This product sounds much like another product called "Calorad".  It's a liquid taken at bedtime that is supposed to be a protien base to "burn fat" in the first 90 minutes of sleep.  Sound familiar?

Well, many people who have tried this product (which also contains no stimulants) have reported that it made sleep difficult because they felt "edgy" after taking it.

Since this mom has an 11 month old son, perhaps she would be amenable to waiting until the baby is older (ie sleeps through the night, or at least for several hours), then she could just take it right after the baby has his last nursing for the night?

This product is marketed by Mark Nutritionals and claims to reduce unwanted body fat while you sleep.  Mom called their service number and learned that the product is to be taken right before bed and works in the first 90 minutes of deep sleep. The active ingredients are collagen which they said was a protein, CLA which they said was a fatty acid that liquefied body fat, and aloe vera which is included for its antioxidant properties.  They assured her it contained no stimulants whatsoever, but also said the product was not recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers.  This sounded like a standard disclaimer to me and I am unsure of the safety of this product.  I am seeking your wisdom and opinions.
