It might sound like the start of a simple recipe — one lemon and one egg — but this powerful combo has been used for generations as a natural support for wellness. While not meant for eating together, lemon and egg (especially the shell!) can be combined in a clever way that many people have never heard of.
🍋🥚 What’s the Trick?
This isn’t about making food — it’s a simple natural remedy that uses the calcium-rich shell of an egg and the vitamin C-packed juice of a lemon.
When a clean, raw eggshell is soaked in fresh lemon juice for 24–48 hours, something interesting happens: the shell begins to dissolve, releasing bioavailable calcium and other minerals into the lemon juice. This liquid can then be used in very small amounts as a natural mineral booster.
🌿 Why People Use It
- Calcium boost – A natural, gentle way to support bone health without tablets
- Immune support – Lemon brings vitamin C and antioxidants
- Joint and nail care – Some believe it helps with joint flexibility and stronger nails
