Is anyone taking Tonalin CLA? If so, did you have any side effects? A rash, hives, anything?

I took it a month ago and had to stop because I got a rash. However, I was also taking an antibiotic (Biaxin, then Avelox) for a severe sinus infection.

I took one last night to "start the supplement over again" and so far no rash or anything.

Your feedback is appreciated.

I'm taking it. I've been taking it for a little over a week now. The only thing I've noticed so far is that I'm getting a little acne all of a sudden. That and for the past couple of days I've been getting a headache when I wake up in the morning.

How much are you taking? I am currently taking 5800 mg.

I started taking 3000mg but got a rash...maybe. Now I am starting to take 1,000mg for a while to see if anything happens.

I ordered some from netrition and should be getting it soon. From what I've read, quite a few people get acne when they start taking it. Most of the brands have caramel color in them, which aggravates acne in some people (esp. from diet soda) I don't know if there's enough in it to actually cause a reaction, or maybe it's from the CLA itself. I ordered the NOW brand because it didn't have caramel color in the ingredients, however, it isn't the tonalin kind. Not even sure what the difference is, it says it's derived from safflower oil like all the other ones. I think I'll take it anyway and see what happens
