Q: The long version…or Isn't all CLA the same anyway?
Actually, no. CLA was originally made from sunflower oil. After it was discovered that Safflower Oil produced much more of the fat loss ingredient than sunflower oil, the companies that were concerned with the effectiveness of their product switched to using Safflower Oil.
Because sunflower oil is less expensive some companies still use it, even though it won't produce the same results as Safflower Oil. So be sure you are getting 100% safflower oil in the product you buy. (Read the Label)
If you want to use the same product that was used in the clinical studies on fat loss, you need to purchase Tonalin Brand CLA. We encourage you to shop around and ask questions. You will find that most companies selling CLA don't really know what's in it.

Industry Secret Revealed:The nutritional industry has a little known secret they’d probably rather you didn’t find out. Known as “dusting”, this practice basically amounts to putting a tiny amount of an ingredient into their product just so they can include it on their label. They usually get away with this by calling a group of ingredients a “proprietary formula”. This basically means that they’re not going to tell you what is in their product. We believe that if you are going to be putting this in your body, you should know what it is. |
The above is important to note for CLA as some companies list their source of CLA as "sunflower/safflower"…well…which is it? You'd think they would know, wouldn't you. If you had to guess which they used, what would you say?…
We use 100% Tonalin brand CLA and we do this for the same reason it was used in the studies. It consistantly has the highest potency of CLA period.

Industry Secret #2:Q: When is 1000mg, NOT 1000mg? A: When you’re looking at a CLA label. A bottle of CLA labeled 1000mg does not contain 1000mg of CLA. Here’s why…The 1000mg the bottle is referring to is actually the carrier, or oil, that each capsule contains. The oil in the capsule contains some CLA. How much depends upon a number of factors including which type of oil is used (sunflower or safflower) and how it is processed. In order for a capsule to have 1000mg of CLA it would have to have a minimum of 1250mg of Safflower Oil and even more if it was made from sunflower oil. |
Our capsules contain 80% CLA, the highest you'll find anywhere. Other companies capsules have percentages as low as 60% or lower. Even the brands using Tonalin oil contain only 1000mg of oil providing 800mg of CLA. Our capsules contain 1285 mg of Tonalin!
This gives you a true 1000 mg of CLA, the most powerful capsule you can get. This is crucial because the human clinical trials used 3000mg of CLA daily. Since our capsules contain 1000mg of CLA you only need to take 3 capsules daily to get the same results achieved in the studies. Other brands require you to take take 4 or 5 of their pills to get your 3000mg of CLA. So you can see how much faster you would run through a bottle of our competitors than you would through ours.
It is imperative that you read the labels carefully to know what you're getting. Most companies don't want you to know the truth. We do. The more aware you are of the facts, the better you will be able to realize what a value our product provides. Beware of products not labeled Tonalin or products made from sunflower oil or a proprietary blend (this simply means that they don't want you to know what's in it as it is likely inferior).
In addition, when you purchase from us, you'll get something you don't get anywhere else. We give you an educational booklet telling you all about CLA, what it is and why it's important to take it (it's not just for burning fat and gaining lean muscle mass!) so that you can be informed about what you're putting in your body. We also offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you're not satisfied, we're not satisfied. We offer this guarantee because we have supreme confidence in the quality of our product.
We don't just sell it, we also take it as well. Just ask us.

Tonalin CLA FAQ's
1. What can Tonalin™ CLA do for me? 
2. How does Tonalin™ CLA work in the body?
3. What is Tonalin™ CLA made of?
5. Are there any other health benefits of Tonalin™ CLA?
6. What do I look for in purchasing CLA?
Q: What can Tonalin™ CLA do for me?
Laboratory research has indicated that Tonalin™ CLA can help you achieve your diet goals in two ways: first, CLA increases lean muscle which naturally slims your body. Secondly, the added muscle tissue automatically burns more calories than fat tissue, which in turn increases your metabolism. The result is as you diet, you’ll lose inches in the right places and you may drop clothes sizes without the dreaded yo-yo effect of losing and regaining. Why? Because you’re reducing body fat not just water.
Q: How does Tonalin™ CLA work in the body?
Tonalin™ CLA prevents fat from being deposited into the cells by speeding up the body’s fat metabolism. CLA also helps the body metabolize existing fat deposits. This fat then returns to the blood stream where it is used as energy by muscle cells and the liver.
Q: What is Tonalin™ CLA made of?
Tonalin® CLA is made through a proprietary process that converts the linoleic acid of safflowers into conjugated linoleic acid. Safflower is the richest source of linoleic acid. CLA in supplement form is necessary since it is exceedingly difficult to obtain an optimal level of CLA through diet alone.
Ruminate animals, like cows, have a special digestive system that converts linoleic acid into CLA. Normally we would receive CLA by eating beef and dairy foods. However, changes during the past 30 years in how cattle are raised (grain fed vs. grass fed) coupled with the trend toward low-fat dairy have drastically reduced the amount of CLA humans acquire through diet.
