Conjugated Linoleic Acid for Weight Control
Conjugated Linoleic AcidWhy Do Dieters Use It?*
Some dieters say that CLA helps decrease appetite.
What Do the Advocates Say?*
Research suggests that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) may help to reduce body fat and increase muscle. The research supporting CLA's ability to help reduce body fat is good, but more is needed. There are at least seven human studies (two are double-blind and the others are controlled) showing significant reduction of abdominal obesity and body fat mass in overweight and moderately obese people. However, since most of the studies involved a small number of participants and were short in duration, larger double-blind studies are needed to further document the benefits and mechanisms of action.
Although CLA promotes weight loss, which is good for heart health, it is important to moniter cholesterol levels as it may reduce HDL ("good") cholesterol.
How Much Is Usually Taken by Dieters?
A double-blind trial found that exercising individuals taking 1,800 mg per day of CLA lost more body fat after 12 weeks than a similar group taking a placebo.1 However, two other studies found that amounts of CLA from 0.7 to 3.0 grams per day did not affect body composition.2, 3 Most double-blind trials have found that larger amounts of CLA, 3.4 to 4.2 grams per day, does reduce body fat;4, 5, 6 however, one double-blind study of experienced strength-training athletes reported no effect of 6 grams per day of CLA on body fat, muscle mass, or strength improvement.7

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® Active:
I started 3 days ago and thus far it has been some what of a production to get all of the pills down in the morning. I eat before I take them and then about 30-45 mins after as well, so I don't feel sick like I did the first day. I love that they are all together in their little package but they taste really bad and are just way too big for me.

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® Active:
These little packs are great. From the day I started taking them I noticed a large change in my energy level. I did not feel shaky or "buzzed" I just noticed I actually had energy to get through the work day, my afternoon workout and my evenings at home with my 2 year old son. I have been taking them for about 2 weeks and have lost a little over 7 lbs. I believe these helped jump start a weight loss plateau that I was on. Will definitely continue these as part of my daily routine. My only complaint is that I wish they would include an Omega 3,6,9 to the vitapak so I don't have to bring along 2 more vitamins.

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® Active:
Bought this for my wife to help her with all of the activities she does including full-time job, two teens, and a lazy husband. She takes one pack a day @ noon and now she has enough energy to finish a full day.

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® Active:
Bought these when the clerk convinced me to buy them instead of Green Coffee Bean pills. Have been taking them for over a week, I have not lost any weight and I am still tired all the time!! The pills are giant and taste awful. Will return them and get the Green Coffee Beans that I wanted originally. For those that have lost weight, I believe it was your hard work and dedication to the gym, not these pills!

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® Active:
I bought two packs on the BOGO 1/2 off. I returned the 2nd unopened pack. I could not stand to use this product anymore than 1/2 of the first one. It smelled horrible just opening the packet made me not want to take them daily - super strong vitamin smell. All of the vitamins are also really big and I had to take a big gulp of water just to swallow each one.

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® Active:
I was very happy with the GNC Energy & Metabolism vitamins I was taking prior to this product, but the clerk talked me into the Active Vitapak so I thought I'd give it a try. At first I took them all at once, after breakfast, which made me feel "off". I read some reviews and modified my routine to take them throughout the day instead, which helped make me feel less jittery and nauseous. However, I took the packs for a month and didn't feel it helped my daily workouts in any way. If anything I felt less focused and distracted because the caffein had me so amped up. It may be a good Vitapak for exercise beginners or women who need the extra energy in their day, but for the cost I didn't feel I saw any benefits or results. I'm switching back to the much more cost-effective Energy vitamins!

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® Active:
I would not recommend the product because I felt awful after having taken it. AS with everything new I start taking, I gave it about a week before I stopped taking it, but I already felt "not right" after the first time I took the contents of one packet. I have no problem with the number of pills in one packet. It is the way my stomach felt after (and the way I felt overall) that I could not take. I would feel fine immediately after taking the contents of the package, and I took it in the morning with food, as recommended, but then I would get a nauseas feeling and I would feel almost as if I had a cold coming on - just not right. And no, I was not actually experiencing pre-cold/flu symptoms as I never actually got sick within the days following. I stopped taking the packets after about a week and a half and felt normal again after discontinued use.

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® Active:
I would suggest taking the womens ultra mega active vitapak if your trying to lose weight to anybody to try it. I weighed 270 lbs and was a size 24. I tried taking the vitapak of 30 packages every month for 3 years and consumed a total of 11 boxes within those three years. I did 3hours a day of elipitical,treadmill,exercise bike, and light weights with the energy I got from the vitapak. It helped me to lose a lot of inches within those three years plus ate a healthy diet and consumed a lot of water, which brought me to a size 13 and 14 with about 9 inches of body fat from my stomach. I would recommend this to anybody if your trying to lose weight.
