Does egg increase calcium?
Egg is not considered a high-calcium food, so it typically won’t meaningfully raise calcium intake on its own. However, it can indirectly support bone and muscle health: it provides high-quality protein that helps preserve muscle mass and reduces fall/fracture risk via stronger muscles. Egg yolk can contribute small amounts of vitamin D, which is important for calcium absorption—so there can be indirect benefit. Best use is pairing eggs with calcium sources (e.g., yogurt/kefir, or calcium-supportive sides like tahini-based salads). If your goal is higher calcium intake, treat eggs as a protein pillar, not the primary calcium source. Personalize intake if you have cholesterol concerns or dietary restrictions.
