Tonalin CLA
An ingredient meant to reduce body fat, tonalin CLA is a patented form of CLA or conjugated linoleic acid. It promotes greater fat burning within the body without actually using stimulants, and in the right amounts, they claim it can even build lean muscle mass. There are various products using this. It has been popularly seen as the new stimulant free fat burner that will also build lean muscle mass. But does it work?
The Good
This patented form is more powerful than the original, and the original is clinically proven of course. It is used so often, because it works as a good and healthy fat to balance out your body in certain ways, and you could potentially improve the results of your diet and exercise plan.
The Bad
They require 4500mg to work, and frankly there is not really a product that uses that amount. Most products use a maximum of 500mg, which is obviously a mere fraction of what would actually be required. Moreover, tonalin CLA actually only promotes about 3 extra pounds weight loss and fat loss per year. So that’s not as substantial as many would like to think. And we would hardly call that clinically proven.
The Skinny
This is a good choice if complimenting other ingredients and frankly if used in the right amounts. There are ways to get the right amounts of course. But you have to be careful where you search. All in all, most products using tonalin CLA are not worth anything. It’s just a matter of finding ones that are.
Comment
I have used Tonalin CLA. I think it works but very little. I don’t think it should be the only thing you rely on though if your looking to burn fat. I also would not take it long term. It does have some health benefits. However, I heard it also had some side effects such as making your body more resistant to insulin, causes low HDL or good cholesterol levels,and high C-rective protein (an inflammatory protein that can be a sign of problems). It can make you nausea so they say you should take it with food or some dairy product. You have to take at least 3000mg to 4500mg for it to be effective as a fat burner, but the result may still be little.

I have been using Tonalin CLA for about 6 months. Staying away from bad carbs and sugar, doing dance exercise, I have dropped from a size 18 to size 10 and lost 40 lbs. I feel wonderful, the only thing is I have chronic fatique syndrome and fibromyalgia, so with permission from my dr. I do the 5 hr. energy drink and I feel like a new me. I highly recommend this product. One of my best friends who is a nurse practioner also uses it. I get good advice from a certain vitamin store.
