It sounds simple, but eggshell powder is one of the most effective natural remedies for supporting bones, joints, and cartilage. Many people overlook eggshells, yet they are packed with natural calcium, minerals, and collagen-like proteins that help strengthen bones and soothe joint discomfort.
If you or someone you love struggles with knee pain, weak bones, or stiffness, this gentle home remedy may offer real relief.
Here’s a friendly, clear guide to why eggshell powder works and how to use it safely.
⭐ Why Eggshell Powder Helps With Knee & Bone Pain
Eggshells are made of 95% calcium carbonate, one of the most absorbable forms of calcium. They also contain:
- Magnesium
- Phosphorus
- Zinc
- Collagen-like proteins
- Trace minerals that support bone regeneration
Together, these nutrients help:
- Strengthen weak bones
- Support joint cartilage
- Reduce inflammation
- Ease knee stiffness
- Improve mobility
This is why many people notice relief and better movement after consistent use.
⭐ How to Make Eggshell Powder at Home (Safe & Effective)
You Need:
- 4–6 clean eggs
- Water
- Oven or frying pan
- Grinder / blender
Step-by-Step:
- Wash the eggshells well.
Remove all egg white and membrane. - Boil the shells for 5–10 minutes.
This kills bacteria and makes them safe. - Dry the shells completely.
Use an oven at low heat (150°C / 300°F) for 10 minutes
or air-dry overnight. - Grind into a very fine powder.
The finer the powder, the easier it is to absorb. - Store in a clean, dry jar.
