Our assessment
The evidence shows that Genacol Original Liquid Formula AminoLock Collagen contains calcium as an ingredient.

You should be aware of the well-documented risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization, helping maintain bone density and mineral deposition. It also aids in neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific mechanism of the AminoLock Collagen formulation is not available.
