    Read it for yourself:

    CLA Supplement Profile

    http://www.1fast400.com/i28_CLA.html

    "For fat loss, the t10,c12 isomer is the important one, and the amount of this isomer present in studies in which significant fat loss was seen ranges from .5-2.5 g for 4-12 weeks (note that this is equivalent to about 2.5-12.5 g of CLA powder or 1.5-7.5 g of 30% t10,c12 CLA oil). More significant fat loss would be seen if the dosage was closer to that used in animal studies (which would be equivalent to upwards of 25 g of CLA oil daily [1]), but the risk of liver enlargement and insulin resistance will be proportionally increased, so this quantity is not recommended (nor is it economically feasible for most). It would be wiser to use a lower dose of CLA in conjunction with other fat loss agents, and monitor glucose and insulin levels and liver parameters if possible. Side effects reported in clinical trials include gastrointestinal discomfort and fatigue [4]."

    If you are taking anything for health reason, but as a supplement, which means it is to supplement something else. In this case, it is your diet and food you eat, thus you need to put more effort on eating the right food as much as you find a magic supplement. My suggestion is ===> vegetables, and I tried before and vegetables worked the best.

    "

    Claims -

    Builds muscle

    Burns fat

    Increases thermogenesis (calorie expenditure)

    Fights cancer

    Suppresses catabolic hormones

    Antioxidant "

    I took product which consists of CLA, but what it could do for me compared to the exercises I keep doing was little.

    ^_^ good luck
