Adderall and CLA.

jack1336

Hello
I do 5x5 workouts 3 times a week.

I take prescribed Adderall and as you can imagine I have a high Metabolism. According to this site: https://www.livestrong.com/article/73799-gain-muscle-mass-fast-metabolism/

I have to take CLA.

It seems to increase Metabolism. Am I wrong and/or do I need it at all?

1. Why do you have to take CLA?
2. Livestrong is not a reputable source. I have no idea whether Adderal affects your metabolism or not but don't take a Livestrong articles word for it.

Generally, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist regarding taking OTC supplements while on an Rx

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.
