Anybody tried/uses CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)?

Thinking about giving it a try and was wondering if anyone has some experience (good or bad) about CLA? I have read a lot and I have come up with a solid idea that yes it is good for you, but it does not have any solid facts. For all I know the people praising it are the people selling it. Thanks!

    I've been taking it for awhile now. At least five months. I like it!

    Not a single side affect. It has reduced my body fat percentage, builds my muscles really well and I see definition a lot faster and I'm pretty sure it has upped my immune system.

    I really like PGx Daily as well. :)

    I just bought CLA mixed with fish oil. I have two 500mg softgels of CLA in the morning with breakfast and with lunch. I was told by the specialist I saw that although this pill has a lot of good things about it--it is not the miracle pill. You have to take this pill for 6 months before you can truly see the results that included increased muscle strength, seeing more toned results quicker, loss of body fat, etc. I paid $16.00 for a bottle of 90 softgels. So you need to decide if it is worth it to you. Even though I won't see results until a later date, other results such as better hair and skin health are pluses that are associated with the pill.

    I have been taking it since right after Valentines day and I really like it too. Since starting my body fat % has decreased and it has helped my stomach area a lot. When I was exercising it helped me along there too. I've fallen off the exercise bandwagon right now but I still won't give up the CLA. I just started my 3rd bottle. Amazon has a decent selection with good prices and you can read the reviews. That is where I got my first 2 bottles. The third I waited too long to order and had to pick up at the grocery store.

    It is a lot of pills though. I take three a day and they are horse pills..
