Modere Shape Chocolate: the world’s first CLA + Collagen/HA Matrix® liquid for body composition + skin + joints
60-Second Verdict
Shape is the AU version of Modere’s award-winning Trim — the formula is identical, the name is local. The hero is the combination of two patented technologies: CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) from safflower oil (78% concentration), studied for its supportive role in body composition, and the multi-patented Liquid BioCell® Collagen/HA Matrix® — the same patented matrix used across the Liquid BioCell range, supporting skin firmness, joint comfort, and connective tissue. One tablespoon (15 mL) daily, 30 servings per 450 mL bottle, decadent chocolate flavour. 99.9% sugar-free, keto-friendly, gluten-free, dairy-free. Designed to be used alongside a calorie-responsible diet and regular activity.
★★★★★
Two patented technologies, one tablespoon
Shape was the first product to combine CLA (a fatty acid studied for body composition) with the Liquid BioCell® Collagen/HA Matrix® (a patented collagen + chondroitin + hyaluronic acid technology). Most weight management products neglect the body composition / skin trade-off — people lose weight and end up with sagging skin. Shape is built around the premise that you can support both at the same time.
★★★★★
CLA from safflower oil, not synthetic
Shape’s CLA comes from cold-pressed safflower oil standardised to 78% conjugated linoleic acid — one of the cleanest and most widely-studied dietary CLA sources. It’s a naturally-occurring fatty acid (also found in grass-fed beef and dairy) that has been studied for its supportive role in fat metabolism.
★★★★★
Keto-friendly & 99.9% sugar-free
Shape is built for low-carb and ketogenic eating patterns — the safflower-CLA base provides energy without spiking insulin, and the formula contains 99.9% no sugar. Many keto users incorporate Shape directly into their morning routine.
Why ‘weight loss’ without thinking about body composition is the wrong goal
Most weight management products optimise for the scale — the number going down — without considering what kind of mass you’re actually losing. In aggressive calorie restriction, a significant portion of weight loss is lean muscle and connective tissue, not just fat. The visible result is skin that doesn’t bounce back, joints that feel less cushioned, and a body that ‘looks thinner but feels older.’ This is the unspoken trade-off behind most rapid weight loss approaches, and it’s why people often regain weight quickly afterwards — their metabolic muscle mass has dropped, so their maintenance calorie needs have dropped too.
Shape was designed around a different question: can we support healthier body composition (the fat-to-lean ratio) without losing skin firmness and joint comfort along the way? The CLA component supports fat metabolism in a way that’s studied to favour fat over lean tissue. The Collagen/HA Matrix® component simultaneously supplies the building blocks for skin, joints, and connective tissue — so you’re supporting the body composition shift AND the structural integrity at the same time. Used consistently alongside a calorie-responsible diet and exercise, Shape is positioned as a smarter long-term tool than a single-mechanism ‘fat burner.’
What’s in each 15 mL serve of Shape Chocolate
Shape’s ingredient list is short by design — the hero work is done by the safflower-CLA and the Collagen/HA Matrix®.
| Ingredient | Role | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Purified water | Solvent base | Liquid delivery vehicle. Purified by reverse osmosis. |
| Safflower oil (30% of formula, 78% CLA) | Hero ingredient | Cold-pressed safflower oil standardised to 78% conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). CLA is a naturally-occurring fatty acid studied for its supportive role in body composition, fat metabolism, and lean muscle preservation during calorie restriction. |
| Hydrolysed collagen type II (Liquid BioCell® 3.5%) | Matrix technology | The patented Liquid BioCell® Collagen/HA Matrix®: 60% hydrolysed collagen + 20% chondroitin sulfate + 10% hyaluronic acid, from chicken cartilage. Supports skin firmness, joint comfort, and connective tissue while you’re working on body composition. |
| Glycerin | Texture / emulsifier | Plant-derived glycerin. Helps emulsify the oil + water + collagen blend into a stable, palatable liquid. |
| Chocolate flavour (cocoa powder) | Taste | Cocoa powder (Dutch-processed) provides the chocolate flavour and adds naturally occurring cocoa polyphenols. |
| Steviol glycosides + monk fruit (natural sweeteners) | Sweetening | Zero-calorie plant-derived sweeteners. No sugar, no artificial sweeteners. The 99.9% sugar-free positioning is what makes Shape keto-compatible. |
Modere Shape vs Burn vs Curb: which weight-management tool suits you?
All three are in Modere’s AU weight management range, but they work on totally different mechanisms. Many committed users combine them.
| Criterion | Modere Shape | Modere Burn / Curb |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | CLA fatty acid + Collagen/HA Matrix — body composition + skin + joints | Burn: thermogenic (caffeine). Curb: GLP-1 + appetite/satiety support. |
| Format | Liquid, 1 tbsp daily morning | Burn: capsule, 2×daily. Curb: powder stick before main meal. |
| Contains caffeine? | No | Burn: yes (154.8 mg/day). Curb: no. |
| Keto-friendly? | Yes — 99.9% sugar-free, designed for low-carb | Burn: yes. Curb: check label. |
| Best for… | Long-term body composition + skin/joint support, especially during weight management | Burn: thermogenic + energy nudge. Curb: appetite + cravings. |
| Member price (AUD) | $147.95 for 30 days | Burn: $61.80. Curb: $139.70. |
What to expect: a realistic Shape timeline
Shape works on two mechanisms with different timescales: CLA on body composition (slow, months), and Collagen/HA Matrix® on skin and joints (also slow, weeks to months). Here’s the honest curve.
Weeks 1–4
Don’t expect dramatic changes on the scale yet. Many users notice the first signal in skin and joints rather than weight — the Collagen/HA Matrix® component works on similar timelines to the regular Liquid BioCell products. Skin hydration, nail strength, and morning joint comfort often show up before body composition changes.
