Odd question about supplement

Hello,

Here is an odd question (but most of my questions are odd anyhow...).

Have any of you ever taken the supplement called "CLA Tonalin"? It is marketed to reduce fat while building lean muscle tone. Did you have any side effects?

I have been taking it for the past couple months and have been newly experiencing strange moods during that time. Almost manic feeling of anger (my outward behavior is the same). This CLA Tonalin is the only different thing in terms of what i've been ingesting.

The only different thing is an increase in cardio exercise, which i hadn't done before (and which, if anything, has a distinctly euphoric effect!)

So, sorry for the bizarre question, but i thought it would be worth it to ask if anyone has taken CLA Tonalin with any ill-effect.

i've never heard of it, but if you suspect that's causing the mood swings, i'd stop taking it. as a rule, i'm opposed to supplements other than multivitamins.

I have taken it and didn't notice any side effects. I'm sort of a moody person to begin with so if it did cause mood swings, I might not necessarily notice. (I also didn't see any results with it, FYI.)
