Bronson Nutritionals Tonalin CLA-Review
Product Claims of Bronson Nutritionals Tonalin CLA
The theme of our product review today is a dietary supplement from Bronson Nutritionals called Tonalin CLA. The manufacturer of this product claim that daily use of CLA is associated with reduced visceral fat as well as increased muscle. This product might also be effective for diabetics because it also helps to lower blood sugar levels.
Ingredients
- Tonalin Safflower Oil - 3000mg
- Gelatin
- Vegetable Glycerin
- Natural Caramel Color
- Purified Water
This supplement only contains a 78-84% concentration of CLA. Similar products offer an 85% concentration of CLA per serving. The manufacturer does not state the source of the gelatin so it is unclear if it is suitable for vegetarians to use.
Dosage Instructions
Take two softgel capsules twice daily with food. This dose provides a daily dosage of 8000 mg of conjugated linoleic acid. This is too high an amount according to our research. An overdose of CLA can cause an accumulation of fat in the liver and the development of insulin resistance. The dosage instructions don't specify if there is a preferred time of day to take the supplement, or whether it's ok if you take all the capsules in one sitting.
Cost and Guarantee
You can purchase a bottle of 120 softgel capsules directly from the manufacturer's website for $14.99. This is enough for a one month's supply when taking four capsules per day. There is currently a 40% off promotion on this product so the regular price is $24.99. There are no bulk buying options for this size bottle but there are other sizes of bottles available where you can buy multiple bottles for a discount. Shipping is free if you spend over $49. The manufacturer offers a 100% guarantee for one year from purchase, and includes products that have already been opened.
Summary Of Our Bronson Nutritionals Tonalin CLA Review
There are a number of encouraging aspects of Bronson Tonalin CLA. We liked that it is made at an FDA cGMP registered facility, and that there is a strong one year long manufacturer's guarantee that also allows you to return opened bottles of capsules. This supplement is free from additives, preservatives, and fillers. Pricewise, this is a well priced product costing only $14.99 per bottle of 120 softgel capsules which is a one month supply of capsules. However, we do have some concerns. The instructions recommend a very high dosage of this supplement which means you are getting a potentially harmful daily dose of CLA which can lead to serious side effects. There are no bulk buying options for this size bottle and no new customer incentives. Shipping is free but only if you spend $49 or more. The dosage instructions don't specify if there is a preferred time of day to take the supplement, or whether it's ok if you take all capsules at one sitting. This supplement only offers a 78-84% concentration of CLA. The gelatin capsules are likely unsuitable for vegetarians to use. We suggest that you try to find an alternative CLA supplement with a safer daily dosage, that offers bulk buying discounts, and that includes free shipping.
