What would be the best choice for fat supplement to take in before bed?

they serve different purposes. fish oil provides omgea 3 fatty acids while CLA does not, it's an omega 6 fatty acid. IMO..CLA is best used when there is a caloric excess. it interferes with an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase (LPL) which regulates the flow of lipids across the cell membrane of fat cells. so if you take enough CLA when you are bulking it can help to reduce fat gain.

Thanks for the info LAM
I think I will try to balance it out 1/2 CLA & 1/2 Fish oil

Any suggestions for the best CLA brand?

Fish oil or perhaps a sesame oil like Avant Labs SeasaThin if you are cutting.
