I've been taking Tonalin for two days now.
How long does it take for the Tonalin to "kick in"?

I've been taking Tonalin for about three weeks and for two weeks I've been in the gym three days a week. I've been drinking mostly water (had a few beers at work) and eating alit of chicken and veggies. I did have a couple of days of eating out but still trying to make healthy choices. In two weeks I've lost 4 pounds! It may not seem like much but I've been really pleased and I'm starting to see more defanition in my body and my beer belly is starting to go away! (body by Corona). I'm definately nmore motivated to stay on the track beacuse of the results I've achieved so far.

I got a huge bottle of Tonalin CLA from Vitamin World and have been taking 6 capsules a day for about a week now. I havent noticed any changes yet, but here's hoping.....

It's been like a week for me now.. and I have been taking about 6 caps a day... I haven't noticed anything major, but my skin seems firmer and smoother. Maybe I'm looking too much into it. Good luck everyone and keep us posted on your progress.

BAAAAAAA! I've become a sheep and joined the Tonalin-CLA club. Got mine Tuesday, so we'll see how it goes! *crosses fingers*

I ordered mine from www.fitnessone.com (http://www.fitnessone.com) Their EAS 90ct bottle is $16.99. They also have the best price I've seen on the 'net for Cortislim and Hydroxycut and other suppliments.

I'll definitely let everyone know how it goes for me as well!

I'm just a newbie member, but was inspired by all of you to try this stuff. I bought a 90-ct bottle of 1000 mg off amazon.com (from Swanson) for $10. Just wanted to share this great deal! ;D


Here's the link...

I'm actually seeing a difference!! It took a couple of weeks for me where I was looking and wondering if they would work or not but all of the sudden I woke up one morning and my cellulite was almost completly GONE!! Not to mention the compliments on the softness of my skin. An absolute miracle in the frozen north where the heat is on HELL most of the time! My eternal thanks to Gynger for talking about this stuff. I would have never found a thread on this if I hadn't heard her mention it first.

Okay, so it's only been one day but I swear my skin was firmer and more toned this morning. Do you think it's possible for it to work in 24 hours? I'm thinking it's just a placebo effect, but I am really excited to see the result over the next few weeks!

The capsules I got were huge too. I found that if I fill my mouth with water, pop in a pill, and then tilt my head DOWN, the pill goes down much, much smoother. The pill is lighter than the water, so it floats to the back of my throat, making it much easier to swallow. Hmm, too bad this position doesn't work while swallowing other things...heehee...

01-27-2005, 09:28 PM
^^^^LOL yea same here that pill is to huge...but i managed o take em..lol ive only taken 1 today but ill take more soon...what times of the day do you ladies take them...and what' *after you eat* or??

kittykat1971
01-27-2005, 09:33 PM
After reading the other posts, I've taken 2 with every meal (6 pill/day). My bottle even says to take 2 pills 2-3 times a day. I have enough to last the month, I figured I'd give it that long to see if it works. I just took my last 2 for the day and I do have a funny warmth in my tummy. Maybe because I drank them with wine?? lol

I just got inspired again!!!
I started taking 3 pills a day (3000 mg) and working out. Rotating my cardio then weight training every other day. Taking only 2 days off a week. Plus, my diet is better and I eat smaller proportions.
:crossfing :crossfing I hope this works...Im planning my return for sure in March.

Thanks Gynger!!! So inspirational to me;) :) .

Should I up my intake to 6000 mg a day (6 pills) to see better results?

Hi, I couldn't resist jumping on the bandwagon either and just wanted to let everyone know that I just ordered Tonalin 1000 mg, in a 90 pill bottle for only $8.00!

After surfing through the site mentioned above I searched around and found this one too. 120 softgels for 11.95. Even with shipping it's cheaper than the 12.88 for 60 at Wal-Mart. Shipping is a flat rate of 4.95. Here is the link-

I'm a little worried now since I've been GAINING weight on these a bit. I went to the gym three times last week, once for a 1.5 hr hot ashtanga yoga class, had an hour-long session with my trainer who BUSTED my ass and did 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer. I also spend hours during the week walking around Manhattan. I know muscle weighs more than fat, but I feel bigger too. :-(

It's been helping my skin, even before I got the humidifier (thanks Lexi!) and my cellulite has been minimized though I never had much, thank God.

I want to stay on it since I've heard so many good things about it, but if it's making me gain then obviously I won't.

Me too. I've been going to the gym about 5x a week and busting ass. My arms look more toned but everywhere else is starting to look bigger. And the scale is going up, up, up!:-\

I haven't had weight gain with it. I'm down to 147 from 156 since the begining of the year. If you'r eworking out that hard remember that muscle weighs more than fat.

