If you’re referring to the viral “boil eggshells and say goodbye to…” claim, be skeptical of it. Eggshells are mainly calcium carbonate, so boiled eggshell water is sometimes promoted online as a calcium supplement or as a remedy for various problems.
However, boiling eggshells doesn’t turn the water into a proven treatment for a disease, joint problem, or other health condition. There are also hygiene concerns if the shells aren’t thoroughly cleaned, and homemade eggshell preparations can contain contaminants or provide an unpredictable amount of calcium.
If the headline continues with what you’re supposedly saying goodbye to—such as joint pain, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, or something else—paste that part here and I can explain whether the claim is supported by evidence.
