Ive been thinking about taking CLA(Conjugated linoleic acid) for a while now. The stuff is pretty expensive though. Any one use it? Have any reviews?

    The studies showed that the only time it affects you is if you have 3.5g or more per day. So, if you are gonna take it, take enough for it to do something!

    I take it, I have noticed that it gives me an extra 'boost' with the weight loss. Not huge but I had been on a plateau and when I started taking it, I lost a few extra pounds.

    I get it from Costco 1560mg 3 times a day, so I get more than the 3.5g needed per day. It is the Tonalin brand which you can read about here: http://tonalin.com/

    I'm taking it, and find it to be effective in reducing my waistline. Plus, I don't like the hydro cuts and other pills - they make my heart race and hair stand on end. It has no side effect and seems to be doing the trick. I've also read studies that suggest it is a heart healthy supplement. I take the Vitamin Shoppe Brand.

    Thanks for the responses everyone. I think I’ll give it a shot down the road when I hit a plateau.

    Cheeze Wiz is a great source of CLA, just a fyi.
