Dan Wich said:post 30409 For now, I'm happy with NOW Calcium Carbonate, but I was considering ordering Eggshellent Calcium. It's meant for pets (and pretty expensive at that), but they're pretty open that it's just ground-up pasteurized eggshells.

Nope, I ended up holding out for Farmer's Organic Foods' eggshell calcium to come back in stock, only to finally give up and make my own.Dean said:Dan, did you ever give this calcium supplement a try?
I'll give you half a growly-grumble, it's the best I can do.Dean said:One "woof" means yes, two "woofs," I'll take as a negative.
It's not very soluble, but I think Peat has said that because it spends a long time going through the gut, you get to absorb useful amounts. I usually mix my oyster shell with a little water. I don't see any benefit in taking it completely dry. If you mix it in with acidy drink I guess it may start to react a little before it gets into you. Don't know if that matters.Dean said:post 106364 well, I'm giving this Eggshellent stuff a go. When I stir it into liquid, however, it clumps up big time. Is that going to be a problem for absorption purposes? Should I just be shooting it down dry instead?
