Conjugated Linoleic Acid
Conjugated Linoleic Acid- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Thermo CLA™:
At 5'5" 195lbs last year I first lost 35lbs then my weight loss stalled for months then I learned of CLA and Raspberry Ketones from Dr Oz, bought them and it kickstarted my weight loss metabolism and lost more weight. Since last November with holidays, I went up 6lbs and freaked. So NOW I'm back on these Thermo CLA and RK to kickstart again. Goal is to lose 15 lbs to reach 145 lbs. I don't workout. I'm on a slow carb diet. Take 200mg RK in the a.m. with 1 ThermoCLA and then 1 every 3hrs for 4 daily. I only have a fruit after 6pm. I have something to eat every 2hrs for a total 1000 calories daily. When I reach goal I'll increase calories slowly.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Thermo CLA™:
I have been taking this product for about a week now, and I have really noticed a difference not only in my energy level, I have also noticed it in my waistline as well. I lost 100lbs about a year ago. Right after I hit my goal weight I got pregnant. I gained about 75lbs.I had my son 6 months ago and have lost a total of 60lbs since then. I eat really well and exercise 5 days a week. But I was finding it hard to get these last couple pounds off. But with this product I have already noticed a big difference and have lost 4lbs.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Thermo CLA™:
Hi Everyone,
I just want to start off saying that, I am a firm NON user of energy pills, due to the fact that I have an anxiety disorder. I love working out at the gym and I definitely try to use the "natural energy" that my body produces for working out. In doing so, I find myself not always working out as hard as I would like, but having said; I can't take energy pills due to the fact that I get REALLY bad anxiety from taking them, "hydroxycut, etc."
But! I found a solution! The GNC Total Lean Thermal CLA has done wonders for me! When eating a nice nutritional breakfast and taking one pill before working out, I have found myself getting that extra burst of energy that I longed for. It definitely gives you the extra "pep" in your workout.
Results:
Depending on how hard you work out, you will sweat! You will feel the burst of energy coming through your body and it makes you feel good! I can honestly say, that this product makes me feel good and alive.
I had a baby about a year and a half ago and after taking Total Lean Thermal CLA, it has helped me not only get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but it has helped me lose an additonal 25 pounds.
I highly recommend this product to anyone who needs a little help at the gym with energy. Definitely eat something before you take it and if you don't feel anything, take another one! It won't be too much.
Good Luck!Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Thermo CLA™:
About a year and a half ago I lost about 40 lbs. Over the last 6 months I've been super lazy, and have not had the best eating habits to say the least. I wanted to get back into the swing of things and get back to that healthy lifestyle. I went to my local GNC and bought their Thermo CLA and total lean 25 shake products. Along with a diet of lean proteins, lots of veggies, fruits, and whole grains (paired with at least an hour of exercise daily), I am proud to say that this stuff has helped me turn my act around! I've lost about 5lbs in a little over a week, and am seeing some real changes in my body. I take 2 in the morning before work with one total lean 25 protein shake, and then 1 after lunch to prepare for my after school workout. I will say, being a teacher and getting up early can be really taxing, but this stuff gets me up and going, and keeps me going throughout the entire school day. This gives me the energy boost I need to take on my daily routine and workouts. The first few days I took these around 3-4 pm, and they did have an impact on sleeping. Since then I don't take my afternoon one past 2 pm. So, if you like to sleep do not take these anywhere near bedtime! Other than that, I have noticed that I am building more lean muscle along with my weight loss which was what I am aiming for. They do taste a little funky, but it's only for a second when you take them. I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to jump start their healthy lifestyle change.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Thermo CLA™:
Effective for curbing appetite and weight loss but be sure to drink a good amount of water to avoid dehydration from the caffeine. Taking later in the day/evening can interfere with sleep.
A few studies have confirmed that CLA can reduce HDL (good) cholesterol, which I believe may have occured. I wouldn't recommend this product for extended use but 1/2 serving works well to jump-start a diet or workout routine. The thermogenic benefits of Burn60 with some CLA is a good value.Pros
Cons
- Not Effective
Best Uses
- Everyday
Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Thermo CLA™:
I didn't find this product to really help with weight loss or appetite suppression. I've been an OxyElite Pro user and definitely prefer that over the Thermo CLA.
Pros
- Easy to swallow
Cons
- Not Effective
Best Uses
- Before Workout
- Everyday
Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Thermo CLA™:
I take the product w/ breakfast protein smoothie b4 morning workout. No jitters, no burst of energy, hungry all the time, sleep fine. Only side effect noticed was constipation. No pounds or inches lost after 3 wks. Will check in when bottle completed.
Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Thermo CLA™:
I've use this for a long time, but not sure if it's really works. And last time the ones I bought smells like brined fish, really smelly. But I'll keep using it unless there's evidence that it doesn't work.
