What You Should Know
Calorad is a weight loss system that comes in a liquid form. This diet product is a protein and collagen-based supplement that’s claimed to provide the body with “vital nutrients.” Calorad aims to rebuild muscle tissue (promote fat loss), restore collagen, assist with weight loss and replenish the dieter’s body with essential amino acids (Proline and Glycine). The Calorad system sells online for $87.95 (a 30-day supply). This includes Calorad AM (Bovine), Calorad PM (Marine) and Agrisept-L. The official Calorad website states that collagen is the “glue that holds the body together.”
Calorad endeavors to offer other benefits to dieters in addition to weight reduction. Since the human body loses essential muscle mass, collagen and vitamins as it ages, the manufacturers of Calorad claim that this diet supplement will restore these important components. Primary ingredients found in Calorad are proline and glycine, which are both amino acids that the body needs. Other key components are protein and collagen. Calorad essentially aims to make use of the body’s sugar and fats more “efficiently.” The collagen nutrients found in Calorad come from fish and beef. This liquid diet supplement is intended to be taken (1 tablespoon) just before bed on an empty stomach. It is recommended that Calorad be taken in conjunction with a regular fitness routine and healthy diet.

Product Features
Calorad is a liquid weight loss supplement geared toward men and women. This diet product sells for $87.95 (30-day supply) via the official website. Calorad aims to improve lean muscle mass, boost collagen levels and help shed excess pounds. A single tablespoon of Calorad is to be taken once each day just before bedtime. This weight loss system consists of three products, which are Calorad AM (Bovine), Calorad PM (Marine) and Agrisept-L. Calorad contains 10 calories per tablespoon.
Advantages
- Calorad can be conveniently purchased via the official website.
- Calorad only contains 10 calories per serving.
- A toll-free phone number is available on the official website for the consumer’s convenience.
Disadvantages
- Calorad does not come with a 100 percent money-back guarantee.
- Consumer testimonials are absent from the official website.
- Calorad sells at $87.95 for a one-month supply, which may prove quite expensive for some dieters.
- The official website doesn’t appear to provide much background information on the company that manufacturers Calorad.
- Indstructions to take Calorad before bed “on an empty stomach” leave us wondering about how long one needs to wait after dinner to take this supplement.
- The product may have a displeasing smell. (See reader comments.)
- The website fails to offer any free trial samples of Calorad.
Conclusion
All in all, Calorad is a rather interesting and unique take on diet supplements. While the majority of modern diet supplements tend to come in pill or capsule form, Calorad is actually a liquid. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the product will sufficiently aid dieters in the weight loss process. If the official Calorad website offered a money-back guarantee or possibly some real consumer testimonials, Calorad would likely be more appealing to a greater audience. Be sure to consult a physician prior to taking a diet supplement such as Calorad.
I have been taking calorad for a month now and I have still not seen any weight loss. my tummy is bigger than ever and its still difficult to sleep right after taking calorad. what should I do now.

Can I take calord at night and then take Garcina Cambogia Extract during the day with meals? Will this give me side defect?
[Reply]
I have taken both. I took the Calorad at night and Garcinia in the morning. In all honesty, I didn’t lose but gained 4 lbs in a two week period.

I have taken Calorad for 2 months and have not lost weight, always 3 hours befor bed, and also can’t fall to sleep? What should I do?
[Reply]
I have been taking it for two weeks and have noticed a lot of joint & physical pain. I’m not sure if it is my increased workout or the Colorad. I’m going to continue taking it for another couple of weeks to see if the pain continues.
[Reply]
Me too! Chest and back and stomach pain. Its only been one week.
[Reply]
I have stomach pain and some lower back pain. I wondered if I should continue, wil I eventually feel better? Does it have to be 3 hours of not eating before I take Calorad?
[Reply]
I have collagenous colitis. Will the Calorad affect me in a negative way? Am seriously thinking of trying it.
[Reply]
I’ve used Calorad 12 years ago, with in two days I had more energy and felt fantastic. I used Calorad Orginal for 4 month period & lost 88 lbs… I couldn’t believe that this was so easy for my weight to come off and I’m now passing on my true story to others so you all will have the same experience as I did… I <3 Calorad!
[Reply]
Has anyone else developed joint pain when taking this product? I took it for almost a month but my hip pain that developed was so intense that I stopped. This was over a year ago. 4 days ago I started taking 1000 mg of MSM (Methysulphonlmethane) and the same sort of intense pain returned. Does Calorad contain MSM?
[Reply]
I have been taking Calorad for 1 month. I lost 1″ but no weight. I am wondering if all of you who have lost a lot of weight took it for more than a month. I’m not sure if I should try another month or not. I have taken it at night like it says but sometimes I can’t get to sleep right away. Ive also tried to lay in bed till I’m sleepy to take it, I end of falling asleep and forget to take it, Lol . I’m wondering if I’m taking to long to fall asleep.
[Reply]
I took this fora a montha and lost 6 pounds. But you have to not eat for 3 hours before you go to bed.I was not able to get another bottle for 3 months and am just now going to order another, but I did not gain any weight back.
