Here's what I wanted to know BEFORE I tried this
I don't write many Amazon reviews. I'm writing this so prospective purchasers can get an idea of my experience.
A bit about me...
I'm a 225lb, 6'0" black ex-Marine that used to weight train for the better part of the last 10 years. And as a single dad pushing 40 yrs old, only works out here and there nowadays. I also do my best to eat well and succeed 60-75% of the time so as not to have to workout as much.
I've been taking CLA for years on and off. Every dosage of CLA (until this one) was approximately half of the recommended dosage; around 1000mg. This brand, however, has DRAMATIC effects over a small period of time...and I assume it would continue if I kept taking them.
First things first...when you begin taking this stuff, WEIGH YOURSELF and MEASURE YOURSELF. CLA takes fat from ALL OVER your body. So if you're interested in where your fat is going, you'll need that info.
Secondly: When you start taking it, you will taste it for about the first week as it dissolves in your tummy. This doesn't bother me, but it may for some people. Also, the pills shown aren't the ones I got. The ones I have are clear brown.
Lastly...the results: I took this for 2 months starting in mid-November 2017, only did approx. 50-100 pushups each morning, went to work at a sedentary desk job and lost 20 lbs. By mid-January, I was 201 lbs and stopped. Every area on my body from my face down to my ankles lost fat, so the pills did their job.
Conclusion: There isn't anything special about these pills other than their dosage. I'm not sure if the oil itself is made differently than any of the other ones I've taken through the years. If not, ANY of the other CLA pills will work in higher dosages. That being said, I don't care for taking pills so these horse-pills will work for me. The results were dramatic in my situation, and I hope they will be in yours. Any questions, just ask.
GOOD LUCK!!!
