INSUFFICIENT RELIABLE EVIDENCE to RATE
Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product CLA-1300 Max Potency. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in amounts found in foods. CLA occurs naturally in milk fat, beef, and the meat of other ruminant animals (5924,5925,5932,5933).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately in medicinal amounts of up to 6. 8 grams daily, short-term (2819,2821,3153,4947,10410,11327,111056).
CHILDREN: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally in amounts found in foods.
CLA occurs naturally in milk fat, beef, and the meat of other ruminant animals (5924,5925,5932,5933).
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY SAFE
when used orally and appropriately in medicinal amounts.
Some evidence suggests that CLA 3 grams daily can be taken safely for up to 7 months (45713).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally in amounts found in foods (5924,5932,5933).
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of CLA when used in medicinal amounts during pregnancy or lactation; avoid using.
Below is general information about the interactions of the known ingredients contained in the product CLA-1300 Max Potency. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
Theoretically, CLA may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
 Details
Some clinical evidence suggests that intake of CLA reduces platelet aggregation by approximately 10% (45607). The clinical significance of this effect is unclear.
|
Theoretically, taking CLA with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Details
|
Theoretically, taking black seed with ramipril might increase the risk of hypotension.
Details
Some clinical research shows that CLA enhances the blood pressure-lowering effects of ramipril (45569).

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product CLA-1300 Max Potency. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
General
...Orally, CLA is well tolerated when found in foods.
When taken in medicinal amounts, CLA seems to be well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Diarrhea, dyspepsia, flatulence, loose stools, and nausea.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare) :
Orally: Cases of hepatotoxicity have been reported.
Cardiovascular
...Some preliminary clinical research suggests that the t10,c12 isomer of CLA can decrease high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels (2821).
This isomer of CLA, as well as a mixture of CLA isomers, seems to increase plasma triglyceride levels, the ratio of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol to HDL cholesterol, and the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol (45148,45468), although not all research has identified these effects (107475).
A meta-analysis of 6 randomized, controlled trials shows that administration of CLA in individuals who are overweight or obese significantly increases lipoprotein (a) levels, a value associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Subgroup analyses suggest this increase is more prominent in trials that are longer than 6 months in duration and with CLA doses of at least 3.5 grams daily (107475).
Endocrine ...Orally, CLA has been shown to increase insulin resistance and glucose concentrations, as well as decrease insulin sensitivity in some patients, including obese individuals or patients with type 2 diabetes (2821,13026,45145,45152,45513). Some evidence suggests that this effect is isomer-specific and occurs with only the t10,c12 isomer (2821,13026), while other evidence shows that decreased insulin sensitivity may also occur with the c9,t11 isomer or with a 50:50 mixture of c9,t11 and t10,c12 isomers (45145,45152).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, the most common adverse effect reported with CLA is gastrointestinal upset including diarrhea, constipation, nausea, loose stools, dyspepsia, bloating, and flatulence (3153,4947,45280,45705,45730,111056). Esophageal irritation was reported in one patient who bit open and swallowed a capsule containing CLA (45577).
Hepatic ...Orally, clinical research shows that CLA 3 grams daily for 12 weeks does not affect liver outcome measures (105809). However, there are at least two case reports of hepatotoxicity. Asthenia, jaundice, and pruritus were reported in a 46-year-old female who consumed CLA for two weeks. Abnormal liver enzyme levels returned to normal following discontinuation of CLA supplementation (45483). Hepatotoxicity, presenting as fulminant hepatitis and characterized by anorexia, nausea, jaundice, choluria, and hepatic encephalopathy requiring liver transplantation has also been reported in a 63-year-old female taking a CLA-containing weight-loss supplement for one month (91589).
Musculoskeletal ...Orally, CLA has been reported to cause back ache in one individual in one clinical trial (45787).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, CLA may cause headache or fatigue (3153,45787). In one case report, a 50-year-old female presented with headache and subarachnoid hemorrhage due to reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) after taking a combination product containing green tea, L-carnitine, and CLA for one week. At 28 days after discontinuation of the combination product and surgery, angiography showed complete regression of vascular restrictions (97007). It is unclear if this adverse effect was due to CLA, another ingredient in the product, or a combination of ingredients.
Other ...Orally, CLA has been reported to cause halitosis in one patient in one clinical trial (45839).
