[PRODUCT]744[/PRODUCT] In the product description is says:

"2 grams of CLA Oil Powder is equal in isomers to 1 gram of CLA Oil. "

Well, first CLA is considered a fat, right? So does two grams of the CLA powder has 9 calories or 18 calories?

I would say it has around 18 calorie's.But this product is okay but u won't really notice anything different. I rather go for some EFA's like omega 3, 6 and 9.My favorite one from all this. is the omega 3 from fish oil.The thing I hate is the fish burp's u get from it but is a great oil.

IMO CLA is overhyped. Fish Oil and Sesathin are where its at as far as fats (and lingans) Maybe GLA, but Fish Oil for sure.

Yep, just like I said FISH OIL, the best. And just like I said before u won't like the burp's.But this is the best oil u should read the research they made on it.There's an article on this website about it.And CLA I would not get it.

I'm pretty sure the powder is maltodextrin, which is 4 calories per gram. So 2 grams would be one gram malto, one gram CLA for a total of 13 calories.
