Ingredients and Mechanism of Action
As you might guess, CLA Extreme is based on conjugated linoleic acid, otherwise known as CLA. It also contains l-carnitine, guarana, and green tea. However, it contains such low amounts of each, that it is unlikely to provide the desired results. CLA requires 700mg to promote some weight loss. However, it requires about 3000mg to 4500mg to promote lean muscle maintenance and the serious weight loss CLA Extreme talks about. CLA Extreme uses 750mg. Likewise, experts suggest anywhere from 100mg to 300mg of green tea to provide weight loss results. CLA Extreme uses 50mg.

Overall Impression of CLA Extreme:
Though it starts off well, CLA is nothing more than an underpowered supplement that will do nothing for your weight loss goals. It has the right ingredients, but the wrong amounts of each, which is probably why, although it retails for a little over $30, some retailers sell it for around $16.99.