Human safety and dose response trials proved Tonalin® CLA is safe and efficacious. Numerous clinical studies have been conducted on the safety of CLA and no adverse side effects have been observed.
Unlike many unsafe supplements for weight loss, Tonalin® CLA DOES NOT contain any stimulants (contains NO ephedra or caffeine). In contrast, Tonalin® CLA is not only safe, its other and equally important health benefits make it a sound supplement choice for overall better health.
Q: Are there any other health benefits of Tonalin™ CLA?
Research shows Tonalin® CLA may now play an important role i nhelping reduce the incidence of breast cancer, helping improve asthma and allergy control, help control blood sugar levels (diabetes), and may help limit the extent of artherosclerosis which can lead to heart disease. According to Delbert R. Dorscheid, M.D., Ph.D., a cancer and asthma researcher on faculty at the University of Chicago in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, when a certain cell functions improperly this usually marks the beginning for the disease process. CLA alters the cellular signaling performed by certain fatty acid molecules, a pathway common to all cells. CLA’s benefit to these cells and the disease process related to that cell’s function may be the alteration in this signaling pathway. For this reason, Dr. Dorscheid calls Tonalin™ CLA a significant “health promoter.”
Q: What do I look for in purchasing CLA?
The short version:Be sure it is 100% Safflower Oil as sunflower oil or a blend will probably be cheaper, but cost you in the long run as it will have less of the fat loss ingredients you are looking for.
Each capsule should have at least 1250mg of oil so you get a total of 1000mg of actual CLA. This part is a little tricky, but if you read further we will do our best to explain.

Tonalin CLA Facts
Tonalin Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a safe and effective nutritional supplement that contains no stimulants of any kind.
First, Tonalin CLA increases lean muscle, which naturally slims your body (and makes you feel strong and healthy).
Secondly, your increased lean muscle burns more calories in order to function, thereby speeding up the fat burning process, which further slims your body.
As a result, you lose fat - in all the right places. You drop a clothes size. You feel great. All this - without the dreaded yo-yo effect.
Thirdly, Tonalin® CLA is now showing an important role as a multi-beneficial health promoter. More than 200 studies worldwide are indicating that CLA may help:
- reduce the incidence of breast cancer
- improve asthma
- allergy control
- blood sugar control (diabetes)
- contain the extent of atherosclerosis which can lead to heart disease
For additional health and wellness benefits, see our research section.
The Power of Tonalin
Studies show that CLA (the active ingredient in Tonalin® CLA) works three ways to help you achieve your diet goals.
CLA interferes with a substance in your body called lipoprotein lipase that helps store fat in your body. CLA helps your body use its existing fat for energy.
CLA increases lean muscle tissue, which naturally slims your body (and makes you feel strong and healthy). And the more muscle you have, the more calories your body uses in order to function, thereby speeding up the fat burning process.
As a result, you get smaller in all the right places. You drop clothes sizes. You look great. You feel great. And no yo-yo dieting effect.
Dietary CLA has been shown to effect body composition by creating a reduction in body fat and an enhancement of lean tissue or muscle. According to Michael Pariza at the University of Wisconsin, this area of CLA research is the most supported. Recently, the research has focused on clinical studies with much success; showing statistically significant reduction in body fat as measured by BMI (Body Mass Index). A significant decrease measured in waistline measured in inches, a positive result for weight loss in mildly overweight subjects and an increase in strength. Human clinical studies to substantiate improved body composition have been conducted worldwide. Positive results of CLA supplementation have been seen at research centers worldwide.
Kent State University, University of Memphis, University of Wisconsin, USDA Western Human Research Center, Medstat Research Ltd. in Norway, Uppsala University in Sweden, University of Kumanoto in Japan and University of Tours in France.
CLA appears to exert direct effects on adipocytes, which are the principle sites of fat storage and skeletal muscle cells and are the primary sites of fat combustion. It has been proposed that the physiologic mechanism of body fat reduction by CLA involves inhibition of fat storage in adipocytes coupled with elevated b-oxidation in skeletal muscle. An overall increase in skeletal muscle tissue may be mediated at least in part via the inhibition of immune-induced catabolism.
CLA is a metabolically active compound that has been demonstrated to dramatically reduce body fat and increase lean body tissue. The mechanisms of action are not completely understood, but because CLA has been shown to affect a wide variety of enzymes and hormones in the body, multiple mechanisms may come into play. Numerous human studies are in progress, which will make a stronger case for efficacy and dose response. Expectations are high that research will additionally show no regain of body fat lost, suggesting that Tonalin™ CLA should be included with every diet regimen.
Beyond Diet Goals
Not only does Tonalin® have no harmful side effects, but it's actually good for your body. As a matter of fact, scientists worldwide are just begining to understand CLA's wide range of potential health benefits. Here are quick summaries of CLA's current four principal health benefit areas.
