Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What's the difference between CLA 60%, 75%, and 80%?

The 60%/75%/80% difference reflects total CLA content measured via GC. 80% is positioned for premium applications; 75% is the standard supplement specification; 60% is suitable for powder formulations with carriers.

Q2: What are the c9,t11 and t10,c12 isomers?

CLA isomers are positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid. The 50:50 c9,t11 / t10,c12 ratio is the most studied and effective for body composition positioning.

Q3: Can CLA be combined with other ingredients?

CLA is commonly combined with Green Tea Extract (EGCG), L-Carnitine, and Chromium in body composition formulations. We recommend consulting with your formulation team.

Q4: What's the regulatory status in the EU?

CLA is permitted as a novel food ingredient in the EU per EC 258/97 / 2015/2283. Specific regulatory status depends on intended application and labeling.

Q5: How is CLA content measured?

CLA content is quantified via Gas Chromatography (GC) with FID detection per AOCS / industry-standard methods. Individual isomers are resolved.

Q6: What's the typical MOQ?

Standard MOQ is 25 kg. Smaller quantities (5-10 kg) are available for evaluation.

Q7: Do you offer custom specifications?

Yes. Custom specifications (e.g., specific isomer ratio, oil/powder form, packaging) can be discussed with our coordination team.

Q8: What documentation is available?

Standard documentation includes COA, MSDS, allergen statement, Non-GMO statement. Additional documentation available upon request from production partners.
