You’ve probably been throwing away eggshells all your life — but did you know they’re one of nature’s richest sources of calcium? Boiling eggshells the right way can unlock powerful minerals that your body craves for stronger bones, better joints, and improved energy levels.

Eggshells contain about 95% calcium carbonate, along with magnesium, phosphorus, and small traces of protein and collagen — nutrients your body needs to stay strong and healthy. When consumed safely, this natural calcium can even help prevent osteoporosis and brittle nails while supporting heart and muscle function.

How to Prepare Boiled Eggshell Water:

Collect 5–6 clean eggshells after use and rinse them thoroughly to remove any residue.

Boil them in about 1 liter of water for 10 minutes to sterilize and release their minerals.

Let the water cool, then strain it into a glass jar or bottle.

Drink half a cup daily, preferably in the morning, for a gentle mineral boost.
