HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pure CLA 1500 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 (1,200 mg) 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 (1,500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Pure CLA 1500 is a 6-ingredient softgel built around conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a type of fat found naturally in meat and dairy. The product also contains oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, and safflower oil — all fatty acids.

The inactive ingredients are bovine gelatin (the capsule), glycerin, purified water, and caramel color.

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).

The data we hold shows oleic acid is possibly effective for high cholesterol and coronary heart disease. We don't have effectiveness ratings for the other active ingredients in this product, so I can't tell you whether the CLA itself or the other components have established benefits.

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 foods — like olive oil — is generally recognized as safe in normal amounts. At supplement-level doses, though, safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding isn't well established, so there isn't enough information to know either way.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding and want to use this product. No adverse effects are documented in our data.

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 antidiabetes drugs (like metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin), check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. Oleic acid may increase how well these medications work, which could lower your blood sugar more than intended.

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.

Pure CLA 1500 may be worth considering if you're looking for fatty acid support for heart health or cholesterol, but if you take blood sugar medication, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first — oleic acid can strengthen those drugs' effects. Pregnant or breastfeeding?

There isn't enough safety data, so get personalized advice from your own healthcare provider before you start.

Ultra pure CLA

Pure CLA 1500 Ultra high potency

General Statements

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 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.

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.

Pure CLA 1500 by SAN: Common Questions

Does Pure CLA 1500 by SAN interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pure CLA 1500 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?
Pure CLA 1500 contains 4 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.
Will this help my cholesterol or heart health?
The oleic acid in this product is possibly effective for high cholesterol and coronary heart disease, based on the data we hold. That said, we don't have effectiveness ratings for the conjugated linoleic acid or the other ingredients, so I can't speak to the whole formula's benefits.
Is oleic acid the same as what's in olive oil?
Yes — oleic acid is a natural fatty acid found in olive oil and other foods. In those normal food amounts, it's considered safe. This supplement is a concentrated dose, though, so the safety profile isn't as well studied.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data for supplement-level doses of oleic acid during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance on whether it's right for you.
What's inside this product besides the active ingredients?
The capsule itself is bovine gelatin, and the other inactive ingredients are glycerin, purified water, and caramel color — all common binders and colorants.
