Tonalin is one such supplement. It contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and advocates say it can burn fat quickly, while preserving and honing the strength and shape of your muscles.

Losing weight is difficult, and anything that can give you an edge is worth considering. Supplements are tempting because they’re easy to take and promise big payoffs. Conjugated linoleic acid, or Tonalin CLA, promises to help you burn fat. Researchers haven’t been able to prove that it works, however. Until they do, it’s best to spend your dollars on something else.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid

An article from Science Direct states that conjugated linoleic acid is a conjugated fatty acid that typically comes from beef, lamb or dairy. Fatty acids are the product of digested fats. One of the most efficient forms of conjugated linoleic acid is from a brand called Tonalin. It uses CLA from safflower oil, which is extracted from a safflower plant.

CLA Supplementation in Humans

Unfortunately, studies in humans fail to show the same miraculous results as in animals. There’s some evidence that CLA can help you burn fat, but there’s enough evidence to the contrary to make it seem ineffective. Examine.com, a supplement research review website, claims that the results thus far in humans are lackluster.
