To tell you the truth I never really though of CLA as a supplement for vegetarians. But, it makes complete sense since most people receive their CLA through the meats they eat.

CLA is derived from safflower seed oil, well at least for companies who use high quality ingredients. Most CLA manufacturers only use a proprietary blend of CLA, which consists of a combination of safflower and sunflower seed oil, basically it’s just a diluted formula.

It’s not a miracle supplement that will miraculously make you lose weight on it’s own, but for under $20, it’s a definite no brainner to add to anyone’s supplement collection.

I stacked mine with a decent protein powder and a healthy fitness program and noticed some decent muscle gains while reducing fat.

I purchased mine through this http://Wellnesspartners.com/ for something like $17.99. They have one of the better formulas, which is 1,285mg a capsule. Most companies use 1,000mg.

Hope this helped

There is indeed a CLA from a botanical source, it is called Omega 5.

Omega-5 oil is extraced from the seeds of pomegranates and can be purchased in the form of oil in a bottle or soft gel caps.

This company: http://www.pomega5.com also make great skin care out of Omega 5.

I love the POMEGA5 Healing Cream, my friends use it for their cellulite problems.

Try their gel caps.
