Hey guys and gals, I have made my own eggshell calcium powder from brown colored eggshells, using the coffee grinder. I boiled them on forehand, and baked them in the oven afterwards for 20 minutes. I have a couple of questions though.
I live in the Netherlands (European Union) and I bought the eggs from a guy who comes by the house every week selling farm products. Now I am not sure what kind of eggs his eggs are. He will come by next week and I will ask him. But do eggs get sprayed with pesticides, or other chemical substances here in the European Union? And in general? And if that is the case, does boiling them remove these chemicals so they cannot be ingested? And did Ray Peat say anything about this concern?
Also, what are the dosages for a European (small) teaspoon for eggshell calcium?
And, what is the best way to take it, and is just putting it in a small amount of water and drinking it a viable option for absorption?
Also, I have contacted a pets webshop for a bio eggshell calcium supplement they sell for pets. They had contacted the manufacturer and they said that their product is made according to certain standards for biological products, the same for human dietary supplements, meaning they are not allowed to use any pesticides or other chemicals in the manufacturing progress. Still, because it is a pet supplement they are not allowed to recommend me it for human consumption. Is a eggshell calcium pet supplement safe and viable to take?
And Ray Peat recommends 2000 mg calcium for hypertension. How much eggshell calcium is recommended then in a regular diet? And is vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 and vitamin A and magnesium recommended to supplement with the calcium?
I hope you can help me out, thanks!!!
