CLA is fatty acid that is found naturally in a number of foods people consume on a regular basis. It is rumored to burn off fat and aid with muscle production. However, to consume enough CLA to create such benefits would likely require people to over eat. Thus, it has become a popular ingredient included in a number of dietary supplements.

HoodiaP57 - Pure 20X Strength Certified Hoodia
This product is simply as good as Hoodia gets. It is 100% certified, pure Hoodia from South Africa. It also boasts 20X the strength. If any Hoodia product is going to suppress appetite, this is the one. We also like that HoodiaP57 contains nothing else except pure Hoodia -- no fillers and no stimulants. This means it is safe to take whenever you want – including close to bed time. There are hundreds of Hoodia products on the market now, but we don’t even bother to list them on this site, because 99% of them are just cheap imitation Hoodia that is not even from South Africa, where the P57 molecule is the most effective. We chose HoodiaP57 to be on DietBlogTalk because it is of the utmost quality. The maker even includes a certificate of origin from the South African government stating the Hoodia originates from there. This product has nearly a perfect ‘Thumbs Up’ score. Check this one out.

And to top it off, they added 500mg of pure South African Hoodia in a 20X potency to every serving. This pill is pure weight loss science.

The really amazing part is that most of their customers come from word of mouth, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular diet products available.

Slimaluma™
(U.S. Patent 7,060,308) -- We found that this ingredient is proven to drastically suppress the appetite. When you’re hungry, the hypothalamus tells the brain that food is needed. And when the stomach is full, the hypothalamus tells the brain to stop eating. Slimaluma™ sends a signal to the hypothalamus telling the brain that your stomach is full, which helps people eat much less. The customers speak highly of Slimaluma™ -- but it needs to be used in a supportive diet capsule with other essential ingredients.

connie fisher: What I want to know is does CLA really help wiht weight loss? I have seen reports in the news that this is just phoney and wont do anything thank you.

vito: i heard that CLA wont help with weight loss its just a fake. i want to know if it works before i spend my money.

Ronni: Hi i noticed that CLA used to be available in stores, then it was removed from the shelves, then it was back again. Whats up with this? Why did they take it away, was somethign wrong with it?

P. Schuyler: Lately Ive read mixed things on CLA, a news article said it was just a hyped ingredient and a way for companies to make money. Does it actually help with weight loss??

Jody M.: Hi is CLA a suitable product for vegans? I heard it comes from animals but I am not sure about that.

MacGill: I bought CLA about a year and a half ago and i wasnt sure whether it did anything or not. Then 4 mos ago i went back to the CVS and was going to buy it again but it was gone. does anybody know where this is avialable? Is it back in stores agian?

Alice: Well I bought a CLA supplement thinking it would supress my appetite, but, guess what? it didnt do a darn thing, not for my appetite anyway. it sure did give me diarrhea though, boy that was not fun.

Lisette: Yeah, I dont know how i feel about a product that is here today, gone tomorrow, then back again the next day? Sounds fly-by-night to me.

bfhaas: So I read that you need to take CLA for a long time, maybe like 2 or 3 months before you even notice any results. Maybe that works for some, but that seems like a long time to me, especially if theres any side effects from taking the supplment.

nicole: CLA is absolutely not suitable for vegans, Jody. Not only does it come from animals it has also been tested a lot on animals. Plus it has gelatin which vegans do not eat. good luck with finding something more suitable!

deirdre: hi i used to be able to get CLA softgels 90 count at walgreens but then i stopped seeing them. They might be back now, i have sort of given up on that.

kangaroo09: I have read that CLA may lead to insulin resistance, which can increase ur risk of diabetes. no thank you! that is what I am trying to AVOID.

Melanie: Cla is not for weight loss.

Ariel: Whats the purpose of taking CLA, exactly? Its just a fatty acid found in foods right?

abigail: What I need is a real fat-burner or metabolism booster. CLA is basically just a supplement, which is not strong enough for the weight loss i need to achieve.

Victor L.: So I was supplementing with CLA for about 2 months, thinking I would have some health benefits and hoping to notice some weight loss. I never lost any weight at all, and when I realized I could be increasing my risk for diabetes, I stopped right away. I need something different.

Rhiannon: As far as fatty acids go, I think the best ones to take are the Omega-3s.

