    Default Tonalin CLA report, also Milk Thistle recommendation

    Tonalin: the stuff is definitely working. I am taking 2-4 pills a day. It's shrinking my bellyfat noticeably, and making me poop more (not diarrhea or anything -- just more frequent bowel movements.) I suppose maybe it metabolizes and eliminates fat or something? That might explain the increased bloodstream lipid count reported in studies, and might also explain the acne some have described (more work for the liver?)

    I was having an increase in acne a few weeks ago, and started taking milk thistle (cheapest from Trader Joe's) -- 500 mg a night. No more big zits or major clogged pores! Wow! I suggest anyone with an acne problem try this stuff. Anyone with liver problems too -- it MAJORLY clears your liver, and this is backed up by studies. It can even reverse some kinds of liver disease and if you're taking painkillers or drinking alcohol daily, this stuff is your best friend.

    I found out about it when I was having these big cravings for parsley, capers, and artichokes last year -- turns out all of these foods heal the liver, and I was taking ibuprofen at the time, so I must have had some liver strain going on. When I started taking the milk thistle, all cravings stopped. :-)

    Definitely, milk thistle is probably the best healthy liver supplement out there.

    taken from bb.com:

    Silybum marianum (Milk Thistle) is an herb that has been used for thousands of years. The herb is a tall, stocky, plant that grows fruit, and is native to the Mediterranean.
    Milk thistle has been used almost exclusively to support excellent liver health. It is a very powerful antioxidant, and as such helps to remove toxic elements from the body. When the liver is damaged by alcohol consumption, steroid usage, pollutants, or any other environmental factor, milk thistle helps support the liver's ability to generate new liver cells.

    Just about every health/supplement store sells it.

    has anyone noticed that they are less hungry on the tonalin?
    I've been drinking a lot more water, so that may be part of it, but I have to force myself to eat over a thousand calories, where the last time I cut back on portions and ate smaller meals, I'd be bitchy and clawing at the fridge door if I ate less than 1100.
    It's like I'm indifferent to eating, and I've only been on the stuff for two days!!! and not even the full dose. I think I did three one day, upped to five, and then five today.

    Well CLA has calories and fat in it so maybe your body things its a food?
    Good to know that at 4000mg a day of tonalin CLA can work. Maybe its just me but about an hour after taking I can feel my intenstines get all rumbly.

    hmm. I'll eat in the middle and at the end of a meal so both pills don't hit the stomach at once. I've only had my stomach hurt once, and I just ate a half cup or more of cottage cheese really quickly and it subsided quickly.

    I just started taking Milk Thistle & I think this is making my face clear up & less oily. I'm also on an acne anti-biotic that wasn't working that well, so I think it's the Milk Thistle so far.

    Is anyone taking a combo of Tonalin CLA and Evening Primrose oil (gla) ?

    I read about it on a weight loss board, and it sounded like the gla ramped up the effects of the cla...

    The bottle I have says this on the label:

    Standardized Milk Thistle seed extract (80% silymarin) 175 mg
    Milk Thistle seed powder 20 mg

    I take one a day, in the morning. Along with the Hair pill and multi-vitamin.

    Then at night I take two capsules of Dynacin acne antibiotic. I'm suppose to take it day and night, but I rather take the two at night. 100 mg each pill, but with the two it's 200mg.


    This combo is working great for me. I'm not sure which one is doing the work more though.