Hope this helps.
[Reply]
So this is my first week on calorad. I am worried if its going to work or not cuz when me and my husband go to bed I lay awake trying to fall asleep for atleast 20mins sometimes maybe more and I have just been takin it before I lay down. Do i need to lay down before I take it and wait until I’m about to fall asleep then take it?
Also I ordered mine off nodiet.com and I got an email of tips and it says when you take it to hold it under your tongue for 10/15 seconds before swallowing. And a question would it work if you took it and napped?
[Reply]
I have just order my calorad , this will be my first time taking it.I hope it really works, i have try so many different diets.
[Reply]
I started taking Calorad 1 week ago and have lost 2 pounds, but no inches yet. It’s very easy…taking 1 tbs right before falling asleep followed by 8 oz of water…says not to mix in water. I have been sleeping great…very deep sleep and feeling energized in the mornings for the first time in years. I have exercised mon-fri for a year now and have lost inches but no weight. Although I hope to continue losing inches, it’s sure nice to see the number on the scale finally going down. I have tried just about all of the OTC diet meds there is and Calorad is the only one showing results. I can eat whatever I want before 6pm and still see about .2 pounds gone each morning. Like I said, i have lost 2 pounds as of today…my one week weigh in. I will continue to use this. At this rate, I’ll be where I want to be in just a few weeks!
[Reply]
I tried calorad over 20 yrs. ago and it worked for me. Not sure how much I lost, but it was good. In what drugstores in cali can this be purchased. Use to get it from a vitamin store. Now need it for my daughter. Thanks for the information.
[Reply]
Thinking about starting Calorad and i like what im hearing as far as the good things people are saying. But somebody please be honest, will this product send me to the bathroom every 20 minutes?
[Reply]
I have been on calorad for over a month I’m on my second bottle and have not notice any difference, what am I doing wrong?
[Reply]
I have been on the product for 6 months. I started at 290 lbs and I now weigh 200. I cannot exercise since I have a bad heart and PH – bloot clots in my lungs. I slept 16 hours a day. This product balanced my sugar cravings for food and allows me to sleep while waiting for a cure for ph or new lungs. For the bed bound person this is a great product. Only downside is I have lots of extra skin.
[Reply]
Have lost 45 pounds taking Calorad. Now I have reached a plato – haven’t lost any weight in about 3 weeks. What can I do to start loosing again?
[Reply]
I need energy, have sleep apnea, high blood pressure and joint pain, will it really help?
[Reply]
How do u lose inches but not fit any different in clothes? I am confused. Im thinking of taking this product and want to know if it Works
[Reply]
I’ve been taking the calorad for five weeks and I have lost ten inches total but I have not lost any weight. I get that muscle weights more than fat but my clothes aren’t fitting any better either. I work out hard 4-5 days/week for at least an hour. Any advice as to why I’m losing inches but not weight?
[Reply]
This is exactly the same position I am in. I go to the gym or run outside 3-4 times a week and I have not lost any weight and I have been taking the pills for 1 month now. I’m getting discouraged.
[Reply]
The reason why is because it replaces fat with muscle and muscle weighs the same if not more than fat. Therefor u can loose inches just not weight.
[Reply]
I guarantee that a pound of fat and a pound of muscle…both weight a pound! Muscle is more dense..perhaps keeping track of what you are eating would help?
[Reply]
I took the bovine years ago and it seemed to work. After 2 children, I need to go back on it, but I am not sure if it has changed or not. I really need to lose this weight.
[Reply]
i am interested in trying this product but need to know if the comments here are for real
[Reply]
I took Calorad for a short time and lost from 333 pounds in about amonths time.to 289 I want to get down to 150 and with Calorad I know I can. It has been a year and I did not gain it back. Three days ago I started taking it again. I ate banana splits everyday I was on it before and still lost weight. I ate what I wanted in moderation. I trust it and will continue to use until I reach my desired weight.
[Reply]
What actually happens to make you lose weight? Is it like laxative? or does it make you lose your appetite?
[Reply]
I have been on calorad a little over a month now. Although it has a displeasing smell and taste, it makes me feel good every morning. I have lost 11lbs so far and plan to keep going since I have a wedding next summer!!
[Reply]
I take a sleeping pill to go to sleep can i take my medicine with the Calorad? Will it cause it not to work as well?
[Reply]
I have been on Calorad twice and both times I have used sleeping pills. I think it works better as far as taking it right before you fall asleep and haven’t noticed any differences with the sleeping pills either. I went from a size 9/10 to a size 5 the first time I used Calorad
[Reply]
I have been on Calorad for 2 weeks and have noticed more energy and my joint pain going away. I have lost 5 pounds but more inches. Its sometimes hard to wait the 3 hours sometimes we eat dinner past 6. I, hearing ppl write that you take 1 tablespoon but it says 2 capfuls or 3teaspoons/15ml. There is also a suggestion to take 1 teaspoon 15min prior to a meal instead of at bedtime. Anyone try that and does it have the same effect?
