Yea i would like the "which bottle is it" cleared up. Although i bought the EAS from Wal-Mart and have seen some results i wonder if there is one that is "The One" . Which is the best brand???

Mine is from Swanson's, and it kicked me into shape. It was only ten bucks too. (On sale.)

My unscientific research tells me that results depend on what brand you use. I got a giant bottle from GNC which did zip, nada, nothing. Then I bought a bottle of Natrol Tonalin CLA from Whole Foods and it worked like a charm - I lost 5 pounds in a week. I have to go back and get another bottle so I can work on the remaining 5 pounds.

GNC had two types of Tonalin. They have just regular CLA for $20 or their performance brand which mentions Tonalin on the label for $25.

I just took my first dose yesterday- 2 in the mornining and 2 in the afternoon. Ill work up to 6 after I get use to them. They definatly curbed my appetite, I felt really full all day. Also I noticed about 20 minutes after I take them my tummy feels tighter, almost as if my stomach is sucking in on its own. Its only been a day but I think Im going to like them!

I had no idea certain brands would work better or differently.
I bought a 180capsule bottle from the Vitamin Shoppe brand and store. Didnt do jack!! Another $20 wasted.
I think Im going to try the Natrol brand..seems like there has been pretty good reviews.
I was just hesitant because last time they didnt work.

I've had them for about 2 weeks now. I look fitter, Hubby has noticed a reduction in cellulite on the back of my legs, my already soft skin is even softer, and . . . . is it just my immagination, or are my boobs firming up, too?
This stuff totally rocks!
TigersMilk
04-19-2005, 05:04 PM
Yea most people say your boobs get firmer too.
What brand are you using?
TigersMilk
04-19-2005, 08:42 PM
Well, I just bought a bottle...damn that was exspensive! The Natrol brand ...60cap/1000mg.
Is there anywhere where I can go in the store and buy is cheaper. I checked Target, Walgreens and Long but they dont carry it there. I got mine at Henry's Market.
edit: I did find a great place to buy them online for cheap.

There's some sort of stomach bug (virius) going around here and I already got sick and am recovering. I stopped taking Tonalin cause i got super sick and wasn't eating anything and haven't taken it yet, do you think its o.k. to take it even though i'm not 100% better? or should i wait till t his bug is over???
TigersMilk
04-20-2005, 12:07 PM
You didnt leave the bottle in the sun did ya? Like Farrah said in a different thread that can cause to "spoil" making it useless and can make you sick.
If it isnt that I would take it but a low dose just to have it in my body.
Stipperella
04-20-2005, 12:50 PM
I really don't know i was thinking maybe i did leave the bottle somewhere hot, but everybody seems to be getting sick lately that i think its just a bug going around.

I've been researching this stuff for the last couple days because of all the glowing praise on this site. What I found made me feel at ease with the product so I went out and bought some today. I got Country Life Tonalin CLA from Whole Foods.
I have one question about it though. According to the info I read, CLA reduces fat and builds lean muscle.
Has anyone noticed themselves developing too much muscle?
I already have great muscle tone just from dancing, I just need to de-fat. I really don't want to end up looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger in a few months.
Here's the lowdown on CLA for those interested: http://www.health-n-energy.com/cla.htm

So all of this tonalin talk has piqued my interest. Since this is safflower oil, is this something that can be taken with other diet pills? Have any of you done this? I am currently taking trimspa to lose a few lbs and I just bought a huge box, but want to try this stuff also. I tried to look this up on the internet and didn't see anything like this. Maybe I'll just have to put the trimspa for a while and try the tanolin...see what works best for me. :-\

I started the Tonalin CLA today...will report how it works!

OK I have been on this for 5 days. Already I have had 2 comments from c ustomers saying how "well defined" my muscles look, and a friend complimenting me on my weight loss.
THIS STUFF ROCKS!!!!
TigersMilk

Thats awesome!! Woo hooo nothing better than some complients to boost your mood. Have you been working out or just doing the stage?

