Freya raised her hand "It's a gelatin, Professor. Gelatin is collagen that has been irreversibly hydrolyzed. We used it because without collagen, even though we may be able to digest calcium to the point that it gets into our bloodstream. Without collagen in the bone tissue, there is nothing to hold calcium in our bones when the blood travels through." she said and lowering her hand.
