What Dose For Egg Shells?

[stackz07]

I read on a blog 2.5 grams daily but didn't cite and sources.

I`d like to know too

I heard Ray say in one of his interviews that he knew people who took as much as a tablespoon and did well.
But now I can't recall which interview it was.

You'd better mind associating some K2 with Ca carbonate. At a meal.
I take 500 mg NEM (eggshell membrane), which brings 175 mg Ca.
I won't take more than 2 gr eggshell.
1/4 tsp = +/ 600 mg de carbonate de calcium. 30 % Ca.

Cool. This we take at every meal, or just once? Thanks.

No need for taking at every meal if you eat somme cheese or drink some milk or eat one of the top ten veggies.
Food equivalence for + / 100 mg bioavailable Ca.
250 ml milk or yoghurt
40 g of cheese
400 ml of cabbage (bok choi, kale)
600 ml broccoli.
Note: Compare bioavailability to 30 % with carbonate. 225-250 mg would be optimal (30 % of 850 mg).
Bioavalability from milk is 35%, from broccoli 65%.

Enough but not too much ca. Why?
Calcium brought in a wrong way is excitotoxic.
"Calcium is potentially the thing that causes all of the problems, allergies, cancer, heart attacks and so on. But when calcium is regulated properly, calcium protects against all of those things. And one of the central things in regulating calcium, is the parathyroid hormone.
And when you are deficient in calcium in your foods, your parathyroid hormone increases. And it can temporarily keep your blood calcium up to the proper level; but it does that by taking it out of the bones. And when you eat an excess of calcium, it tends to suppress the parathyroid hormone. » Ray PEAT

PS: Don't forget potassium too: 4700 mg. Not too much phosphate. (Ca/P 2.2/1). Between 1/1 and 2.2/1 is ok. Problem if inverse ratio (under 0.5)