Hey TM, what's up?
Oh TM I have been working out since the baby was born 3.5 years ago, but then I hit a plateau. No matter how much I worked out, I would not lose any more of the baby weight! Grrrr.
Since I started dancing 4 months ago I lost some more weight, and since using the tonalin I think I must have lost a couple. I am careful how I eat too. I think I have about 5 more lbs to go til I reach my prepregnancy weight.
Yes. It feels awesome to hear compliments. My clothes are getting loose! It may be time to go shopping for a smaller size soon! YAY!!!! :)

I know I'm late on this one :ashamed: but I'm still catchin' up here! Someone please explain to me how much of this stuff you're supposed to take and if you can take it with other diet pills. I am a xenadrine efx and hydroxycut junkie, but if you take them too long, they stop working.

Your dose can vary from 2-6 pills a day, with food. Depends on what kind of results you want and how fast....and how you take to the supplement.
I cannot speak for heavy working out, I just walk and jog but others have reported results from accelerated weight loss after a couple weeks, to weight gain due to added muscle bulk.
There is info on the internet about Tonalin. My bodybuilder friend gave it the thumbs-up in the safety department.

:hyper: This brand rocks!!!!!!!
"NOW Sports CLA Extreme" with L-Carnitine, Guarana and Green Tea. I paid under $20 for 90 softgels at my local health food store for it...
Check out
This gave me a great boost, and I took 3 with a light meal & no intestinal drama.

So this is supposed to help get rid of cellulite too?
malloryknox
05-12-2007, 09:17 PM
Ok duh sorry.....so Tonalin CLA is the name brand and all the others are just generic versions and you take up to 6,000 mg. a day?

I checked it out on the website and Walmart has it under the brand Nature's Bounty I think.

i've been using it for several months...1000mgs twice a day, someontimes 3x a day depending on my stomach. i've noticed a definate reduction in my cellulite
malloryknox
05-13-2007, 09:46 PM
So some of you can easily take 6,000 mg. a day and have no stomach problems?
I am just starting at 4,000 to see if it makes me sick or not.
ExoticEngineer
05-13-2007, 10:51 PM
I love this wonderful little magic pill. LOVE IT! I've been taking it for over 6 months. My skin is wonderful, my cellulite is non existant and I am slowly cutting the waist back. It is the first part I gain, and the last part I lose. Stubborn stubborn stubborn! But this stuff does wonders!
After 6 mos of it, I am now going to start taking it with Chromium P, and increasing my Vitamin C (guy at Hi Health said this would help things along)
You have to stick with the pills though. I stopped, got lazy for a week and really saw it.

I had the worse stomach cramps on this stuff. I took the Tonalin brand. Ugh, I would feel my stomach bloat from the gas it caused then causing me gas cramps too.
ExoticEngineer
05-13-2007, 11:02 PM
Ahh, the gas. Yah.... there's that. I found milk helped. And I'm sort of a gassy girl anyway, so I take precautions, GasX, etc....
TigersMilk
05-13-2007, 11:05 PM
^^ Dur...I should have remembered gas-X stuff. The strips work really well btw... I took them for other gas one time. Does it ever go away?
ExoticEngineer
05-13-2007, 11:11 PM
Yah, It stopped after a while, my body seemed to just get used to the idea. Also, eating so many veggies and stuff, salads, that all worked against me.

I couldnt find the Tonalin at Walmart. Is it under a different name? I found the chronium P though so i picked that up.
Now just Vit C and Tonalin. maybe GNC has it..

If you look at Walmart its in a black bottle with a blue cap, it has a blue label and it is by REXALL it says CLA 1000 mg. That was the one at my Walmart any way.
HTH :)

Yeah, mine was by REXALL, too. It had a silver cap, though. I bought mine a while back, though, so it could have changed since then. It was the brownish-blackish looking bottle, though.
