Check It Out: CLAmor CLA Dietary Supplement

By: Lindsey Unterberger

These days, everything seems to come in a spray bottle variety. The AquaNet obsession of the '80s might have gone the way of big perms, but flexible-hold hairspray, spray-on tans and Pam (the spray-on butter) are still in full effect. Even spray-on lotions, which were never that great of an idea to begin with, are still on shelves.

But we're willing to bet our lifetime gym memberships that you'll never guess the newest spray-on product to come across our desks.

As if diet pills weren't controversial enough, one dietary supplement has morphed into a spray bottle under the guise of added flavoring for your food. Yes, CLAmor Weight Management says you can actually have your cake and eat it, too. Craving butter on your popcorn but think it's the cardinal sin for your diet? The butter flavor spray supposedly conquers your craving and helps you lose those unwanted pounds. The supplement also comes in olive oil, plain and garlic flavors. Spray directly on food or even ‑- gasp! ‑- straight into your mouth.

The bottle claims the sprays will decrease body fat, increase lean muscle and support weight management. Apparently CLAmor contains Clarinol CLA, which has been said to be a natural weight management ingredient that will help you reach your weight loss goals in eight to twelve weeks. Of course, that's when used in conjunction with healthy eating and exercise... and a disclaimer on the label warns that the weight loss benefits have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Hmmm, so much for a miracle cure.
