how much elemental calcium in a teaspoon of eggshell powder

[Guest guest]

does anyone know?

my holistic vet wrote that there is approx. 1800-2000 mgs *elemental* Ca in

a teaspoon of eggshell powder. Yet, in discussing this with some other

folks, there seems to be a conflict. Others think that there's 1800-2000 mgs

calcium *carbonate* in one teaspoon of eggshell powder. eggshell powder is

primarily Ca carbonate, but the question is how much ca carbonate and how

much elemental Ca. if i even knew for sure how much ca carbonate, then i

could take 40% of that to get the elemental Ca content.

Thanks for any help!
