid that adding calcium might end up being deposited in soft tissues, so I also take K2-mk7. But I'm going to try the eggshells, a cheaper source of minerals. Thanks!
@@dianavp9054 I found soft chicken bones to be a good source of calcium, collagen and minerals too. I use the slow cooker to boil them nice and soft then munch away. Versus tossing in the trash that is if you can stomach chicken bones
@@JYAN2852 I've eaten cooked beef bones, but can't stomach them every day. I think the high histamine is an issue. Thanks for the advice with chicken bones, but I think the egg shells in my homemade broth might be more palatable. 😉
@@dianavp9054 Lol same here. Love beef bones but there's only so much of it I can take. I enjoy beef daily but the bones not so much.
@@JYAN2852 when i eat rotisserie chicken, some bones are eatable and i would say even tasty and enjoyable with the brown inside
I just did this for the first time today! I am 56 y/o post menopausal and have osteopenia/osteoporosis and was looking for a way to boost calcium intake to avoid going the medication route. This was the last piece of my puzzle! Taking some supplements and upped my weight bearing exercise. Hoping to see an improvement or halt in progression next year! 🤞 Thank you for always providing the best and most helpful information!!
Have you seen any benefits?
I’ve been doing this for years, but it ends up in my garden! I will start cooking some and blending into powder for myself.
Thank you for being honest and vocal about the new miscommunication we are getting from our paid for doctors. I have started keto and it's wonderful..More energy, loss of 30 lbs.and working on stopping smoking after 37 years. My new energy actually helps my ambition to stop smoking . Weird huh? I will be trying the egg shell powder ASAP..Thank you for everything you have opened my eyes..
I have been eating eggshells now for about 2 weeks I've noticed a difference in my fingernails of an improvement my joints in my knees the inflammation is less and the myair and at 73 years of age I feel like my skin is smooth and looks good no complaints I encourage everyone to eat the egg shell
Are you still eating them?
How do you feel?
I have not (intentionally) eaten them but I plan on trying it now that I know it is good for me!
Thank you for the information.
I use quail eggs as well. I've always used egg shells for my chickens and wildlife, but not for myself! I will start doing this immediately. Quail eggs have a thinner shell and cook up super fast and are easy to eat whole. Great video!
Probably especially important for kids that are growing lots of bone. As described by Rheaume-Bleue in the book Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox, this should go along with adequate vitamins A, D3, and K2 (liver, eggs, oily fish - also good for their growing neurons).
I was thing of this for calcium. I hadn’t done it because I was nervous. Now I will definitely try it
Definitely plan on eating egg shells! Thanks for providing the "how to" for prepping them!!
I will definitely be trying this! Thank you 😊
I’ve never eaten eggshells before but I’m surely going to from now on. Thank you for this.
No. I have never eaten egg shells or the membrane BUT I certainly will do so now! I love the idea of making a powder and adding that to my shakes!
Simply awesome! Thank you, Dr. Berry!
👍 I will try it . Thank you for the important information .
You can also feed these ground up eggshells back to your hens. Hens need calcium supplementation in one form or another in order to make strong egg shells. You can buy ground up oyster shells at the feed store, or you can recycle your egg shells back to the chicken feeder.
I feed the shells back to my hens so their shells are strong. They forage most of the day, hunting bugs and digging through the horse pasture. They eat everything so well that the horse and sheep don't have too many flies.
