OK, so Matt, what exactly is it that you have in inventory right now. Did we get certs to validate the 50:50?
Do we want to be taking something that is going to promote insulin resistance?

Some of the initial studies I saw looked very promising. As I researched closer, I realized the outlook wasn't as good as it had once seemed. Some of the BEST studies arent all that positive.
The famous Gaullier's study basically showed:
Both CLA groups lost weight -- about 4 pounds; the placebo group stayed the same.
The CLA syrup group had a 9% body fat loss; the CLA pill group had 7% loss; the placebo group had no body fat loss.
Both CLA groups had similar improvements in muscle mass.
On the downside:
The CLA pill group had slightly higher LDL "bad" cholesterol.
The CLA syrup group had slightly lower HDL "good" cholesterol.
Both CLA groups had higher lipoprotein levels, a marker of inflammation and heart disease.
Both CLA groups had higher white blood cell counts, which could trigger damaging artery inflammation.
The CLA groups had only modest changes in blood sugar levels, a marker for diabetes.
Gaullier J-M. et al., "Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplementation for one-year reduces body fat mass in healthy, overweight humans". American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2004; 79(6):1118-1125.
In addition, using CLA with AAS/Designers could really jack your lipid profiles up quicker and worse than if CLA was not used. Just food for thought.
Im on the fence, im not sure what I think. More recent human studies show weight loss but some of the other information is not too great.
