Do you guys take CLA? And if so at what times of the day do you take it?

I avoid it. Its a trans fat in a conjugated linkage. Unless you are obese it will have an adverse impact on lipid values and increase insulin resistance.

7-Keto DHEA is better and very thermogenic...

I've supplemented w/ CLA in the past and I wasn't impressed...OP, save your money.

Ur diet has to be super clean to really see any benefits.

Dairy (whole-fat dairy contains more CLA than low-fat) and various Meat (cows, lamb, buffalo, goat, deer and kangaroo) are naturally rich in CLA.

Studies show that dairy and meat from grass-fed cows have up to four times more CLA compared to grain-fed cows.

Thus, one doesn't really need to buy CLA as a supplement IMO.

I asked the guy at the counter at the local supp store about it a while back, and he said it's great, but slow acting so you need to take it for a long time before you see results. This rings alarm bells to me. Sounds like crap. i went to the butchers and bought some chicken breast instead.
