User Reviews for conjugated linoleic acid (cla)

I took one dose of CLA this morning. I am an otherwise healthy adult, just wanted a metabolism boost. It says it contains no stimulants, but my blood pressure shot up to a dangerous level by afternoon. I felt jittery, a lot of nervous energy, fatigue, vision problems...1 dose in. I definitely don't recommend this. Its clearly dangerous for some.

used for a 3 weeks and lost 6pounds. exactly what I wanted to lose. no side effects. skin looked glowing also.

Took only one capsule. Suffered intestinal cramps and diarrhea every two hours thereafter for entire day. Attempted to quell those side effects by taking bismuth after each such bout.

Insulin dosage decreased. Dosage went from 20 units to 7 units with no change in eating habits.

have taken Research Verified CLA for almost three months...have lost twenty five pounds...regained energy levels plus 10...lost appetite for sweets and high carb foods...take two capsules daily and plan on loosing another tn pounds...have tried other supplements but none work like CLA...am 67 years and pre diabetic...feel better than ever...had both knees replace six years ago which affected my hips...no more hip pain or knee pain...can't believe the difference...have no side effects...blood pressure is down although take blood pressure meds daily...doctor said if I loose thirty pounds he will take me off BP meds...CLA is so easy to use...BP is lower than it has been in a long time because of weight loss...Thank you CLA...I took a month for it to work so give it some time...Read More Read Less

BP Has risen while on this and am wondering if something in Belly Trim could be the cause.. (BP normally controlled by a diuretic)

I started getting neck cramps, and the exact same severe, disabling leg cramps/muscle spasms, that I get from ANY of the anti-cholesterol meds!

I have been using the Naturewise brand of CLA 1250 in conjunction with the Garcinia Cambogia and I have been using this since 02/03 and its been exactly 1 week and I have lose a total of 5-6lbs. I am more than happy about this working so well and I hope it continues. My only negative is that the pills are pretty big. I take between 2-3 pills 3x a day so thats anywhere between 6-9 pills a day. Hope this helps someone.

I have been just one month taking two pills twice per day with breakfast and lunch. I have to add that I have a controlled diet of 1600 calories per day low in carbs and fats. My diet was working slowly and I decided to include CLA. I have seen improvements. In one month 3 kilos of pure fat loss and my muscles still there intact. For me is not easy to loss weight, so is worth.

I've seen absolutely no weight loss results with adding CLA to my diet, despite low-cal intake, lots of water & exercise.

think it is increasing my blood pressure

I have been taking CLA faithfully for 4 months now and started seeing results almost instantly. I was 172 pounds when I started and shot down to 140 within that time frame. I have a small frame so 140 looks fantastic on me. Truthfully, I haven't been working out but I have been sticking to a 1200 calorie diet (not to say I haven't allowed myself a few cheat days). If you're seriously considering CLA I would definitely recommend giving it a shot. Make sure you take it with food when you start it otherwise you'll feel nauseous.Read More Read Less

within 2 weeks, started noticing increasing pain in muscles andjoints. by week 4, figuring out something was wrong but hadn't connected it to the cla. Body pain almost unbearable, mood swings, anger, tears.. Went off hte pills at 6 weeks (had only been taking 1/day thank goodness), within a week, pain subsiding. At 2 weeks off pills, still some increased joint pain. Hoping this gets back to normal soon

there have been no side effects....indigestion of any kind, easy to swallow regular bowels...

Took 3 pills per day with meals for the first 3 days and experienced dizziness on occasion and diahhrea. Stopping use until I get back to normal and then will try to restart with a lesser dose per day.

Other than the fact that the capsules keep rupturing and leave an unpleasant taste in the mouth. I have severe itchy rash combined with slight swelling. I think I'd rather stay fat!

I began taking CLA 1250 about 5 days ago and so far I have increased energy and less cravings. I will update later with details about how it helps with fat loss.

I had been working out and eating well for 6 or so months with little result. I tried this and within 2-3 weeks pounds started melting off, in the last 4 months I'm down 20lbs and I wasn't "overweight" when I started so this is really, truly impressive. I take 4 capsules daily.
