HelloPharmacist Scorecard of CLA 1000 mg by BioGanix

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Conjugated Linoleic Acid” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

CLA 1000 mg contains five active ingredients, all fatty acids: conjugated linoleic acid (the primary ingredient that gives this product its name), along with stearic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid. These are delivered in a softgel capsule with gelatin, glycerin, and purified water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Oleic Acid's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support healthy weight loss and lean muscle mass.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, body composition, metabolic health, weight management.
  • The closest evidence on file: Oleic Acid is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

Oleic acid in this product has been rated possibly effective for high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and possibly effective for heart disease risk (coronary heart disease). We hold no effectiveness data in our system for the other fatty acids in this formula.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Oleic acid is generally recognized as safe when you consume it in normal food amounts — olive oil is a common dietary source. However, concentrated supplement doses of oleic acid haven't been well studied in pregnancy or breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, there isn't enough safety data to know whether a supplement-level dose is appropriate, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice. No adverse effects were reported in the data we hold for this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Oleic Acid

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Oleic Acid.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check your antidiabetes medications (drugs that lower blood sugar) before taking this product. Oleic acid may increase their effects, which means your blood sugar could drop lower than expected.

Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you whether that's a concern for your specific situation and dosage.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

CLA 1000 mg may interest you if you're looking to support cholesterol or heart health, based on the possibly effective rating for oleic acid. If you take diabetes medication, check your exact drugs with the tool on this page before starting — the oleic acid could strengthen blood sugar-lowering effects.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this to your routine, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or on any prescription medication.

Oleic Acid1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, oleic acid might increase the effects of antidiabetes drugs. Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes taking oral hypoglycemic drugs shows that eating a diet rich in oleic acid from olive oil decreases fasting blood glucose levels when compared to eating a diet rich in linoleic acid from sunflower oil. It is unknown if taking oleic acid supplements would have this effect or if this change is clinically significant. Until more is known, use caution. Dose adjustment may be necessary. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

CLA 1000 mg by BioGanix: Common Questions

Does CLA 1000 mg by BioGanix interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, CLA 1000 mg has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
CLA 1000 mg contains 5 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is CLA and what does it do in my body?
CLA stands for conjugated linoleic acid — it's a type of fat found naturally in meat and dairy. This product contains CLA along with other fatty acids like oleic acid. The oleic acid has been rated possibly effective for supporting cholesterol levels and heart health, but we don't have effectiveness data for the other fatty acids in the formula.
Will this affect my diabetes medication?
The oleic acid in this product may increase the effects of antidiabetes drugs based on preliminary research. That means your blood sugar could drop lower than expected. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting to make sure the product and your current dose work safely together.
Is this safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Food amounts of oleic acid are considered safe, but we don't have enough safety data for concentrated supplement doses in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your doctor or pharmacist can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
What's in the capsule besides the fatty acids?
The softgel is made from gelatin, glycerin, and purified water. These are inactive ingredients that help deliver the active fatty acids.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
No adverse effects are reported in the data we hold for this product. That said, any new supplement can affect how you feel — if you notice anything unusual after starting it, let your pharmacist or doctor know.
