Herbal Select. I bought it from Walmart.

This is the reply I received:
Good Morning,
I’m not quite sure how to answer your question-I have never seen an article on Cla being a product that pregnant woman should avoid. I had our staff nutritionist do a search for any studies and we came up with none. Do you have a reference that we could look at? Is it that Cla is known for being a part of some diet products? ( they contain other ingredients as well) Cla revs up muscle metabolism increasing lean muscle mass which in turn seems to help some people lose weight-it also has a positive effect on cholesterol. Cla is an essential fatty acid usually derived from sunflower or safflower, although it naturally occurs in dairy products, beef, poultry and eggs ( 1 litre of full fat milk contains over a gram). Scientists estimate that our food supply once contained much higher levels of Cla before the advent of modern agricultural and animal feeding techniques.

I hope this is helpful, let me know if I can further help.

Herbal Select is owned or something by a company called Puresource.
