Benefits of Adding Eggshell to Your Diet

3. Remineralize Tooth Enamel

Teeth may erode for several reasons including diet, old age, or behavioral habits like grinding. Recent research suggests eggshell powder, when mixed with a glycerin solution, can aid in the remineralization of tooth enamel. This is not to say that you can generate new enamel; enamel, once lost, is lost forever. But tooth decay can be slowed, and the loss of enamel halted, with the help of a qualified dentist and eggshells. In fact, the same study determined eggshell powder contains lower levels of toxic materials than often found in other natural sources of calcium.
