calorad classic is a liquid protein weight loss supplement which was first introduced to the us and canadian marketplace in 1984. it has been advertised on both television and radio. calorad classic is manufactured by nutridiem and is marketed by several companies including essentially yours industries and nysante, all of which are headquartered in canada. ==composition==  calorad classic is a liquid dietary supplement composed primarily of 3,000&nbsp;mg (3 grams) of type ii hydrolyzed collagen (hydrolysate) from either beef (bovine) or tuna (marine) sources and 8&nbsp;mg of aloe vera, both of which are listed as active ingredients. the supplement label states that calorad is fat-free and carbohydrate-free and that 1 serving (1/2 ounce) provides 3 grams of protein and 10 calories. calorad classic also comes in a kosher formulation (marine). the primary claim made for the product is that regular use causes weight loss without loss of lean muscle mass. while weight loss and body fat reduction may be achieved simply by following the labeled instruction to avoid eating within three hours prior to sleep as that can result in eating fewer calories per day, most individuals fasting for 3-hours prior to bed-time alone are not successful in accomplishing long-term weight loss. formulator michel grise stated that the original version of what later became known as calorad was developed to treat chickens with fatty liver syndrome. chickens were developing so much body fat that they stopped laying eggs. the formulation was successful in helping farmers reduce body fat of chickens to get them laying eggs again. this led to the question of whether such a product would work for humans.http://www.nutritionadvisor.com/product2.htm#history ==scientific studies== although the manufacturer does not make claims for calorad classic in the treatment or cure of disease, the manufacturer does cite published clinical trials in osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis,{{cite journal |pmid=9485087 |year=1998 |first1=martha l. |last1=barnett |first2=joel m. |last2=kremer |first3=william st. |last3=clair |first4=daniel o. |last4=clegg |first5=daniel |last5=furst |first6=michael |last6=weisman |first7=malcolm j. f. |last7=fletcher |first8=scott |last8=chasan-taber |first9=eduardo |last9=finger |first10=alejandro |last10=morales |first11=christine h. |last11=le |first12=david e. |last12=trentham |title=treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with oral type ii collagen. results of a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial |volume=41 |issue=2 |pages=290â7 |doi=10.1002/1529-0131(199802)41:23.0.co;2-r |journal=art
