@Eggs crush egg shells and bake in oven at 400 F for about an hour give or take. Grind/blend the cooked egg shells until they form a fine powder. Make about 1 cup and put the shell powder in a mason jar. Disolve dehydrated egg shells in 1 cup vinegar (distilled white but apple cider vinegar will work too). It will react and bubble up so donât worry this is normal. Mix it well a few times and let it sit. (Converts calcium bicarbonate to calcium acetate)
When itâs ready filter liquid out and discard the egg shells.
Use about 1 tbsp per gallon of water.
This takes about a week so it wonât be ready before your calmag arrives but for the future it is a good method.
For magnesium use Epsom salts and just add to your calcium mix in water. About 1 tsp per gallon.

Another thing that works is calcium tabs from a drug store. Just pure calcium tablets.
Crush them up and mix them in water with some Epsom salts. Works in a pinch.

@eggs as long as there arenât any additives it should work. Foot soak Epsom salts are the same as any other Epsom salts they just brand them differently. Itâs just a magnesium treatment to sooth muscles etcâŚ
So as long as itâs pure Epsom salt it will work.

Watch Dr Teals - they add many additives (oils, perfumes, skin softeners, conditioners). My wife uses it. We buy pure from Sams club, online.
I used to use only egg shells and the vinegar (Braggs - we keep plenty on supply and drink daily) as I was that fanatical about organic. They came from my neighbors chickens that at organic feed. We probably eat a couple dozen a week. I still blend my eggshells and add them to my soil but since I have gypsum (we have mines right down the road) and Amazon, Lowes, HomeDepot and Ace, It was easy to get dolomite lime.
Do not forget, you can use Tums or any alternative brand chewable
