natural weight loss products

April 2002

Spring is here...patients are trying natural weight loss products.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is big. It's in lots of popular products...Body Solutions...Diene-O-Lean...Tonalin.

CLA is a fatty acid promoted to help weight loss by destroying fat cells. Sounds exciting, but there's no good evidence that it causes significant weight loss. Don't recommend it.
