Hi everyone. I want to start taking these two supplements again. I have taken them both in the past but never at the same time.

So my question is - to those who take both - what times do you take what?

1) Phen? 30 minutes before breakfast ?

2) CLA ? When and what dose?

3) 5 HTP? Most websites say to take in the morning on a empty stomach or at night. I have seen a lot of dose suggestions but the one that seems to be the safest - according to Web MD - is 50mg.

Any advice appreciated....

1) Phen? 30 minutes before breakfast ? I take my Phen about 6:45 am and eat at least 2 hours after that.That's just the routine I am in.

2) CLA ? When and what dose? I take 2-1000 mg pills with my lunch and the same with my dinner.

3) 5 HTP? Most websites say to take in the morning on a empty stomach or at night. I have seen a lot of dose suggestions but the one that seems to be the safest - according to Web MD - is 50mg.

I just take 1-50 mg about 5:30-6:00 pm-about a half hour before dinner.I stay up until midnight or so.It really helps to control my appetite until the next morning.

Hey Anglea C. and Scottiesmac I have the same question concerning the CLA...I purchased it on today and not for sure when and when not to take them. I did not see any answer so I plan to look up something on the internet.
