HelloPharmacist Scorecard of CLA by Dymatize Nutrition
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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This product has 5 active ingredients: Stearic Acid, Oleic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Conjugated Linoleic Acid, and a CLA Blend. The inactive ingredients are gelatin, glycerine, purified water, and caramel — these are used as the capsule shell and thickener.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a type of fat found in beef and dairy; oleic acid is a monounsaturated fat common in olive oil. Stearic acid and palmitic acid are other fatty acids included in the formula.
Does it work?
Not established
Oleic acid — one of the ingredients in this product — is rated possibly effective for high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and coronary heart disease. The evidence isn't yet strong enough to be called definitively effective, but the data we hold does suggest a benefit.
For the other active ingredients, we don't hold effectiveness ratings, so we can't tell you whether they work for any particular condition based on the data available to us.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Oleic acid from food sources like olive oil is generally recognized as safe in normal amounts. However, concentrated supplement doses haven't been well studied in pregnancy or during breastfeeding — the safety data we hold isn't robust enough to say either way.
If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. No adverse effects were reported in the data we hold.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take any antidiabetes drug (blood sugar medication) — including metformin, sulfonylureas, insulin, or any other type — double-check it with us before starting this product, because oleic acid may increase its effects.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.
If you take a blood sugar medication, check with us or your pharmacist before using this product — oleic acid may strengthen its effect. If you don't take antidiabetes drugs, the documented safety profile is reassuring, though the product hasn't been extensively studied in pregnancy.
Most people seem to tolerate it well.

CLA by Dymatize Nutrition Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Dymatize Nutrition's CLA does have one documented interaction to be aware of.
Oleic acid, one of the active ingredients, may increase the effects of antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications). Preliminary research in people with type 2 diabetes suggests that diets rich in oleic acid lower fasting blood glucose compared to other oil types — which means if you're taking a medication to lower your blood sugar, this ingredient could theoretically make that medication work harder.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
We couldn't check the safety data for Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Conjugated Linoleic Acid, or the CLA Blend itself — we don't hold monographs for those ingredients. Safflower seed Oil is listed as a blend container, so its individual components are covered separately.
Altogether, these interactions span 86 individual medications.
If you take any antidiabetes drug, run your exact medication through the search tool on this page before starting. If you're not sure whether your drug falls into that category, ask your pharmacist — we can help you check.

For each ingredient in CLA with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Safflower seed Oil
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
High doses of safflower oil might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Small clinical studies show that taking safflower oil, approximately 55 grams daily for 2-3 weeks, decreases platelet aggregation. However, taking lower doses of safflower oil, such as 5 grams daily for 4 weeks, does not seem to affect platelet function. In one case report, a 74-year-old male stabilized on warfarin developed urinary tract bleeding and an elevated INR after taking a safflower extract 20 grams daily for 14 days.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, safflower oil might alter the effects of antidiabetes drugs.
Some clinical research shows that taking safflower oil 10 grams daily for 3 weeks can increase fasting blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, clinical research in patients with metabolic syndrome with or without impaired glucose tolerance shows that taking safflower oil 8 grams daily for 12 weeks reduces fasting glucose levels by around 8 mg/dL. Some clinical research also shows that taking safflower oil 8 grams daily for 16 weeks does not affect fasting glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Warfarin
Theoretically, safflower oil might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin.
In one case report, a 74-year-old male stabilized on warfarin developed urinary tract bleeding and an elevated INR after taking a safflower extract 20 grams daily for 14 days.
