The following is a review for a product called CLA 1500. This dietary supplement is a great option for people who want to build muscle and burn fat. CLA is the abbreviation for conjugated linoleic acid, which is a fatty acid that is naturally found in meat and dairy products and can be extracted from extra virgin safflower oil. If conjugated linoleic acid is used in conjunction with a calorie restricted diet and a strict exercise program it can help you significantly reduce the percentage of fat present in the body. In addition to being an effective weight loss aid, use of this supplement has been associated with benefits to the cardiovascular system.
Ingredients
- Conjugated Linoleic Acid
- Palmitic
- Stearic
- Oleic
- Other fatty acids
- Bovine gelatin
- Vegetable Glycerin
- Water
- Color
Although this seems like a relatively good list of ingredients there were a few things we found concerning. Although the CLA included in this supplement is extracted from plant material the gelatin in this product is made from beef. This means that the product is not suitable for individuals who adhere to a strict vegan diet.
Dosage
The manufacturer of this product recommends that the average adult take one or softgels once or twice daily. According to our research, this may be slightly problematic, the optimum dosage of CLA is 2000mg. If you take one capsule of this product daily you are not meeting your daily requirement. However, if you take one capsule twice daily you exceed the recommended daily dosage of this product.
Price
This product is available to purchase on the manufacturer’s website for $14.95 for a bottle that contains 60 soft gels. This will provide you with enough of this supplement to last you one to two months. Unfortunately, the manufacturer of this product does not offer any special offers or discounts for this product on their online store.
Guarantee
Unfortunately, the manufacturer of this product does not offer any guarantees or refund policies. We found this rather concerning as it shows a lack of respect for the consumer. Additionally, we believe that a company who offers a guarantee on their product is confident in their products and the claims they make. They are thus not afraid to assure their customers that they will be reimbursed if they are unhappy with the quality of the product.
Conclusion – CLA 1500
In this review of CLA 1500, we found that this product may be quite effective for supporting the body in the fat burning process. This product is relatively well priced and easy to buy. However, this product is not suitable for all people to use. The manufacturer does not make any consumer reviews available for people to look at when deciding if they want to purchase this product. Additionally, there is no information available regarding third party testing which was completed for this product which means the quality, effectiveness, and safety of this product is not confirmed.