Amelia: Oh I was thinking of switching to a vegetarian diet but is it really possible to lose weight eating this way? My friend doesnt eat meat but she eats a lot of rice and pasta, I think that would make me gain weight.

G.H. Sloan: Well I took CLA supplements for six months, I never had any problems. Didnt lose weight, but I didnt expect to.

corinne: Yeah, i dont this this CLA is really a real diet pill, its more like a vitamin or something but it didnt make me feel so good

Adam: If youre looking for a fat burner, Miracleburn work. Ive lost 17 lbs in the past 3 months.

Andalou: Yeah CLA didnt work for me, ever. I thought it wuld at least give me energy to work out or something, but it didnt do anything

julianna: The thing about taking CLA is that you still need to really watch what you eat and how much you exercise, because you dont FEEL any different. I took, and was thinking it would help me lose weight, but it didnt control cravings or give me energy or anything like that. I was extra conscious about my portions, just cuz I was taking the supplement so I did lose a few lbs but who knows if it was from the CLA or not. I liek to think it did something.

Dawn F.: Think maybe Ill just eat eggs if I want to get CLA in my diet. It seems a whole lot cheaper and less risky.

Sandi: I guess i somehow didnt realize that CLA is not OK for vegans. ugh, no wonder i havent felt so great. This isnt even helping me with weight loss, either!

anabelle: IT seems like theres too many mixed messages on CLA and how good it is for you. Im gonna wait until I see more of a necessity of getting it in my diet before I waste money on any supplements of it. Esp if it doesnt realy help you lose weihgt.

Vernon: Is there anyone that should be taking CLA for any reasons thats what I would like to know please.

chloe: CLA is a TRANS FAT!!! I just read that…so why would i wanna take it for wieght loss? I think i will pass on this.

Dave: CLA is an Omega 6 fatty acid, which most Americans already get to much of in their diets. The kind people actually lack is Omega 3s. That is the good stuff.

Marie: So is there a trusted brand of CLA supplements or are you all saying that none of these will have any positive impact?

Terese: Hm, yeah, I think it might make mores sense…CLA just sounds kind of like food.

NED: Well since CLA can potentially cause folks to get diabetes and since it seems to be a trans-fat, I think its safe to say that it will do more harm than good, overall, and all supplements should be avoided, at least until we know more about it.

Anna: CLA DOES NOT WORK 4 WEIGHT LOSS!! IT IS JUST A FAKE, DO NOT WASTE UR MONEY! HERES ANOTHER REVIEW OF CLA !!!!!!!!!!!!

anne: Thanks for the advice on CLA folks! I think I’m gonna save my my money on this one. I don’t think any of us need anymore of the omega 6 fatty acids or trans fats in our diets. I think I’ll keep searching until I hopefully find a safe, proven and a reliable supplement to help reduce my body fat.

Tracy: I have been taking CLA for about a month now and have definitely noticed a difference. While I haven’t lost weight, my stomach and saddlebags have defintely shrunk and I look much better. I love this stuff and will continue for as long as it takes. My only concern is that I read somewhere that it may affect DHEA levels. Hmm, I have been a bit absent-minded lately. Maybe I could take supplements for DHEA? Wonder if that would affect the CLA negatively? Anyway, it’s a thumbs up for me.

Tracy: Forgot to mention that I also haven’t had to see a chiropractor since I started.

Lauren: I just bought Tonalin CLA yesterday and have taken 2 capsules, I am a very active person & I eat healthy, We will see what happens. I will let you all know if it works for me.

JD: CLA is not a weight loss product. It is able to an proven to reduce fat and build muscle. You can look slim and have a high percent of body fat. You can also have a large build and look fat but also have a low percent of body fat. Having lean muscle is healthy and that

charo: I used CLA and it worked for me. at 1st I didn’t think it was doing anything.. I would get on the scale and nothing.. So my sisters and I we decided we’re “getting in shape” we started a chart of our total body measurements and we would check in once a mth… (I was the only one taking CLA) WoW… you definitely seen the difference. now I was not one to watch what I eat maybe here and there nothing that counted… nor did I exercise unless you count running around in work “Exercise” Anyhow, point is you don’t see the results by weighing your self you see it in inches … muscle weighs more then fat … and I was told this CLA is what weight lifters take to get rid of the extra fat from there muscle.