It does taste yuk but just down it real fast and drink water right away.
[Reply]
It says to take 3hrs after eating – so if I go to bed at 9pm but eat my final meal at 6pm is that long enough inbetween?
Thanks
[Reply]
Has anyone experienced stomach pains with Calorad? I’ve been on it 2 weeks and my stomach has been hurting alot. Last night I had to get up 4 hours after I went to sleep because my stomach hurt. I ate tums first, then I ate a banana which helped a little?
[Reply]
Do you have to take the Calorad Brovine and Marine together or can you just choose to take just one of them. If so, how would you know which one to choose?
[Reply]
Marine is made from fish protein vs. beef protein….I use the marine.
[Reply]
I just started taking Calorad and the smell isn’t bad, but the taste is awful. It says not to mix in the water, but I noticed some on these people did. Does it really matter?
[Reply]
If I have ulcer of the stomach,can i still take calorad?
[Reply]
I give this product a 5 star rating as well!! Great product!
[Reply]
I used Calorad in 1998 when it was just a 1 bottle formula and I lost 10 lbs in 30 days, but I’m sure that hitting the gym for 2 hrs a day didn’t hurt. A few years later when I tried it again it was a 2 bottle formula and the taste was so awful I couldn’t be bothered with it, plus you shouldn’t have to pay $45 per bottle since they are breaking it up into AM and PM then they should should just charge $45 for both bottles or $27.50 each.
[Reply]
How long does it take for one to see results, like a 60 pound loss result? Explain this in weight loss to how much in a month loss.
[Reply]
It does smell a bit strange, but honestly when you mix 2 cap fulls in about 8 oz of water…it actually has a slightly sweet taste and is easy to drink quickly.
[Reply]
I am using Calorad. My question is can I add a flavor to the water I have to drink during the day. Sometimes I find it hard to drink plain water.
[Reply]
Since Calorad is protein, do you recommend it for somebody who has kidneys problem?
[Reply]
I have been using Calorad for 3 months. The results have been wonderful. I am 64. My skin has rejuvenated and moisturized from inside out. Friends are asking what am I using on my face because they see the difference. Dark liver spots have disappeared .. My nails are stronger and I sleep without aid. I also have lots more energy, I give Calorad 5 stars for benefits. I have lost 10 pounds in 3 months. I get it on Ebay. The seller is very responsible and quick shipper with free S/H at a cost of about $30 a bottle which is like a dollar a day.
[Reply]
would calorad help for my arthiritis
[Reply]
does calarad make you constapated
[Reply]
Not at all!! It is smooth on your system
[Reply]
I have just been taking Calorad for (1) one week and I have begun to notice that the chicken neck skin I was getting is beginning to tighten. I look forward to giving more detail as time goes by…I take mine before bed and at least 3 hours after my final meal by putting ice in a glass then the Calorad then water. I seemed to tolerate it well that way. God Bless
[Reply]
If you notice the difference in 1 week wait till you use it 3 months. It is amazing. My skin feels baby soft ans supple. I love it!! I take 2 cap full followed by a glass of water.God bless you too!
[Reply]
Has anyone tried just drinking water, without taking calorad, on a 3-hr empty stomach and taking a multivitamin? I am wondering if this would have the same effect at less expense.
[Reply]
Is the calorad to be taken mixed with water – or take the tablespoon and drink water behind it – or does it matter -
[Reply]
When I took Calorad I drank it straight and followed it with water. I have to say I’m very skeptical about weight loss products, but I felt wonderful the morning after I took it. I lost weight faster, and I didn’t feel my normal bloated feeling. I am going back on it again.
[Reply]
I pour a tbsp in an 8 oz glass of water. Thats what the instructions on the back of the bottle says. I dont think it tastes very bad either. i think it tastes like watered down Ginger Ale
[Reply]
Just got a new bottle of the Advanced Bovine and it smells like VOMIT; is that how it’s suppose to smell? Should you store it in the fridge? Thx
[Reply]
I thought the same thing, keep it in the fridge. It’s much easier to get down!!!
[Reply]
I used Calorad 12 years ago it was great.The trick is to take it just when you are falling asleep,it works in the first stage in sleep pattern.Do not nap during the day because you will ruin the first stage of sleep. I went from 165
lbs to 128 lbs. Also I watched my diet and walked everyday.Now in 2010 i am once again using it to get rid of my belly fat cause in 2009 I ate too much junk just before bed now i have to get rid of my belly 20lbs of fat.I love Calorad but I know how to use it thanks to a natural pathic dr.
[Reply]
I am wondering where you can order Calorad at? is there a special website that you use?
[Reply]
I am buying it at the drugstore, called drugmart, I don’t know where you live, but it is in several stores.
[Reply]
Hi Sue,
How much do you buy this product for in the drugmart? How long does a bottle last for and does it need to be refrigerated after its been opened? How long did it take you to loose your weight? Also who is your natural pathic dr. Maybe I could talk to to the doctor on this product. Thanks for your help and looking forward ot hearing form you.
