AST Sports Science CLA 1000-Review
Product Claims of AST Sports Science CLA 1000
Today we review AST Sports Science CLA 1000. Not only does this supplement claim to help with weight loss, but it will also help grow lean muscles. With the addition of antioxidant and immune benefits, this supplement will help athletes stay healthy.
Ingredients
Each serving of this supplement contains 2250 mg of Conjugated Linoleic Acid, or CLA. The CLA is standardized to a minimum 75%. This is lower than the optimal 85% standardization used in clinical studies. Additionally, with other supplements offering only 2000 mg of CLA, this high dose could be too much. The extra CLA in this supplement is unneeded and will not offer more support as opposed to those supplements offering a higher standard percentage with a slightly lower amount of this nutrient.
Dosage Instructions
The only dosing instructions we were able to find in regards to this product is that the daily serving size is 3 capsules and that this supplement should be taken once daily. This information seems incomplete to us, since there are no specific directions. The time of day as well as whether or not to take this supplement with food or water is not listed and could pose real problems when determining the effectiveness of these capsules.
Cost and Guarantee
Each bottle contains 90 capsules, which should provide a one month supply. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price is $32.95, while this supplement is available for purchase on their website for only $23.99. There are no additional discounts available for this product, like a bulk discount or even free shipping for large orders.
While researching this product, we came across no information at all regarding a manufacturer’s guarantee or even a return policy. While their contact page is easy to navigate and offers the contact information for several departments within the company, returns and refunds are not a department with information listed. Should you be unsatisfied with this product, it seems like it will be extremely difficult to even request a refund, let alone know what is expected should they offer you your money back.
Summary Of Our AST Sports Science CLA 1000 Review
There are a few things we liked about AST Sports Science CLA 1000. First of all, the pricing of this supplement is average, meaning that it is not expensive when compared to some of its competitors. Secondly, there is a lot of contact information listed for this company, allowing easy contact should you have any questions.
Unfortunately, we had a lot of concerns when researching this product. The standardization of the CLA used is only 75%, instead of the optimal 85%. Also, the daily dose of CLA is higher than it needs to be. Next, the dosing instructions are extremely unclear, and much of the needed information is not specified anywhere on the website or on the supplement’s packaging. Lastly, there is no manufacturer’s guarantee or return policy listed, which will make it difficult to request a refund, should you be unhappy with your purchase. For these reasons, we cannot recommend this supplement to help you build leaner muscles and lose excess fat.
