I've heard so much different stuff on here about CLA and such and was just wondering if the one that I'm thinking about getting should be as good as any other CLA or if it's a cheap brand and wont delivery the same results?

Dymatize CLA

Here's some info on what it has in it for those that know anything about it.

Serving Size: 1 Capsule
Servings Per Container: 90

Amount Per Serving:

Tonalin: 1,000 mg
CLA (74-82%)
Oleic Acid (10-20%)
Palmitic Acid (6%)
Stearic Acid (3%)

Other Ingredients:
Gelatin, Glycerin, Water, Carmel Powder.

Does this sound ok or is it just cheap with-out the same results (that you would get from the more expensive brands)?

Do you mind if I ask what your stats where before using it (weight...etc) and BF % if you know what it was or is?

Just wondering because I think it would probably make a difference depending on what type of shape you where in before using it.

In other words I think 4 pounds of fat in a month and a half would probably be harder to lose for someone at (example) 10% BF compared to someone at 30% BF.

So was just curious what your BF or weight might have been at before using this? That is if you don't mind saying.

Thanks,

is it ok to take creatine while taking cla?

[Hotwheels]

Does anyone know how effective the Abs stuff by greens is?
I thought I would try it it's CLA.

[Madman]

Blah, from a friend I can get GNC stuff cheap with his discount, is the GNC CLA any good? Its the 1000mg 90 softgel capsules, got them for $19.99, seemed like a good deal so I figured I'd start off taking one after every meal.

Course right now my every meal is only 3x a day Trying to work on that

Hi! I have been taking Rev xp for 3 weeks and it seems to be working, but I would like to have better results since I want to loose 10 extra pounds.. Some one knows if I can combine Rev xp (from GNC) with CLA to have better results?
Thanks a lot!!!

Does anyone know if ppl with thyroid function & are currently being treated with the man made thyroid hormone synthroid should take CLA?
I taking synthroids with a .10mg dose a day to treat my thyroid dysfunction. I have gained about 5-10lbs of body fat from the Iodine treat this August. Since January I've been on Synthroids as it took 6 months for the full effect of the Iodine to work. I just don't want to take anything & have an drug or medical interaction. My doctor doesn't like any time of supplement other than a multi-vitamin, not even whey protein. I already asked him & he said you know what I think about supplements. Yes I agree some supplements are bad such as creatine & ephedrine & ephedrine based fat burners, but these are natural products found in food.

I personally think it's purely based on medico-legal reasons (ie. covering asses). I think CLA is safe as olive oil. Just my humble opinion.

Again, I think it's perfectly okay for you to take CLA, whey, and train with weights. It is just a kind of fatty acid, something you get from natural foods and oils. Just my humble opinion.

Thats the combination I have going right now...Rev XP, GNC CLA and some Mega Men vitamins.

[NHow]

The Vitamin Shoppe's Tonalin CLA (1000 mg) 180 capsules sells for about $34, a lot cheaper than GNC.

I've been taking 6 caps/day (2 with each meal) for about 3 weeks. Haven't seen a difference yet. I work out 5 times/week on an elliptical machine and 2 days/week of Pilates (full program on machines). Hoping to see some results soon as I have abdominal fat that won't budge (even with good muscle tone underneath).

[BenBrausen]

You can get 180 1000mg gel caps for $16.99. Message me if you want the link.

[nyr469]

should you cycle CLA (take it for one month, don't take it the next, etc) or can you take it all the time?

[BenBrausen]

I take it all the time (haven't heard of anyone cycling it) but I'm up to suggestions.