Tonalin vs. Cancer
In the early 1980s, a noted doctor, Michael Pariza, working at the University of Wisconsin and his colleagues discovered that CLA interfered with the growth of cancer tumors.
Since then, a number of other studies have further shown CLA's cancer-fighting potential. Some of these studies have shown that CLA can suppress cancer development in animals, and in human cancer cell lines in vitro.
Dietary CLA also seems to protective against breast cancer in humans, as demonstrated in a large French study by Lavillonniere et. al. at the University Francois-Rabelais. When breast adipose tissue was collected at the time of surgery, higher levels of CLA in the control group suggested CLA's protective effect against breast cancer. A different study in Finland confirmed the reverse correlation between milkfat intake, which contains CLA and breast cancer.
Over the next few years, additional studies are planned to help further understand the role CLA may play in the fight against cancer.
Preventing and Treating Atheroscerosis
Over time, cholesterol and other substances can form plaque in your arteries, narrowing them, reducing your heart's blood supply. This is artherosclerosis, and it can kill you.
In a collaborative study where a diet high in cholesterol was fed along with CLA to animals, the data suggested that CLA could help prevent artherosclerosis. By week 12, the LDL and total cholesterol and triglyceride counts were markedly lower in the blood of the animals fed CLA.
Other studies have indicated that CLA reduces plasma lipoproteins and early aortic atherosclerosis in the animal model. According to Dr. David Kritchevsky at the Wistar Institute, another significant finding is the apparent ability of CLA to reduce the severity of preinduced atherosclerosis lesions in the animal model.
Overall, CLA has considerable potential for the prevention and treatment of artherosclerosis, and studies continue to reveal it's potential health benefits.
A Natural Ingredient for Diabetics
One of the most important health benefits of CLA could possibly be its ability to affect and treat some types of diabetes. According to Dr. Martha Belury at
Purdue University and Dr. John Vandel Heuvel at Penn State University,CLA normalizes impaired glucose tolerance in non insulin-dependent diabetes. In earlier experiments by Houseknecht et. al., it was observed that CLA and troglitazone reversed the symptoms of diabetes in a specific diabetic animal model. Effects included decreased
triglycerides, insulin and leptin, and improved glucose utilization. Belury and Vanden Heuvel conclude that CLA may represent an important agent for the treatment of Type II diabetes.
Because CLA isomers share many of the attributes of the clinical thiazolidinedione drug, troglitazone, without exhibiting as many side effects, CLA may represent a new insulin-sensitizing agent for treatment of Type II diabetes.
Additional clinical studies are scheduled at many universities worldwide in order to further explore the possibilities of using CLA for diabetes treatment.
Defense for Your Body's Defense System
In 1991, evidence obtained through the collaborative efforts of Dr. Mark Cook and Dr. Michael Pariza at the University of Wisconsin revealed the immune boosting potential of CLA. Feeding CLA to chicks provided partial protection against the catabolic effects of exposure to endotoxin. This research expanded to include rodents and supported the fact that CLA-fed animals exhibit enhanced immune functions.
CLA is the only known nutrient that enhances the immune system and protects against the harmful "cellular backlash" that occurs when the immune system is stimulated.
As published in sperate issues of Cancer Research, CLA has been shown to be an effective antioxidant in vitro according to Dr. Yeong Ha and in vivo according to Dr. Clement Ip. Because numerous studies indicate that oxidative reactions are associated with the development of cancer and atherosclerosis, CLA's ability to reduce the harmful effects of these oxidative reactions could be its most important health benefit
In addition, research suggests that CLA may ease the inflammation that occurs when the immune system is challenged.
The History of CLA
People used to receive healthy doses of CLA in their diets through regular consumption of beef and dairy fats. However, changes over the past 30 years in the way cattle are raised and in the foods people eat have lowered the amount of CLA people get from their diet.
Cattle are no longer pasture grazed, resulting in a decrease in their internal production of conjugated linoleic acid. Most individuals are concerned with cholesterol and fat so they eat less red meat and dairy products. This eliminates even more CLA from the average diet.
Fortunately, Natural scientists developed a proprietary process to convert the linoleic acid of pure safflower oil, into conjugated linoleic acid. It is difficult to obtain an optimal level of CLA through one's diet without over-consuming foods that are high in fat and cholesterol.
CLA was first identified in 1987 by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The identification of CLA resulted in nine years of experiments by Michael Pariza, PhD. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 1978, Dr. Pariza first noted an extract in beef that appeared to be an anitcarcinogenic. In 1987, he identified this extract as CLA. With this identification, came a surge of scientific studies and research on how CLA affects body mass and other beneficial effects on human health.
Extensive research is now showing CLA to play an important role as a multi-beneficial health promoter. More than 200 studies worldwide are indicating that CLA may help reduce the incidence of breast cancer, improve asthma, allergy control, and blood sugar control (diabetes), and limit the extent of atherosclerosis which can lead to heart disease.
