Effective CLA brands
The brand of CLA seems to be debated throughout the whole anarchy stack thread. I'm trying to decide on a cost effective brand of CLA to throw into the stack, and I figure a small poll might be beneficial to all the undecided out there.

I think you would want any CLA w/the Tonalin logo because of the specific isomers they have but I could be wrong. I'm not 100% positive.

Yeah, I've heard that. I know instynct has a sweet price on tonalin caps, but it's a lot of money to drop at one time. I was hoping some of the others would be at least somewhat effective.

the 10- and 12- isomers are supposed to be the effective ones, so i just compare the amount of those in CLA brands per dollar.

Thinfat from VPX is excellent stuff. Using it to diet down now and finding it to be very helpful for the maintenance of mass during my low carb diet!

i was seeing very little result from the "now " brand @ 6 grams/day. i think they're usually pretty legitimate. maybe my dose was just too low. don't know if i can afford to buy a quantity to do 10-20 grams/day unless i KNOW there will be huge results.

The problem with the NOW brand is that it contains only half dosages of the 10 and 12 isomer. You would have to double the NOW to get the same effectiveness from a Tonalin.

i am going to try another brand. I was at the store a month ago and I told the lady I use NOW. She said I will be amazed if I try another brand they have. She also suggested that I can double the NOW dosage.

Tonalin's not actually a brand, it's just patented formula(and I think it involves the manufacturing process).

But anyway, because of cheesy supplement companies popping up to take advantage of money making market, I look for the Tonalin tag on CLA products.

I see that CLA oil powder is being sold. I guess you could just cap it right? Wouldn't this be cost effective for $33 for 500 grams of CLA oil powder?

I agree, but CLA is derived from safflower or sunflower oil. The process to turn an oil into a powder seems it would denature the effectiveness of the CLA...
