Eating calcium acetate

Anyone ever form calcium acetate w/ eggshells & vinegar and eat it for its phosphate binding effects?

I asked myself the same question today. I found this thread on Reddit about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/nutrition/s/wR5zD5CfDO

Would be interesting to hear about someone's experience with taking calcium acetate as a source of calcium.

@existence that is a thread about hamburgers , sir.

what's the point? is there something wrong with the eggshell form?

Ca alpha-ketoglucarate is another good form.

Eggshell calcium is alkaline and can reduce stomach acid. But it's a good way to get calcium.

I took bulk supplement's calcium acetate for a while. Nothing notable to report, but I'm not very sensitive to things. One concern I have is the aluminum bags contaminating the powder.

A few times I tried making calcium acetate from vinegar and egg shells and was unsuccessful.

I tried it a few weeks back. I crushed some egg shells and dissolved them in White Vinegar in one instance, and Apple Cider Vinegar in another. In both cases, it tasted absolutely terrible. It was very difficult to drink. Almost impossible to get over.

Also, it only seems to lower phosphate by binding to it. You don't actually get much of the calcium.

Seems to make a lot more sense to just sprinkle the ground egg shells into food, or your choice of fruit juice if you'd prefer to dissolve. I've never tried it, but I'd imagine it'd be quite good with pineapple juice as the calcium carbonate would make it less acidic.

Thanks embarrassing, don't know how that happened.
Thx for pointing it out.
