Analysis

CLA 1000 mg by California Gold Nutrition is a Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) supplement available in softgel form. Each serving provides 1000mg of CLA, typically sourced from Safflower Seed Oil. This product aims to support individuals with fitness goals, including muscle gain and weight loss, although scientific research on CLA's direct and significant impact for these goals remains mixed and often indicates modest benefits.

Pros
  • Convenient softgel form for easy consumption.
  • Offers a standard dose of 1000mg of CLA per serving.
  • Offers competitive pricing at $20 per serving.
Cons
  • The scientific evidence regarding CLA's efficacy for significant body composition changes, such as substantial fat loss or muscle gain, is inconsistent and often demonstrates only modest effects in humans.
Warnings
  • CLA supplementation should not be considered a standalone solution for weight loss or muscle gain; effective results necessitate a consistent diet and exercise regimen.
  • Individuals should consult a healthcare professional before taking CLA, especially if they have underlying health conditions, are pregnant/nursing, or are on medication, as potential interactions or side effects exist.
  • Some users may experience mild gastrointestinal upset, nausea, or fatigue, particularly when initiating supplementation or consuming higher doses.

Goals
Weight Loss 70.0
CLA is primarily investigated for its potential to reduce body fat and improve body composition. While some meta-analyses indicate a modest decrease in fat mass, the effects are generally small and individual responses vary, making it a supportive rather than a primary fat loss agent.
Fitness 65.0
While often associated with fitness, CLA's direct impact on general fitness metrics like performance or endurance is not strongly supported. Its role is primarily linked to body composition changes, which are a component of fitness.
Muscle Gain 60.0
Scientific evidence on CLA's ability to promote significant muscle gain, particularly in resistance-trained individuals, is largely inconclusive. Some studies suggest it may help preserve lean mass during weight loss, but not actively build new muscle.
