Eggshells are a natural source of various minerals; they are in fact made up of 90% calcium. The body can utilize calcium very easily, as the buildup of the teeth and the bones is close to the buildup of eggshells.
By taking in an adequate quantity of calcium, you can prevent osteoporosis, blood pressure fluctuations and high cholesterol levels. This means that you probably should never throw out eggshells.
Besides calcium, eggshells contain zinc, copper, manganese, floor, phosphorus, chromium and molybdenum. It is enough to consume 3 g crushed eggshells a day to cover our daily necessary calcium intake.
