    Default WARNING Tonalin CLA Users

    Be sure your brand is made of SAFFLOWER not sunflower oil. Turns out they both have the active ingredient BUT safflower has a lot more of it. http://www.wellnesspartners.com/tonalin/faq.html

    Maybe this is a stupid question, but why couldn't one just take regular safflower oil instead of trying to swallow those giant pills? I loved the effects of Tonalin, but stopped taking it b/c the pills make me gag. Is it possible to get the same effects from taking plain old safflower oil? If so, how much oil is equal to a capsule of Tonalin?

    Yeah, you read my mind! It turns out the acid is an extract of the oil. The oil in the capsule is a delivery system for it so your body can assimilate it easily. You can still get benefits from using safflower oil BUT not nearly as fast as the concentrated, isolated acid.

    Cam, hopefully it's on the inactive ingredients list otherwise I'm stumped!

    I was taking safflower oil. Much cheaper than pills. I stopped taking it once someone pointed out (I believe CameronKeys) how she is gagging at the thought of swallowing plain oil. Once she put it that way, then I started gagging lol...

    Eh... mine doesn't say what it is... time to look for a more specific kind... maybe it'll be cheaper, too

    Does anyone know what kind of oil the cheap ones from vitacost.com have? I was reading in another thread that they work as well as the uber-expensive ones.
