Can tonalin cla cause ketosis?

Answer by  MedStudent01 (1131)

Undetermined but theoretically no unless massive amounts are taken. Tonalin CLA is a conjugated linoleic acid and does not cause any sort of gluconeogenesis denial. The only forseeable situation in which it could happen if an obese person took massive amounts, and had massive insulin resistance as a result. However, such an event is unlikely.

It has not been widely reported that Tonalin CLA causes ketosis when taken as directed. It does, however, appear to cause diarrhea and stomach discomfort, which is common to supplements whose intended purpose is to block the absorption of dietary fats, which is what this is purported to do. You should always consult your physician before using diet supplements.

Tonalin CLA blocks fat from being absorbed, which results in the body burning stored body fat. T-CLA will cause your body to have more lean muscle and less fat, but not a significant amount of weight loss. T-CLA works well with a low carb diet but doesn't "cause" ketosis.

according to recent studies, Tonalin CLA is one of the best supplements for losing body fats. By all accounts, this is a highly recommended supplement, and in all of the literature, there was no references to this supplement causing ketosis. For any sort of supplement should first be discussed with a doctor, to see if it is right for you.

Tonalin CLA has not been studied by the FDA, nor approved by them either. It is a vitamin supplement used for weight loss. The label does not indicate that this drug causes your body to go into ketosis.

There is no scientific evidence that tonalin cla as an active ingredient for a dietary supplement could cause ketosis. It may have side effects like diarrhea if taken excessively.

Absolutely! Ketosis is the "process" of breaking down the fat cells in the body, and converting it them into energy. The supplement Tonalin CLA is primarily used as a weight loss aid, and claims to reduce the size and number of fat cells stored in the body.

I'm not really sure. You would be better off asking your family doctor because conditions vary from individual to individual.
