Information About Tonalin Supplements

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) supplements can be used to reduce fat and tone muscles. 'Tonalin' is the only patented brand of CLA.

  1. Features

    • Conjugated Linoleic Acid is a fatty acid that suppresses the lipoprotein enzyme that breaks down fat and stores it in the body. Because CLA holds back this enzyme, the amount of fat that is broken down and stored is greatly reduced.

    Benefits

    • Clinical studies, which have been cited by the official Tonalin website and The Journal of Nutrition, have shown that Tonalin can decrease body fat, particularly around the stomach, and can increase lean muscle mass.

    Side Effects

    • The official Tonalin website states that no side effects have been reported by anyone taking the recommended daily dose. The Journal of Nutrition, however, cites research that shows that heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea and nausea may occur.

    Buying Tonalin

    • Different Tonalin brands are available and can be bought at health food stores, online or in large grocery stores such as Trader Joe's. Bottles that do not say 'Tonalin' on the label usually contain a lower density of CLA.

    Method

    • Tonalin capsules usually contain 1000mg of CLA and the recommended daily dose is 3,000 -- 4,000mg per day with meals.
