Solgar Tonalin CLA - 1300ml Softgels, 60 Softgels

Best TONALIN brand form on market

I used this for three months, religiously. Four capsules daily and my overall body fat DID decrease, it was particularly noticeable in my thighs. The saddlebags I've been carrying around seemed to start shrinking. Thank you!! I've read CLA is supposed to target belly fat primarily but I'm an extreme pear shape and it still helped me lose fat where I store it the most. I stopped using it for six weeks and I noticed my thighs started getting fatter. If you're a pear shape then you know exactly what I mean when I say the saddlebags were getting "fatter." I'm not saying this is a miracle or that you are going to lose tons of weight because of this alone BUT it did help me. I just read where some health guru Dr. says that you should take SIX capsules daily for maximum results, so I'm going to TRY to do that and I'll update my review.

Have been taking this supplement for nearly 2 years now, upon recommendation from both my rheumatologist and endocrinologist. Does not upset my system, and helps muscle tissue. Great product from a great company. I trust quality from Solgar, and it delivers. My rheumatologist had suggested that I get 1300 mg since that would assure delivery of the targeted 1200 mg per dose. I take as per instructions: 1 tablet at breakfast) and 1 at dinner. Needs to be taken with food.

I should have known better than to expect results from yet another miracle supplement but hey, I was frustrated with the extra belly pudge and wanted to see if the Tonalin would give my diet a little extra boost. Notice how most of the positive reviews say something to the effect that they ate "a sensible calorie controlled diet and exercise[d] daily?" Well, therein lies the key to weight loss. I took one, twice a day, per the instructions. I did lose weight while taking this product, however, it was likely due to me replacing one meal with a salad and increasing my physical activity over a month's time. The 3-5lb weight loss was not significant enough to be attributed to the Tonalin, and since I've stopped taking it I've noticed no increase in weight or belly fat. I have however continued with my diet and exercise program. Since human studies on the use of CLA are mixed at best, I imagine you could take sugar pills and realize the same results.

Unfortunately about 10 of the softgels inside the jar were defective, and the oil was all over the inside and a mess, and I had to throw away half the jar. Seems to be a manufacturing issue. I wouldn't suggest buying these right now, until Solgar recalls these, and gets a handle on the quality control. I myself am going to choose a different brand of CLA for the time being.
