I am going to start adding eggshell calcium to my diet and was wondering how to do it. So I found this on youtube from Danny Roddy.

DMF said:Tell me, someone: Just what are eggshells made of (in addition to calcium, of course)?
The egg shell consists of about 94 to 97% calcium carbonate. The other three percent is organic matter and egg shell pigment. There are also as many as 8,000 microscopic pores in the shell itself. The outer coating of the shell itself consists of a mucous coating called the cuticle or bloom which is deposited on the shell just prior to lay.This protein like covering helps protect the interior contents of the egg from bacteria penetration through the shell. Egg shell quality is determined by the color, shape, and structure of the shell.

Making your own isnt hard at all. As a family we eat around 12 eggs per day so plenty of shells. If you dont have enough ask friends/family to give you their shells. Way cheaper than buying.

Yes, nwo, you're right, and we eat 3 eggs a day here, but I'm not ready to adding another step to my routine just now.
Oh, I was just at our feed store and forgot to see about the calcium. But I did get some penicillin. !!
