CLA

[karen1976]

I was just curious as to who out there takes CLA daily. I've been taking it [TONALIN CLA] for a while now and found that it has really increased my insulin sensitivity -- I've been able to cut back my doses (which I LOVE!). It took a few weeks, for me anyway, to notice the difference... but there has definitely been one. (CLA also helps reduce belly fat...)

Anyhow, as I said, just curious...

Hope everyone is doing well and getting to enjoy some summer weather!

Thanks, Blair! The summer's been good so far -- busy with work, but it looks like I finally have some holiday time coming my way... !

Hm.. Not sure what CLA is :lol: Maybe i do and maybe i don't take them :laugh:

Hi Vytautas,

Essentially CLA [conjugated linoleic acid] is a good fatty acid taken in gel-cap form. I use "Tonalin CLA", which many companies carry. Benefits include:

• increased metabolic rate -- this also promotes normal thyroid function.
•*decrease in abdominal fat.
•*helps maintain normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
• helps maintain normal insulin levels.
• enhances your immune system

Hope everyone has a LUCKY Friday the 13th!

Oh... In that case i don't use it

Still, it's great advise especially since you're so enthousiastic about it, Karen. Thank you!
