Star Nutrition ® | CLA Supplement | Highly Concentrated Conjugated Linoleic Acid Dietary Supplement | 90 Capsules | 30 Day Supply | Unflavored

My partner has used CLA supplements similar to this for a while and so was very happy to give them a try. After switching to these from his regular ones initially he's been very pleased with them as hasn't noticed any decrease in effectiveness compared to his usual ones.However it's worth pointing out that you absolutely need to stick to a minimum dose of 3 grams a day for the best benefits of actual weight-loss to be activated - taking less is no different from flushing these down the toilet and completely wasting your money if weight-loss is your goal as less than this simply won't activate the effect, though there is still the benefit of the omega 6 in general of course. If you supplement with these/similar already you no doubt know how this works already but if not and it's your first time using them then ignore any ideas about just taking 1 or 2 for weight loss as you will experience no benefits - it's biologically impossible as the body requires the minimum amount of 3g proven by studies to be effective/for the process to be activated for muscle retention and fat-burning and if you take less than this then you're very literally wasting your money other than getting some extra omega 6, which is better achieved through increasing meat and eggs in your diet if that's your goal.If you stick to the guidelines and recommended minimum dose for weight-loss (do your research if in doubt to confirm this is safe as you can actually safely take up to 6g a day, but my partner sticks to 3g) which works out to the dose recommended on the bottle of 3 of these a day then these would last a month, but they're pretty cheap compared to some I've seen so I consider them to still be good value. They also seem a very safe and confident option as they've been developed with an understanding of one of the key principal of CLA being effective for weight-loss (I've seen a fair few now that advertised weight loss effects whilst they;re recommended dose only amounted to half or less of the required amount) so I'd recommend them on that front too as they clearly know what they're doing.

These capsules are large, and compared to other CLA I have tried quite rich in content. Taking three of these a day I have only had one undesirable reaction - a few spots on my cheek, though these faded quite fast but I do strongly believe they are a minor side effect in my case, thankfully it seems to be a rare occurrence. Currently I am following a controlled diet and exercise regime and I take these in combination with my meals to help me reach my goals, and am seeing good results. I had some experience with CLA before though it was not to the same high strength as these and I had not paired that intake with an effective diet and routine exercise. These supplements are well contained and nicely sealed for some confidence out of the container - each capsule uniform and I found them coated well for swallowing though I don't usually have issues swallowing capsules or tablet supplements. Weight wise I am seeing a consistent and steady results, and I am getting closer to my ideal weight each day. I would recommend these if you are going to be exercising daily with consideration to a controlled diet - don't think of less food, think more of the right foods and none of the worst food, especially if you want to reach your ideal shape and learn how to maintain that shape.

Its always hard to review supplements as gains are typically minimal unless there is a chronic condition. However, when a supplement comes out for weight loss/control/fat burn etc. it really needs to have a noticeable benefit, that's the only reason its being taken. The main reason for just 3 stars, I didn't notice any difference from taking these, other than 3 extra capsules to take each day (and you have to take them through out the day not in one go so that's a pain as well). I cardio and weight train 3 times a week (I have 1 of my bedrooms kitted out as a gym so lockdown had 0 impact on my ability to train and exercise). I didn't notice any weight loss on the scales or via sight, I cant say I noticed a drop in appetite either. I am not saying these don't work, maybe some of my inside fat went...? I am just saying that I saw no difference and wouldn't bother to get them again.

It's hard to say yet if they are working or not yet.So far no adverse effects.I was intrigued by the "reducing the appetite" notion, especially so in winter when we all want to comfort eat constantly I thought that might be a fab thing. I don't feel I have been having as many cravings but that might be down to other factors, although who knows.I am quite slim and I don't expect to be taking these pills and suddenly become super lean and fitness model muscly without any effort. But I have been doing much more cardio and weights recently therefore thought I would try it out.What it is: highly conjugated linoleum acid - Clarinol.Clarinol is helpful in reducing the amount of body fat, increasing the lean muscle mass. (That sounds great if you are exercising to get lean and strong, but if you are mostly sitting on the couch it might be just a waste of money.)90 capsules, 30 days supplyEach capsule contains 1000mg of ClarinolIngredients: Clarinol, bovine gelatin, stabilizer, glycerol (capsule) and tocopherol-rich extracts (antioxidants)So far I cannot confirm any adipose fat reduction although the appetite suppression might be in action. I will update when I use them up.Little con: I would be happier if these capsules were be vegan.