Janet: Well I just started taking CLA 80 this week. I was told to take it with White & Green Tea capsules? Apparently they work well together….I guess time will tell. It does worry me reading these comments, especially the risk of diabetes? Nobody wants to hear that. Maybe I should check into this a bit further?

Maura: Hi Janet I took a CLA cap combined with Green tea & I never lost any body fat from it the combination. It also worried me to see that it could cause insulin resistance. I think I jumped on this too quick, it seems like there just isn’t ENOUGH research on this to waste my time supplementing.

Bonnie: I take CLA and it’s not supposed to help LOSE WEIGHT but support lean muscle tissue. Hense the more muscle you have the more calories you burn at rest…the easier it is to lose weight…

Carrie: I just started taking it recently, I do work out and watch what I eat too. Like other people have said, I haven’t see much weight loss, but I feel like i am losing my layer of fat! We will see what happens over the course….

melanie: Bonnie thanks for clarifying! For some reason i got bad info., and thought CLA was for weight loss, but i see now that it’s not for weight loss at all. Glad i learned that, wish i knew sooner. Anyhow, I’ve found an excellent weight loss supplement that WORKS wonderfully its called Nuphedrine and it contains appetite suppressants and fat burners. The weight is coming off without jitters or insomnia. MUCH better for my needs than CLA was.

krista: I have been taking CLA TONALIN and ive noticed that i have lost alot of weight .. i use to weigh 172 pounds and now i weigh 149 so i have a great response with that… but unfortunately i do feel sick sometimes i get very nauseous and diarrhea in the morning ..

Roberta: That doesn’t sound very good Krista, the side effects I mean. are you doing anything else to lose weight besides just taking CLA?

Elsie: For about 6 mos I was supplementing with CLA and really saw no changes in my weight, even with diet and exercise. Also noticed a bit of an upset stomach. Decided to go for more of a advanced fat burner and got Slim 10. Works better for weight loss, 12 lbs in 5 weeks.

ron: CLA for me it really does help. As again imposed this is not a magic pill!. you need to take the amount required and proper exercise program. CLA is not for Weight loss its for FAT loss so you FAT are turned into muscles

Blake: I have been running now for a year. Im 6 feet tall and went from 198 pounds to 170. Even with 30 pounds of weight loss i could not get rid of the last fat layer in my mid section. Let me tell you I am a lab rat for popping diet pills and nothing worked like CLA. I started taking it a month ago and swear it is a Godsend. I knew i had ab muscles in there. I can’t say how well it will work without diet and exercise but i would definitely say it works period. I have all my friends on it now.

Shirley: I just bought a bottle of CLA today, but from reading the post I’ve seen more negative info on this product than positive ones, this is kind of scary. I don’t want to lose weight, I just want to burn some of the stomach fat and build muscle, yet at the same time I am concern about the insulin resistance with the possiblity of the risk of diabetes. I think I will trash this bottle and try something else.

liza: I started taking CLA in April or May of this year. Combined with healthy eating and exercise, I started to loose weight after I had hit a plateau for weeks. I began loosing 2-5 per week. My abdominal area fell off first, then the hips started to shrink. CLA has worked well for me. I’ve lost 50 lbs.

Bernie: Just join Weight Watchers if you all are looking to lose pounds. you lose roughly 10 lbs per month…WITHOUT any B.S. “diet” pills. And you’ll learn to eat healthier. You cannot “fix” your weight with pills….(took me a LONG time to realize that) its all about making smarter choices, portion control and adding some exercise to your schedule. I’ve lost 150 lbs.

Nathan: Im an owner of a nutritional supplement store in Appleton,WI. C.L.A. DOES DOES DOES work!! The problem is you people want to loose 10-15 pounds in one month and you wont give a supplement time to work. CLA takes around 3-4wks to kick in full potential. Also quit looking at that scale every day..look only once a week. CLA promotes muscle tone. Thats why its so poplular with body builders and womens fitness. Remember, muscle = metabolism University of Madison WI (founders of cla) studied up to 9 pills aday and just stopped there because the test kept getting better results. No toxicity or interactions were found. CLA is anti cancerious and recommended for diabetes. I suggest take 6 pills a day…2 prior to your 3 major meals. The suggested dose of 3 they tell you wont do much. I get excellent reviews and long term customers on CLA..just give it time. Any weight loss diet give it a 3 month trial.

