The manufacturer does not mention if there are any additives, fillers or binders included in this supplement.

Summary Of Our Cell Nutritionals Conjugated Linoleic Acid Review
In concluding our Cell Nutritionals CLA review we were encouraged by several factors about this supplement. It is priced well at $11.93 for a month's supply of capsules and contains natural ingredients. The product is let down in a number of areas however. This product only contains a 74-80% concentration of CLA, which might not provide optimum benefits, and is lower than competitor brands. Flat rate U.S. shipping is $4.95, and only free if you order over $99 in products from the company website. In terms of ingredients, the capsules may contain animal gelatin and would be unsuitable for vegetarians and vegans. The dosage instructions do not specify if there is a preferred time of day for taking this supplement or if it is ok to take both capsules in one sitting. The manufacturer does not mention if there are any additives, fillers or binders included in this supplement, nor if the product is made in an FDA certified facility and if it is non GMO. There is no manufacturer's guarantee or return rebate. The company website offers almost no information on who this supplement is aimed at, and what potential side effects there are when using this supplement. For all the above reasons, and despite some positive aspects, we suggest that you look elsewhere for a CLA supplement.
