Ok so I caved and bought some at a GNC. it's the GNC brand Tonalin 2000 mg. I don't think the pills are that hard to take, since they're squishy soft gels. I did notice however that if i take them more than 5 minutes before I eat, my tummy feels a little queasy. but that's normal with all pills, bottom line don't try to starve yourself!!
I paid too much for it tho, 18 bucks for a bottle of 90. but that's what i get for not wanting to wait, i'll def order online when i re-up. think i'll def be taking some before and after pics.
oh and thanks everyone for all the good advice and tips!

My tonalin update: After taking the stuff for 7 months, I can honestly say that I don't think i'm ever going to go off it. It really works. I feel like I build muscle more easily. I have upper body strength like never before. And my cellulite is practically nonexistent. It really is a miracle pill.

I bought it today too. I was a huntress as neither Wal-Mart or Walgreens had it. I got the GNC brand- Has anyone had good results with it? I do work out my abs but realy need to start doing cardio like I used to (without the bf here that's not gonna be a prob!). The guy at GNC kind of explained to me how it worked and it makes sense... Updates soon

Resurrected thread time!
I LURV Tonalin CLA, I had very good luck with the Natrol brand taking 6000 mg a day. I started with that brand first.
Since then, other brands I've tried, I did not get the same results. Important that it has the Tonalin brand name on whatever you buy or you risk getting stuck with a cheaper version that uses sunflower oil rather than safflower. Huge difference!
Found a better brand via Wellness partners (I believe its wellnesspartners.com)
They have a 1285 mg Tonalin brand blend that is much better, as other brands claim 1000 mg but actually only give you 450 to 750 mg of actual CLA. Not cool! And only $18 a bottle for 90 caps.
I don't dance anymore, I'm a pro dominatrix but I still am very body conscious and can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that this stuff rocks!
Cellulite on the backs of my legs is waaaay smoother. Baby belly that I've had all my life is actually going away (wowzers on that alone)
I have a nice little wedge in between my legs when I stand with my legs together...nice! Never could get my legs trim enough before.
Working out and eating well helped, but there are times when I can't workout for a few weeks at a time and I still see the results.
I'm also a lead singer in a rock band and I am now able to wear much shorter skirts (yey) and my energy level on stage is incredible.
I will never ever be without this fabulous product ever again.
Another mention... people come up to me all the time and say that I look great and that my face looks brighter! I notice a nice rosy glow to my skin and that must be what they are talking about. I just look and feel healthier over all.

I just know the GNC CLA is tonalin
Does Natrol work much better then GNC Tonalin CLA? Thanks!

If it shows the Tonalin brand name on it, then it uses the proprietary tonalin process. Should be the same as Natrol. Is it 1000 mg?

I used the GNC brand for a few months and the celulite on the back of my thighs completely vanished. Like, GONE.
And then I started getting migraines literally 2-3 times a week, so I had to stop taking it. Did anyone else have this side effect? :/

Agreed, Tonalin is good stuff. Do you know if it can be considered a tax write-off?

zombie thread-- haha ^_^
does anyone know if this can help with PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome)
im thinking of getting this tmrw...maybe tonite..haha
I just started this stuff again today and I'm hyped. I need to lose 15 lbs. In the past it gave me an nice round ass! flat stomach and heavy cycles. today I have semi-diarrhea and today is my first day. I am also drinking green tea which is suppose to help speed up the metobolism.
I did notice that when I got off of CLA in the past I had flab and cellulite in places I NEVER had before. Dam-it.
I weighted in at 155.4 and I will let you all know in weeks to come how I am progressing.

Has anyone used the ALLMAX Nutrition brand CLA?

I just bought a big bottle of the CLA Extreme from Now Sports. It has decent reviews online and it comes with a vitamin/caffeine/polyphenol boost, but each pill only contains 750 mg. On day two of 4-6 pills/day, will report back!

^^^ That seems to be the #1 rec from this forum at least. I might try the 1000mg Natrol when I run out of this current bottle

^^^OOh I like the sound of that one! I need energy boosts! You probably need to be careful and not take them right before bed though...
I bought Natrol Tonalin CLA on ebay...should be here in a week. Hopefully it's the good brand!
I used to use the natrol brand and they are good. I always found though nothing beats just busting my ass in the gym and eating small, clean meals..

:wave: So I've read this entire thread (yes, all of the posts on all 11 pages...:blush:) and have come across a couple of people mentioning that taking Chromium Picolinate in combination with Tonalin CLA has reaped greater success in weight loss strides... Looking into Chromium Picolinate more closely, I've found that it may lead to mutated DNA, which I do not think anyone would like the sound of. Instead, I've found something called Chromium Polynicotinate that seems to be the same as Chromium Picolinate except doesn't have the side effect of mutated DNA.
My question is, does anyone here take Chromium Polynicotinate or Chromium Picolinate, and if so which brand is best, or if there is any difference among them... and if you've seen any effectiveness in taking either of these supplements (Chromium Polynicotinate or Chromium Picolinate). I am totally sold on Tonalin CLA (thank you for everyone on here sharing their experiences with it :worship:) and am getting that just as soon as I decide on Chromium Polynicotinate or Chromium Picolinate. Thank you so much! :masked: :optimist:
