CLA

Im thinking of starting CLA supplements. Has anyone had any results with these?

Lab rats seem to do well with them.
Humans, not so much.

CLA has been investigated to be a fat burner and health promoting agent due to its effect on a molecular signalling receptor family named PPAR which is related to fat burning, steroid signalling, inflammation, and glucose/lipid metabolism.

However, human studies on CLA are very unreliable and the overall effects seen with CLA are not overly potent as well as sometimes contradicting. CLA is a good research standard to investigated fatty acids and the PPAR system, but its usage as a supplement for personal goals is quite lacklustre.

I also personally tried them back when I was not as much of skeptic and found nothing came from them beyond what I was already doing with diet and exercise.

Why not save your money, eat at a reasonable deficit and lose weight?

I'd normally stick to saying "Don't waste your money" but I know it's much more useful to have personal opinions from those that have tried. I have tried these and No, I didn't see any difference in my weight loss or work-out's. I continued losing weight as I had been previous to trying them

Very overpriced considering I could have achieved exactly the same results without taking them! Save those precious pennies and buy some nice food!

Thanks everyone! That's what I thought but it helps to get other opinions.