Nathan: Also do not think you can loose weight by using CLA and when you go off of CLA you will keep the weight off without exercizing. Its a life style change. I get customer after customer that thinks or hopes that once they loose the weight they can go off the pills and not gain an inch back. What are they thinking lol…but I understand , you have a busy life, kids, work, ect.. well ya really need to stop eating huge portions at supper time do some exersize..and YES you do have time to do some sort of exersizing per day. You have 30 min to sit on that couch to watch the Days of Our Lives or the local news. While watching tv lift some weights, crunches, something! The ClA and exersize work so great hand in hand try taking 6 per day and 30 min exersize, portion-control your food and you’ll see quick results.

Terry: Oh I totally agree with you Nathan..so many people seem to think that by taking a pill, it eliminates the need for exercise & the weight will just stay off…thanks for your post, I hope other people find it enlightening! This product (Slim 10) has tonalin CLA in it plus other ingredients, and works better for me because it helps reduce my appetite, making portion control easier. Its helped me lose 26 lbs in the past 3 months http://www.slim10.com/patented

ndb: KRISTA: RE:NAUSEA i’ve been told that the CLA supplements should be taken with some milk to prevent the nausea. They work more easily with protein. I have been taking them with milk and have not experienced any nausea.

jesse: for me it worked great, and as nathan said it helps with weight control ie. keeping it off once you lose it. it is a very safe product and i take it without even eating and no stomach problems. it helped me to lose about 18 pounds in 6 weeks and i even got more muscular tone. granted it is meant to assist in weight loss and its not a magic pill, exercise and calorie reduction is need. so i recommend this to anyone looking to get a bit of help with there diet.

Erik: I have noticed a definite difference since I have been taking CLA. A mix of the pills and jogging has really helped with muscle tone and slimming my overall appearance. My only concern is I find that it is really hard on my stomach…like a have a rock sitting in there. I was wondering if anyone else had a similiar experience with the supplement?????

Jeff: CLA works and works well if you give it a chance. You people crack me up. I love the responses “I just started using it and havent seen any results”. How bout doin a little research before posting your comments. If you would research you would know that CLA is not a miracle pill. Your not going to see results in 2 days. How long did it take you to get fat or out of shape? CLA works by drying out fat cells so they are easier to burn, think of fire wood. Is it easier to burn when it is wet or dry? Of course the answer is dry. This is why CLA takes a little while to work but you have to give it time to work. Do some research before you start taking supplements and posting comments when you apparently have no idea what your talking about. LOL

julia: Jeff, I agree with what you are saying, it’s certainly important to be armed with knowledge and understanding, and to read up on some of these supplements. I should have done my homework about CLA before i tried it. I was not aware of the whole “drying up fat cells” thing but i guess mine are still pretty wet, because nothing is happening here and its been a few months. So, while i agree with you that knowledge is power, that power is not enough to make CLA work, unfortunately. Not for me, anyway.

jerry: Nathan, jeff and erik thanks for your post.Sounds like you guys have had some good results with cla. I bought some today and was hoping u guys could give me some advice. I have been working out 6days a week for about a yr now. I originally wantd to gain some mass, and I have gained about 30lbs. I just have that little pooch around the midsection that I just cant get rid off. I dont want to take a fat burner and loose the weight I have gained. I do alot of old fashion crunches and cardio 3x a week for 20-30 mins. My question is, Will cla help me with that troubled midsection.

bob: THIS IS A TRANS FAT – See article in Udo’s,Testosterone Nation and Bodybuilding.com, where the research links can be found. These sites usually PUSH supplements, not push you away. Also search NORWAY CLA HEALTH WARNING. The question was stated in previous research: Are we more like the mice or the rats? Well, looks like its the mice, and that aint good…

Lenore: Taking CLA seems like it could help me with my muscle tone, my upper arms, butt & stomach have all gone soft. I’m also doing more weight training lately but I;ve been looking at these supplements. I do wonder wheter I should take it alone or combined with other ingredients. Its not so much the weight I’m worried about, as the loss of muscle tone, turning to flab. THese comments are useful, i might look into that Slim 10 mentioned above.

