Remember something; the double blind studies were based on 3 grams (I believe) a day. Most of the CLA (saf oil) for one pill is 1000mg, but that does not add to one gram (it is not a 1 to 1 ratio); I think it is about 4/5. Thus, buy the brand that the per dosage pill is 1285mg - which equates to 1 gram of actual CLA. This way you only need three pills a day, instead of 4. It does make it easier, especially when you have to remember to take all your other supplements. And, if you take below the 3 grams a day, you are taking below the dosage of that the individuals in the study took. I take mine from WELLNESS Edge - but there are others out there that offer the higher dosage.
Here is what I looked like before I took the CLA and straightened up my diet.
