Hey!!
I just purchased some CLA.....it says to take one softgel daily. I was wondering if that is with food, or do I take it 30 min before my meal. It doesnt specify. Any help would be great!
Thanks! :-)

I've read you should take it with a meal (preferably lunch) , and not before bed time . I don't use it so I'm not a 100% sure, hopefully someone who's on it can give you a more informed answer. Cheers

How many mg's CLA is your pill? I use 1000 mg pills, and I take one WITH breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Good Luck!

CLA dosage
I take two capsules with breakfast lunch and dinner. I read a book that you need between 3 and 4 grams of CLA a day. The pills though 1000mg are not all CLA. It takes 6 caps a day for me to get 4.2 grams of CLA. I use prima force and a bottle of 180 caps last me 30 days.

5 to 6 caps is what the interesting research used. Try taking it with Borage Oil the GLA is synergestic with CLA.

I think mine are 250 mg of CLA.....it's from the new GNC line for woman called WellBEing. Directions say to take 1 pill daily, but I'm also going to be taking with Zenalean (ephedra). I'm not little either......5'10" about 150, but I want to lose 10 lbs.....so how many CLA pills should i take on a daily basis?

Yes, I read the same thing. I believe 6 grms throughout the day was the "sweet spot" for recomp in most people.
At 250mg per cap, that's going to be a crap load of pills!
I buy bulk CLA at 1000mgs per cap.
I did read that anything over 4 grms per day could potentially strain the liver. So much conflicting stuff out there...

oh gosh! I had no idea that was the recommended dosage for CLA. Okay, next time around, i will do more research and buy a pill with a higher mg count. Do you remember where you read that for fat loss, one should take a few grams?? What brand do you buy?

The clinical trials done concluded dosing of 3.4 g or higher in order to be efficacious. With regards to this, I would stick to 3-4 x 1000 mg pure CLA gels.

one of the only scientific studies done on humans found that doses above 3.4g a day don't increase the effectiveness. Supplement companies obviously want you to take more but its really not necessary.

Take CLA tabs with meals. 3 Tabs a day (1000 mg x 3) that makes it 3000 mg a day. It is quite helpful while on a cutting cycle. If you too are on cutting phase and not taking much carbs, go for B-Complex with Minerals.
Best Of Luck.