I have gained weight it seems in the month since I've had a trainer and I put on a pair of jeans this weekend that are now tighter. I guess that's muscle but its' sure not encouraging!

Okay, I just got my first bottle sunday and have been taking 2 pills a day 1,000 mill. per pill.
I plan on slowly increasing the dose throughout the next week to avoid stomach upsets and such.

I have been looking through this thread and see that most of you are taking 6,000 milligrams a day.
On the back of my bottle it says to take only one a day.

So im wondering if I should be taking 6,000 or 1,000 milligrams.
Does it depend on the brand?
And should I ignore what it say's on the back?
Sorry for all the question's but im confused:-\

I got mine from GNC the brand is optibolic CLA.
I don't want to be taking to much or to little so if anybody could recommend the proper dosage I would be really thankful.

Thanks in advance:)

Sorry girls to bring this topic up but I have some information that I felt needed to be shared. I jumped on the Tonalin Bandwagon about two months ago. I purchased a bottle from GNC. Two bottles later and no real results. I picked up a bottle of the EAS brand the other day and i can already tell that there are differences. There is a definate quality difference between the brands. I know that this stuff can be expensive, but i will be buying the name brand from now on.

I'm a vitamin/supplement junky so I decided to try this stuff out - the pills were HUGE, but I got 'em down.

Did anyone else get an upset stomach from them? Maybe I pulled a muscle at work or something but my insides are killing me - and making all sorts of funny gurlging noises - I hope I don't have a blow - out.

kittykat1971
03-03-2005, 08:11 PM
I always take mine with food and I haven't had any problems. If it still occurs, maybe take less than the recommended dose (i.e., one pill per meal vs. two?). Good luck, kat

Thats prolly where I screwed up, I'm in-between/juggling a slim-fast diet +low carb + trying a few suppliments, I'm trying to find out whats going to work best for me - my stomach was just too empty when I took 'em (appareantly a bagel isn't enough). Ha!

Thanks!

You know, I noticed a couple of times when I first started taking it (which was maybe a week or two ago) that my tummy would gurgle if I took them without food. They never made me sick but it just felt gurgly. I actually take a bunch of vitamins and one prescription pill at a time and the Tonalin goes down easiest because it's smooth and like gel on the outside.

ive been taking 6000 mg/day for two months, often without food, and I've never had any problems. guess I'm fortunate...

BTW, just to reiterate - I love this stuff!

Beaux

Bunny - yea, I didn't honk or anything - but my stomach was gurlging something fierce, I was afraid I'd be walking through wal-mart or something and blow out a huge fart. lol

I haven't noticed much difference yet from taking it. I've been taking it maybe two or three weeks though? I'm taking 3 pills a day of 1000 mg. Should I take more?

If anyone is feeling sick after taking Tonalin then take it back. Tonalin is an oil ( Safflower to be exact ) and oils can turn rancid when exposed to heat.
I started a thread about this topic about a month ago, after I got sick from them. I have been taking Tonalin for over 5 years and never had any problems until then.
Be sure to store ALL of your oils in a cool place.

I jumped on the bandwagon. I don't really need to lose weight, just need to tone up, trying to look like my avator again. I bought the Natures Bounty brand from Walmart. I've only been taking them for a week, one pill a day 1000mg. And I've already noticed a difference. It's working in the right places, my breast and butt are firmer and my skin is seriously soft. And my bf even noticed my butt and he doesn't know I'm taking these.

I haven't taken this supplement yet but I just checked out the web site.

It says that this pill is mostly saffleflower oil with a bovine geletin cover. So it there a saffleflower pill that could be taken instead that might make the pill smaller? It also says that they make a liquid that you can take by spoonful for those that have problems with the pill, or are vegan.

The site also reccomends that you take 3,000mgs a day.

I guess I'll have to go check these out.

You know, I've noticed my skin is softer too but I wasn't sure if it was the Tonalin or Oil of Olay body wash but it seems like it got a lot softer when I started taking Tonalin.

I started taking it today. I've been doing pilates for awhile now and just can't seem to get rid of my cellulite, so I decided I'd give it a try. Plus, my skin gets so dry here in the summer time, so hopefully it will help. I'll keep an update also.

I too have been taking tonalin cla, nothing but good things to say about it. If you do a search on cla you will find all the great benefits of it. A great website that I get all my supplements off of and at great prices is www.bodybuilding.com (http://www.bodybuilding.com/). It has every kind a supplement you need. They have Tonalin Cla for 14.97 for 90 gels. This is a great site!!!!
