Dr. Alvin Lin answered

Not enough info: I was unable to find much information on calamansi juice aside from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calamondin, certainly no randomized controlled trial published in a peer-reviewed journal. For info w/scientific backing, check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gallstones/basics/definition/con-20020461.
