CLA

Hi everyone!! Has anyone heard of CLA (Conjugated linoleic acids)? I went on GNC's website to see if there was something out there to help boost my weight loss. I had several items in mind when I walked in the store. I asked the clerk and he highly recommended CLA. It is suppose to get rid of belly fat and give lean muscle. I researched this product on other websites and it seemed like it was worth the try. I even researched it on other websites that do not sell the product and it seemed okay. GNC sells two different kinds -- the regular kind and the thermo (which has about 180mg caffeine per 2 pills). I was told to take 2 pills about 30 minutes before I worked out. Since I got the thermo kind, I opted to only take 1 pill since I'm working on in the evenings and the label states do not take before bedtime. I wasn't sure how my body would react to the caffeine. I have been using it the past few days and haven't noticed any side effects. I just ordered the regular kind so I can take 1 regular CLA and 1 thermo CLA to get the full benefit of the 2 pills. I was wondering if anyone else has used it and their likes/dislikes. Any opinions are welcomed.

I take CLA regularly, but as a part of a supplement called EFA Gold, which contains CLA and other essential fatty acids.
