User Reviews for conjugated linoleic acid (cla)

I take 2 every morning with my coffee. No side effects. lost 10 pounds. about 1.5lbs a week. If you are cramping drink more water. For this and any other fat the more water you drink the more it will shed.

I took one, only one dose of CLA 1500 by Bronson & within two hours I had severe cramping in my legs that lasted over one hour. My left leg was much worse than the right leg. The Charlie horses were so severe it literally caused me to cry & Im a tough athletic person. I will never take this again nor do I recommend it. I tried it to shed a few extra winter pounds & had read conflicting articles on the product. Some reviews were great some horrible, I should’ve went with my gut after reading the bad reviews & not purchased it. Read More Read Less

Although CLA seemed to be working it caused a major health scare. My AST and ALT were in the 500’s. Dr ordered a Hep panel and liver ultrasound. I told her I was taking them. She advised I stop immediately and see if my #’s improve

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.

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.
