Advanced Research Clinic Conjugated Linoleic Acid-Review
Product Claims of Advanced Research Clinic Conjugated Linoleic Acid
Today we review Advanced Research Clinic Conjugated Linoleic Acid. This specially formulated CLA supplement will help you target that stubborn fat around your midsection. By also lowering cholesterol and increasing lean muscle tissue, this supplement will help you reach your weight loss goals.
Ingredients
- Safflower Seed Oil (80% CLA)
- Gelatin
- Glycerin
- Natural Caramel Color
- Purified Water
While this supplement does have CLA as its first ingredient, it is only standardized to 80%. Clinical research shows that, for maximum results, the CLA in this type of supplement should be standardized to 85%. While this supplement does claim to be free of artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives, it does have artificial color, which is an unnecessary additive.
Dosage Instructions
On the manufacturer’s website, the only dosing information available states that the daily dose of this supplement provides 1,000 mg of CLA. We found that Amazon states you should take 1-2 capsules with breakfast and another 1-2 capsules with dinner. Unfortunately, it is unclear, exactly how many capsules will allow you to reach that 1,000 mg daily dose. Additionally, our research shows that the optimal daily dose is 2,000 mg of this nutrient daily in order to see the most amount of weight lost.
Cost and Guarantee
This product is not available for purchase directly from the manufacturer’s website. Instead, they use Amazon as their online storefront. One 90 capsule bottle costs $27.97 and includes free shipping. There are no available discounts listed, which keeps the price of this product fairly high.
Also, while the manufacturer states that satisfaction is guaranteed, there is no information regarding a money back guarantee. We think the transparency of this information is important, and the lack of transparency about how to file a claim with their guarantee is worrisome.
Lastly, the reviews of this supplement on Amazon were very mixed. Over 25% of reviews were negative. Many people said this supplement offered them absolutely no additional weight loss from what they experienced before starting these capsules. This raises our concerns about the true effectiveness of this product.
Summary Of Our Advanced Research Clinic Conjugated Linoleic Acid Review
There are a few things we liked about Advanced Research Clinic Conjugated Linoleic Acid. The dosing instructions seem flexible, which allow you to change your personal dose, depending on your needs. Also, while there are no discounts available for this product, the price does include free shipping.
We did, however, find many flaws regarding this supplement. The CLA used in these capsules is only standardized to 80%, not the optimal 85%. Additionally, the daily dose is only half that of other supplements and each capsule contains artificial colors. Their satisfaction guarantee has no information provided, so it is difficult to know how to go about claiming a refund for unused product. Lastly, with so many negative customer reviews, we seriously are concerned about whether or not this product works. For these reasons, we cannot recommend this supplement to help you lose that stubborn belly fat.
