ground eggshells for Calcium

What I understand is that for minerals to be usable to the body, they
must be plant based - broken down to a form the body can use. You can
be calcium toxic(overloaded/poisoned) and calcium deficient at the same
time. Calcium in a rock form (or any form not plant based), is not
usable and actually will accumulate in the blood, arteries, joints and
organs and cause problems - stones in the kidneys, galbladder, liver...
joint problems... arterial build-up...

I don't know how to say this gently, but that's just not correct. Whoever told you
that is quite mistaken.

Some calcium salts are less soluble than others, and that makes them less
bioavailable. Once dissolved, though, there is no distinguishing characteristic that
would make the original source of the calcium known to the body's biochemical
processes, and no mechanism by which non-plant derived calcium would preferentially
desposit in such a way as to cause those problems you listed. Calcification occurs
for other reasons entirely.

How much crushed eggshells does a man need to eat for absorbing 1000mg
calcium?
