Tonalin CLA caplets seem to be getting some positive reviews these days from an assorted bunch of reputable sources. It’s enough to get me interested enough to give them a go. I struggle relentlessly with a stubborn 10 or 15 pounds and I need some sort of extra boost to get me on the right track. In the event that CLA doesn’t work for me then I have lost nothing because there are no side effects and the cost of a one or two month supply is fairly minimal.

I am impressed with what I have read so far on the subject. The two most interesting reports have come from two research universities in North America. One university is is American and is located in Wisconsin. The other university is Canadian and can be found in Guelph, Ontario. Both of these controlled scientific studies claim that Tonalin CLA really helps overweight people lose weight and maintain their new weights.

The Canadian study, based out of the University of Guelph was conducted first. It was an eight week study and studied 60 overweight adults. The research took special interest in monitoring the potential weight gain or loss change over the Christmas holiday period. The group that took the CLA supplements everyday lost weight in the period leading up to the holidays. Furthermore, this group did not gain any weight over the holidays even though they tended to over eat and they didn’t exercise. The placebo group gained weight in the weeks leading up to the holidays and then gained even more weight over the Christmas holidays.

Impressed by what they heard out of Canada, a group of researchers from the University of Wisconsin tried to repeat the Canadian results and were entirely successful. The American study used forty overweight adults and they studied them for six months including the 8 weeks used in the Canadian study. The participants in the American study also claimed to have lost fat from their belly region when they took daily a CLA pill. The cardiovascular experts were delighted with this extra result as belly fat can lead to heart disease which is a deadly threat to their patients.

By controlling for diet and exercise, the research teams could make certain that it was the CLA pill that was the catalyst for any weight changes. All of the subjects were carefully monitored. Both the American and Canadian research teams made sure that that all of the participating subjects consumed approximately the same amount of calories per day. Furthermore, all of the subjects had the same amount of daily exercise.

I find these research studies to be entirely credible. Research scientists at two respectable North American Universities designed, conducted and drew results from these studies. I am persuaded. I am going to start taking Tonalin CLA while continuing with my regular healthy diet and moderate exercise regime.
