Tonalin CLA Article: The Best & Worst Supplements for Men
From herbal extracts to amino acids, there are thousands of supplements
promising health in a bottle. This A-to-Z guide separates the cures
from the quackery.
Stan Jones could have used a supplement guide like this one. In
1999, Jones, then a Libertarian candidate for a U.S. Senate seat
from Montana, began taking colloidal silver. He feared that Y2K
would result in a shortage of antibiotics, and he'd apparently heard
that colloidal silver has antibacterial and immunity-boosting properties.
What he didn't hear was that it also has a possible (and permanent)
side effect called argyria. Today, Stan Jones has blue skin.
The lesson: Supplements are serious medicine, and how smart you
are about what you swallow will largely determine whether you end
up healed or hurt. Or a different hue. But where do you go for that
knowledge? To an expert like me. As a professor of pharmacotherapy
at Washington State University and the answer man for Men's Health's
"Pills of Wisdom" column, I eat, sleep, and breathe supplements
(often literally). If it comes in a bottle or a blister pack, a
tablet or a tincture, I know what to expect after it enters my esophagus.
But I also know that information, like a vitamin, is worthless if
it isn't easily digestible, which is why I've created this A-to-Z
guide to the supplement aisle.
One more thing: I've saved you the trouble of looking in the Cs
for colloidal silver. This stuff is not a bug killer, but as Jones
found out, it sure can give a guy the blues.
C
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
Stress Buster
While vitamin C can't cure a cold, there's evidence it can shorten
the sniffles by a day. The C may also stand for "calm"--University
of Alabama researchers found that it may help halt the secretion
of stress hormones. And scurvy? Clears it right up.
> Best dosage for men: 500 mg daily
> Natural sources: Citrus fruit, tomatoes, bell peppers

Conjugated Linoleic Acid
Lard Burner
This fatty acid fights fat. Norwegian researchers recently reported
that subjects taking CLA for 1 year lost up to 8.7 percent of their
body fat.
> Best dosage for men: 3 grams (g) daily
> Natural sources: Whole milk, lamb, beef
