Potential Health Benefits

CLA is known to have health benefits when consumed naturally in food. However, getting it from supplements in high doses is more controversial. More on that later.

The main potential health benefit that supplement manufacturers boast about CLA having is weight loss.

One of the early studies on CLA found that it reduced body fat levels in mice, possibly in part by reducing fat deposition and by enhancing fatty oxidation in cells. (1)

Other studies in mice found that CLA promoted weight loss by increasing metabolism, decreasing appetite, and increased energy expenditure, among others. (2) (3) (4)

There are several studies done in people that indicated CLA was associated with fat loss. (5) (6) (7) (8) One of these studies did report “mild gastrointestinal adverse events”, which is worth taking into consideration.

On the other hand, some studies showed little to no difference among people who took CLA compared to placebo. (9) (10) (11)

In terms of other health benefits, some studies indicate that CLA may be associated with a lower risk of disease. (12) (13) (14) Additional research is required.

Dosage

The label on this product states that a standard dose is 1 capsule and that the maximum dose is 3 capsules. However, we recommend only taking one.

When to Take It

If you get an upset stomach easily, it’s best to take this supplement with food and drink, as it is made with a soft gel.

Product Overview

In terms of being a CLA supplement, NatureWise Elite 95% CLA 1300 is worth considering. The only larger qualm we have with it is the dosage probably doesn’t need to be as high as it is.

Other than that, NatureWise is a reputable company that’s been manufacturing supplements for some time, which provides some peace of mind.

The consumer reviews available online on this product are somewhat similar to what the scientific studies indicate. Some people benefit from this product and others do not.

We think this product is worthy of trying, but it’s best to be realistic about the results it may provide. Lastly, if you’re thinking about trying this product, check with your doctor first.
