    What are the benefits/side effects of taking soomething in which this is an active ingredient?

    It supposedly has quite a good fat burning effect.

    What are your experiences with it. What products would you reccommend which(on the Irish market) have this as a main component?

    CLA was used as a fat loss product but recently they found it is v v good at breaking down fats that block up arteries around the heart, I think that is its main use now. I have it in my shop in pure form 90 750mg caps for 29.99.

    I hope I'm using the right terms here. CLA it inhibits the conversion of Tryglicerides in the bloodstream into Adipose (Fat) tissue. It will give you a small edge in reducing fat, however I woultn't class it as a fat burner. I tried GNC brand a couple of months ago. Over the period of a month I reduced my Body Fat % by 2 whilst putting on muscle. However after the CLA ran out I experienced the same BF% loss the next month.
    Overall I would say that if your diet and routine is correct CLA will not aid significantly in fat loss.

    And one of the best natural sources is butter so stop taking those spreadable ones i.e. flora low low etc all complete junk

    Just out of curiosity is it advisable to take CLA and Lipo-6 at the same time?

    There is another thread about this, I think it's on page two. That Lipo-6 stuff is supposedly good.