Lin: I started taking CLA about one month ago and have noticed a slight difference. My weight decreased 3 lbs without trying and the big difference is my stomach is flatter. I didn’t go down a size by my pants are looser and clothes more flattering. I have been taking 4 pills a day and will continue.

gisele: Is it normal I gained weight when I stopped taking CLA ?

Larry: I first used CLA about 3 years ago, once I ballooned to 210 pounds from my HS weight of 180. CLA helped me get over the 200 lb plateau and get me all the way back down to 185, where I stopped using it and dieting. Fast forward to about 2 months ago. I was 235 pounds, and decided to lose it all and get to 175 by the end of the summer. So far, I’ve lost about 30-35 pounds, with the help of CLA (4/day), Glucomannan (6/day), and dieting (1200-1500 cals/day). No exercise at all. But exercise is where CLA really shines. Three years ago, I could feel and see the difference that CLA made, and I am sure I’ll be able to feel and see the difference again this year. Another thing I attribute to CLA is depsite the fact that I am running on a relatively large calorie deficit, I haven’t lost much muscle mass at all, it’s almost all fatty tissue. Never had any side effects either, CLA is simply an incredible supplement in my opinion. I’ll try to remember to come back and post my weight and body fat % in a month or so.

Dawn: I have been on CLA for 2 weeks and the results are amazing! No side effects and my waist and hips are thinner every day. Lost 5 pounds so far.

Daniela: I am taking CLAGold Tonalinand it works great for me. I dont feel hungry,must be the green tea. I am not sure jet if it helps to burn fat but tyhis pill helps me more than I expected to stop crabing.

david: Not sure if it is the CLA or not but I utilize an excellent diet/moderate exercise and my abdominal fat has significantly dropped. I can not say anything bad about this product whatsoever because I only see results. I only wanted it to assist in losing maybe 2-3lbs of abdominal fat and its work just as I had hoped. Remember that nothing works like an excellent diet and exercise. In my opinion CLA should only be used if you are serious about losing weight and not looking to let some pill do the work on its own.

Anonymous: Lauren, I just did the same. I bought Tonalin CLA and have only taken 2 pills also. How are you feeling these days. I have to watch out for Diabetes myself and some of these blogs scare me. I haven’t seen to many thumbs up yet???

lex: Hey guys, no negatives but im just wondering if its safe to take CLA with whey protein Isolate. I do not wanna gain weight I just want to tone faster. PLEASE let me know. i just bought CLA and just bought protein. i have been working out for over a year now and just started this. Im trying to speed up my process. Thanks

CLA

CLA is a fatty acid found in meat and dairy products. Currently, it is also an ingredient often included in weight loss supplements now on the market. The popularity of CLA is due to the belief that it will burn off excess fat. It is also said to support lean muscle mass and even assist with the production of new, lean muscle. There are a number of dietary supplements that now contain this ingredient. We will take a closer look at how it is meant to support a weight loss program and how it interacts with the body.

 Ingredient
CLA stands for Conjugated Linoleic Acid. It was actually discovered by accident in 1978 when a researcher was looking for mutagen formation in meat during cooking. While CLA does naturally occur in dairy products and meat, enough CLA to stimulate weight loss would require such large amounts of food that it would be counterproductive. This is why CLA supplements are now so popular.

 Qualities
CLA is said to have two major benefits. The first is that it will increase muscle mass, and the second is that it will decrease body fat. Obviously, these two benefits are quite attractive, since they will not only make people look better but also increase strength and maybe even physical and athletic performance. There are now even rumors that CLA may aid people with thyroid problems when it comes to weight gain and loss.

Scientific studies done on this ingredient are promising. One study does show that, when paired with regular exercise, this ingredient is even more effective.

 Price
Again, there are a number of supplements on the market that contain CLA, and all of them range in price. However, a specific supplement would be Maximum CLA sold and produced by the company GNC in their Pro Performance product line. This supplement costs around $30 for a bottle of 90 capsules at this time.

 Final Facts
CLA is a popular weight loss ingredient, and many dieters may have already heard of it and its purported benefits. Again, studies done on this ingredient are promising, and it has been shown to most beneficial when paired with a regular exercise routine. Dieters who are curious about how CLA supplements stack up against other weight loss aids can see how this ingredient ranks on the various available consumer review websites.
