Bio Nutrition CLA 1500-Review
Product Claims of Bio Nutrition CLA 1500
Today we review Bio Nutrition CLA 1500. Made from cold pressed, extra virgin safflower oil, this CLA supplement claims to help you lose weight in a healthy way. This nutrient has also been shown to help with cardiovascular health as well.
Ingredients
The only main ingredient in this supplement is 1500 mg of Conjugated Linoleic Acid per serving. It is not stated what the standardization of the CLA in these capsules is, which raises concerns. The optimal dose, as shown by clinical research shows that CLA supplements should have CLA that is standardized to 85%. Without knowing this percentage, this supplement could be extremely ineffective. Additionally, the recommended intake of CLA is 2000 mg per day. With each serving providing only 1500 mg, this supplement may not give you the weight loss effects you are hoping for.
Dosage Instructions
Each dose is 2 capsules. You should take one or two doses per day, before a meal. If you decide to stay with only one dose, you will only be getting the 1500 mg of CLA daily, which is less than the best effective dose. With two daily doses, however, you will be getting much more than the recommended daily intake of this nutrient. When taking so much more of any ingredient, this could pose many additional problems. Before taking this supplement, especially at two doses per day, you should consult with your healthcare physician.
Cost and Guarantee
One bottle of 60 softgels costs only $14.95. While this is much cheaper than other CLA products we have researched, this product becomes much more expensive if you make the decision to take two doses per day. With those two doses, each bottle will only last for half of a month, which makes the total monthly price $29.90. At this price, there are cheaper alternatives for this supplement. Shipping is an additional flat rate of %5.99 unless your purchase reaches over $49, in which you will receive free shipping.
While the manufacturer does offer a satisfaction guarantee, the information on the website is confusing. The company says they offer a full refund if you return your products within 30 days of purchase with a receipt and explanation of your satisfaction, but in another part of their returns page, they state that any items returned will incur a 10% restocking fee plus and shipping and handling charges. It is also noted that only one refund will be offered per household. With both the money back guarantee plus the statement of the additional fees, it is unclear how to request a full refund should you not see the results you were hoping for with this supplement.
Summary Of Our Bio Nutrition CLA 1500 Review
There are a few things we liked about Bio Nutrition CLA 1500. If you take only one daily dose of this supplement, the price is much cheaper than its competitors. Also, you can take advantage of free shipping on larger orders.
Unfortunately, we did find many concerns when researching this supplement. Not only is the standardization of the CLA not stated, but the daily dose is 500 mg less than what has been recommended from clinical research. Both of these can have a serious negative result on how effective this supplement actually is at helping you lose weight. Additionally, while the price per bottle is cheap, if you choose to take two doses per day, the monthly price doubles, which makes this supplement more expensive than its competitors. Lastly, the information provided for returns and the satisfaction guarantee have conflicting information, which makes it difficult to know how to request your money back if you find yourself unhappy with your purchase. For these reasons, we cannot recommend this supplement.
