hello...just wondering if anyone has tried tonalin or heard anything about it? i am gonna buy some tomorrow but would like some feedback first! thanks!

Tonalin is CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid). Yes, I have taken it consitently for almost a year. At first I took 4 capsules per day for about 4 months and then 2 capsules per day as maintenance. This has coincided with an increase in muscle mass of about 10 lbs., with a relative decrease in body fat %. My total fat mass is about the same, however, I was already fairly lean at about 12% body fat. I also have increased my exercise and weight training during this time, so its hard to tell how much the CLA has helped. I believe it has helped at least a little. There are several human studies showing CLA can reduce body fat % and increase lean mass and many animal studies showing the same. Perhaps the most compelling reason for taking CLA, is that it is a natural nutrient that has been dramatically reduced in our food supply due to changes in livestock feeding practices. It also appears to fight and prevent cancer in animal and cell studies. Hope this sheds some light. Best,

I had tried CLA a couple of years ago but the dosage and capsules and when to take was almost a second career. I had some results like a half-inch around my waist and reduced thign fat without a change in diet.

Lately I have started CLA again but this time a liquid ffrom Clarinol. You just take one half-tablespoon per day at any time. A bottle costs about $22, last a month and after 2 and a half bottles I am starting to notice a difference. I like this, it's easy to take and you just take it once a day.
