Homemade calcium and magnesium eggshell recipe
by Michael Edwards
(NaturalNews) The need for calcium and magnesium for growing and maintaining a healthy body has been well established for decades. Absorbing these nutrients isn't so easy. Most mineral supplements come from inorganic matter that is not bioavailable. In fact, taking a calcium or a calcium magnesium supplement will often do you more harm than good.
The fact is that most supplements on the market are toxic. It doesn't matter how many milligrams of calcium a supplement has if it causes kidney stones. And while supplementing your diet with calcium can rid the body of many common health ailments, taking the wrong kind of calcium overtaxes the body and can actually cause arthritis and many other degenerative diseases. The only inorganic Cal-Mag formula to date that I know of that benefits the human body comes from this lemon-egg recipe. All the rest are junk.
Lemon Egg Recipe - the best organic calcium supplementation
- Carefully place whole, clean, uncooked, uncracked, organic eggs in a clean wide-mouth jar or glass container. How many eggs is up to you, but the lemon juice needs to cover the eggs.
- Cover the eggs with freshly squeezed organic lemon juice (concentrated lemon juice is pasteurized and should never be used as a substitute).
- Cover the jar loosely and place it in the refrigerator. A few times during the day, gently - very gently - agitate the liquid in the jar. As the calcium from the shells is leached by the lemon juice, bubbles will appear around the eggs.
- Approximately 44 to 48 hours later, when the bubbling has stopped, carefully remove the eggs from the jar, being sure not to break the egg membranes. Replace the lid tightly on the jar containing the liquid and shake the mixture. You now have "Lemon Egg". I love to drink it straight or mix 2oz in my smoothies. It can also be used for recipes calling for lemon juice as well. If there is no more than twice as much lemon juice per egg volume, I take a tablespoon or two of the lemon mixture and up to six if I don't eat enough vegetables.
One whole medium sized eggshell yields about 750 - 800 mgs of elemental calcium plus other microelements, including but not limited to magnesium, boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, sulphur, silicon, zinc, (27 elements in total). The composition of an eggshell is very similar to that of our bones and teeth.
Calcium-magnesium is not the only homemade supplement you can make. Check out Homemade Vitamin C and Homemade Multivitamin and Mineral Formula.
