Thread: Cla

To maximize the efficiency of CLA, studies showed that you are required to take in 3,400mg of actual CLA.

Read the label. Most contain only 78-84% CLA. 4 of these equals 4,000mg total and anywhere between 3120-3360mg of actual CLA. This is close enough for me. So I take 4 per day. I usually take them all at once after a meal to aid in absorption.

Also, it is recommended to use the CLA with Tonalin.

^^ good post PinMaster T

When cutting I will take between 4-6 a day, depending on overall calories. Split doses, with meals.

Thank you. Yeah, splitting the dosages works too. Either way I always see about the same results.

when i took CLA i took 4-5 pills ed (1g/1000mg per pill) and notices SOME help from it, nothing majore. but i would stack it with some green tea and maybe ALCAR if drinking the tea is a hassle I liked the pills from primordial performance when i was on the run.

diet is still #1 thow for anything decent to be noticed.
I took 1-2pils of cle 2-3 times a day along with soem green tea or greentea pill/powder extract.

Allthewhey says that CLA triggers fat loss while sleeping. Judging by what you people say I am going to take 3000mg a day. That's 3 pills. What time of day should I take each pill?

Shit, nevermind ^ post.. I see you had already answered it. But does it work while sleepin or is that a sales pitch?

I tried that and never noticed a difference. For a while I thought I noticed a SLIGHT difference, but it was probably a placebo due to their sales pitch..

..and I would take at least 4g / day..

alright thanks

What type of results/benefits if any have you seen?

i have been taking for about a week. and I guess I see results already. but i also just started insanity beachbody do it could be that or both Im not complaining tho

So you're losing weight with it? You notice your waistline decreasing?

yeah its worth it i reckon. Plus its not expensive so its worth experimenting with

I have mainly seen it help burn stomach/torso fat. I think it should be ran for at least 6 weeks though.

Interesting!

have you tried the CLA, R-ALA, green tea extract, and aclar stack? They work in unison to increase the rate of fat burning. Also, don't buy any pure R-ala unless you know its refridgerated. Its heat sensitive stuff and I always store mine in the fridge!
