HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pure CLA 1250 by SAN

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 10, 2026

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 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Conjugated Linoleic Acid” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “ultra pure highly concentrated Safflower Oil” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1.25 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

Pure CLA 1250 contains six active ingredients centered on conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) — a naturally occurring fatty acid — along with oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid, which are different types of fats. These ingredients come from a highly concentrated safflower oil blend.

The product also contains inactive ingredients (gelatin, glycerin, purified water, and caramel) that make up the softgel capsule.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Oleic Acid's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Oleic Acid for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Coronary heart disease (CHD) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hypercholesterolemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Oleic acid in this product is rated possibly effective for high cholesterol and coronary heart disease. The data we hold on the other active ingredients — the various forms of conjugated linoleic acid and the other fatty acids — does not establish an effectiveness rating, so the evidence for their benefits isn't confirmed in our records.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Oleic Acid

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 from food sources like olive oil is generally well tolerated in normal amounts. However, concentrated supplement doses of oleic acid haven't been studied well in pregnancy or breastfeeding, so the safety data isn't clear at those higher levels.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.

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.

If you take any antidiabetes drugs or diabetes medications, check your exact medication names with the search tool on this page — oleic acid may increase their effects and lower your blood sugar. We could not check several other ingredients in this product for interactions, so run all your medications through the tool before you start.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This product may be worth considering if you're interested in CLA and fatty acid support, but it's especially important to check with your own doctor or pharmacist first if you take any diabetes medication — oleic acid can enhance how those drugs work. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, get personalized advice from your healthcare provider before starting.

General Statements

Description: CLA or Conjugated Linolenic Acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid in animal tissue and food sources, including beef, poultry, eggs and dairy products such as cheeses, milk and yogurt.

CLA was discovered by accident in 1978 by Michael W. Pariza at the University of Wisconsin while looking for mutagen formations in meat during cooking. While small amounts can be obtained through your diet, supplementation may have been a substantial impact on how effectively our body chemically decomposes and deposits fat in our cells. Some of the more recent research has shown that use of CLA has proven to be extremely effective in reducing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass.

SAN products are manufactured under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards with stringent quality control guidelines.

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.