Weeks 4–12
CLA studies typically use 12-week intervention windows. This is where users who’ve maintained a calorie-responsible diet and regular activity start to see subtle body composition changes — clothes fitting differently, particularly around the midsection, before significant scale change. The skin and joint benefits continue to compound.
Month 3+
The compounding window. People who use Shape consistently for 3-6 months alongside real lifestyle changes report the kind of body composition shift you don’t see on the scale alone — same weight, smaller waist, better skin tone, better mobility. People who use Shape without changing diet or activity — they don’t see this. The supplement is a multiplier on the work, not a replacement.
Is Modere Shape right for you?
✓ Yes if you…
- You’re committed to a calorie-responsible diet and regular activity — Shape compounds the work, doesn’t replace it
- You want body composition support that doesn’t neglect your skin and joints
- You’re on a low-carb or ketogenic eating pattern and want a 99.9% sugar-free supplement
- You appreciate a liquid format that mixes easily into drinks or shakes
- You’re thinking long-term (3-6+ months) rather than looking for a quick fix
✕ Skip if you…
- You’re vegetarian or vegan — Shape uses chicken-derived collagen
- You’re pregnant or breastfeeding — talk to your GP first
- You have a chicken or egg allergy — talk to your GP
- You’re looking for a stimulant or thermogenic effect — Shape has no caffeine; look at Burn
- You’re not willing to make any diet or activity changes — you’ll be disappointed
Three pro tips for getting the most from Shape
Take it in the morning, with or without food
The product label says ‘preferably in the morning.’ CLA absorbs well with or without food. Many users take it straight off the tablespoon to wake their palate before coffee. Others stirred into cold water, blended into coffee, or mixed into a chocolate protein shake.
Pair it with consistent activity — even modest
CLA’s body composition benefits in clinical research are most pronounced in subjects who maintained even modest physical activity (a daily walk, light resistance training). The supplement and the activity compound each other. Don’t expect Shape to do the lean-mass work that exercise does.
Track measurements, not just weight
Because Shape’s mechanism supports body composition (fat-to-lean ratio) rather than just total mass, the scale often lags behind the visible changes. Take baseline measurements: waist, hips, upper arm. Photograph yourself in good light every four weeks. Many users are surprised by the photo comparison even when the scale isn’t moving dramatically.

- CLA and body composition: Conjugated linoleic acid has been the subject of dozens of randomised controlled trials over the past 25 years. Meta-analyses report a modest but consistent supportive effect on body fat reduction when combined with calorie restriction and exercise — typically 1–2 kg of additional fat loss over 12-week trial windows compared to placebo.
- CLA and lean mass preservation: CLA has been studied for its supportive role in preserving lean muscle mass during calorie deficits — one of the more clinically interesting findings, since calorie restriction normally produces some lean tissue loss alongside fat loss.
- Collagen/HA Matrix® clinical research: Liquid BioCell® Collagen/HA Matrix® technology has clinical research supporting joint mobility (8-week study, PubMed 26770145), skin hydration and fine line reduction (12-week trials), and hyaluronidase inhibition.
- Skin + body composition synergy: The combination is positioned around the ‘don’t lose skin firmness during weight loss’ principle. Most weight-loss-only products neglect connective tissue, which is why people often see loose skin after rapid weight loss. Shape was designed specifically to address this trade-off.

Frequently asked questions about Modere Shape Chocolate
Is Shape the same as US Trim?
Yes — identical formula, different name. Modere’s product is called Trim in the US and Shape in Australia. Same CLA + Liquid BioCell® Collagen/HA Matrix® combination. Any clinical research or product information you’ve seen about US Trim applies to AU Shape.
How is Shape different from Liquid BioCell?
Same Collagen/HA Matrix® in both. Shape adds the CLA component for body composition support. If your goal is purely skin and joints, Liquid BioCell LIFE, PURE, or SKIN is the simpler choice. If you want body composition support PLUS the skin/joint benefits in one product, Shape is the combination.
Can I take Shape with Liquid BioCell?
Yes — many users do, especially during dedicated body composition focus periods. Common stack: Shape in the morning (CLA active + Matrix), Liquid BioCell SKIN or LIFE in the evening (additional Matrix dose + the phytonutrient/superfood layer). Talk to your GP if you’re unsure about supplement stacking, especially if you’re on medications.
How much CLA does Shape deliver?
Shape contains safflower oil at 30% of the formula, standardised to 78% CLA. The exact CLA dose per 15 mL serve isn’t printed prominently on the label but works out to approximately 3.5–4 grams of CLA per daily dose — in line with the doses used in published CLA clinical research.
Is Shape safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Not specifically studied in pregnant or breastfeeding women. CLA supplementation during pregnancy isn’t well-characterised in the published literature. Talk to your GP first if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive.
Is Shape vegan, gluten-free, or kosher?
Shape is NOT vegan or vegetarian (chicken-derived collagen). It IS gluten-free, dairy-free, and 99.9% sugar-free. Suitable for ketogenic and low-carb diets. Always check the current label for the most up-to-date allergen information.
How do I take it?
Shake well before use. Take 1 tablespoon (15 mL) daily, preferably in the morning. Most users take it straight off the spoon — the decadent chocolate flavour is designed to be pleasant. If you prefer, stirred into cold water, blended into coffee, or mixed into a chocolate protein shake. Avoid hot drinks (heat degrades the collagen peptides). Refrigerate after opening; use within 30 days.
Is it covered by the money-back guarantee?
Yes — 100% money-back guarantee, even if the bottle is used. Shaklee has stood behind this guarantee for over 70 years.
