Potential Benefits

May Ease Joint Pain
Some traditional practices suggest that regular intake of calcium-rich eggshell tea may help reduce stiffness and discomfort in joints, particularly in those with calcium deficiencies.
Promotes Mineral Intake
Along with calcium, eggshells contain trace minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus, essential for healthy bones and connective tissue.
