Calcium Supplement

Instead of buying expensive Calcium supplements, which might cause another allergic reaction, I was wondering whether I could take an egg shell and make some kind of powder from it and consume it.

What do you think?

1: there are no stupid questions

2: Make sure you sanitize the hell out of it first (put it in the dishwasher?) and make sure it is very very dry

3: Not sure how well that could be absorbed, worth looking into...

Most calcium supplements usually also contain vitamin D, so even if the eggshells are ok, you may want to check that you are also recieving enough vitamin D. The reason this is usually included with the calcium, is because it helps your body to absorb it. Am not sure about the eggshells, but I'm sure its worth looking into. :)

Good luck x

I'm just throwing this out there as another alternative. Standard Process makes calcium lactate which is the only calcium suppliment that I can stomach. It also contains vit. D.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
