hey

I've just purchased some CLA tablets from myprotein and I was just wondering how many to take daily? Some have said 2 with each meal and some have 1 3 times a day.

Thanks in advance

    I recently started taking CLA. I started taking them as the bottle indicates (1 pill 3x a day, with a meal) and got violently ill. The pills made my horribly upset. I lost weight, but only because I couldn't eat.

    What does the bottle say? It should have instructions on it.

    I'd try taking one pill once a day, and gradually increase. I'm starting that in the next day or so, once I can put something in my stomach and not want to double over. Even water hurt!

    ....why on earth would you take something if it made you sick the first time around?

    Unless it's under a doctor's instruction...in which case contacting the doctor ASAP would be the next thing to do.

    From Wikipedia: "In healthy humans, CLA and the related conjugated linolenic acid (CLNA) isomers are bioconverted from linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, respectively, mainly by Bifidobacterium bacteria strains inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract. However, this bioconversion may not occur at any significant level in those with a digestive disease, gluten sensitivity, and/or dysbiosis."

    It's possible you are having these troubles due to a digestive issue? You may not be able to process it if you lack the bacteria(most likely not) or have another digestive issue.

    Why don't they do anything ? All the reviews were very positive stating they help with fat loss and increase in metabolism and smaller appetite? Well I'll try them and see I guess :)

    Skip the pills
    Eat less, move more

    I've heard of quite a few people getting sick and in abdominal pain from (extra) CLA

    How many products have you seen that publish negative reviews of themselves?

    Nope, NOTHING increases fat loss or metabolism.

    The things that decrease appetite are also basically speed and will give you insomnia or heart palpitations.
