Trusted Reviews, News,We take an in depth look at Complete Nutrition Tone to find out what it will do for your health and weight loss.
Complete Nutrition Tone does not really look like a diet pill! It will not suppress your appetite, bind or block fat or enhance your energy levels with stimulants. Instead, each capsule contains a blend of oils that may help with your muscle tone and may have fat burning capacities as well.
Complete Nutrition Tone contains a blend of oils in soft gel capsules. There is a fish oil concentrate derived from anchovies, mackerel and sardines , all fish high in omega 3, an essential fatty acid complex.
Omega 3 is crucial for good health because it helps maintain the metabolism (important in weight loss) and may be beneficial to heart health, lower LPD (bad) cholesterol and help with other medical conditions including mental health and prostate cancer.
In addition, Tone contains a blend of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) fatty oils derived from natural oils including coconut and flax seed oils. MCTs provide energy for the body and may help in the process of excess calorie burning and weight loss by promoting fat oxidation and reduced food intake.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid is also an important component. This group of unsaturated omega six fatty acids found in dairy products is believed to promote muscle growth and health and often shows up in body building supplements.
Take 2 softgels up to three times daily with meals.
To be used as part of a healthy lifestyle with regular physical activity and a proper diet of around 2000 calories per day.

Tone is made in Omaha. This information is printed on the supplement bottle although the manufacturer’s name and contact details are not provided.
According to the product advertising and the printing on the bottle, Tone is a toning formula that targets stubborn fat. There are three key features to Tone:
The advertising states that this supplement,
Promotes fat loss while maintaining existing lean muscle. The active ingredients in Tone™ support improved metabolism and energy as well as healthy heart function.
This all sounds good but we would have liked to see some links to clinical evidence or information about how these ingredients work.
Each serving of Tone contains 2000mg of active ingredients. The downside is that this is in the form of a proprietary blend, which means we cannot see a full ingredients breakdown.
Serving size is equal to 2 capsules.
Body Toning Blend
First up, we would have preferred to see full ingredients information because we are never impressed with proprietary blends. A proprietary blend can indicate there may be imbalances in the formulation of a supplement and we have covered this issue in a previous investigation into fat burners.
In addition, there are some health concerns about taking fatty acid supplements. Although these days we all know the importance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 compounds in a healthy diet, it does not necessarily follow that taking supplements will help you lose weight. There is no real evidence that Tone will help weight loss or muscle building.
If you are overweight, it may increase risk of diabetes and it may actually make you put weight on. This supplement may raise cholesterol levels.
Complete Nutrition supplements are only available from the company stores or online shop so there is no independent customer feedback. This means we cannot bring you any true-life customer experiences. Potential side effects may include:
Caution:
Do not exceed recommended dose.
Use only as directed.
Not intended for use by persons under 18 or by those with a serious medical condition.
Do not use if pregnant or nursing.
Please consult your physician before using this product.
In addition to the warnings, you should avoid this supplement if you are allergic to fish or soybeans.
There are some customer reviews on the product page and not all are positive. One positive reviewer reported,
I have been struggling with seeing more tone in my body after losing the baby weight from my first child. Tones have helped me see results that I was starting to think wasn’t going to happen. I can see my arms and stomach and legs looking more muscular and leaner. Great product I would recommend to anyone that is willing to listen and see the results for themselves!
And
I really like this product because it’s gluten free and has coconut oil in it. I have been noticing my complexion in my face has been getting better. I struggle with acne, but since using this product I noticed my acne is getting better. I also like it as well due to a slight increase in increased energy. My stubborn fat has decreased! GOOD STUFF!!!!
Not everyone is as pleased,
I’ve been taking this for a month and have added running 2.5-3 miles per day to my activity while lowering calories and have seen no changes. I’m not giving up yet, I was told it could take several weeks to kick in. I’m surprised to see people losing 3-4 pounds in the first few days.
The taste and smell of the capsules is an issue for some users.
One customer said,
This product has a very weird smell and eventually makes you taste that in your mouth.
Another customer reported,
I have a very distinct “Fishy” taste in my mouth… I will continue to take it just to see if it works but the taste does make me nauseous at times and it’s not a good taste left in your mouth.
We cannot really see how Tone will help you lose weight and if you are classified as obese, you should not take supplements containing CLA because they can increase diabetes risk.
There are risks to taking MCT supplements too. Although some tests suggests that it is healthy to replace cooking oils for MCT rich oils such as olive oil, there is not much evidence it is effective for fat burning in supplement form. It can raise cholesterol levels and many of the claims have been based on tests on animals that have a different body make up to humans.
However the most important omega 3 fatty acids; Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Alpha-Linoleic Acid (ALA) are present in this supplement and taking around 2000 -4000mg a day does seem to provide medical benefits.
According to some medical opinion, a good quality omega 3 supplement can lower triglycerides and decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke and although you can receive omega 3 in your diet by including more oily fish for example, many people lack this vital fatty acid group.
The problem is that this supplement contains a blend of ingredients in unknown quantities. We think if you wanted to take an omega 3 supplement for health, you could find better options than Tone.
You can buy Complete Nutrition Tone over the counter from a Complete Nutrition store if you have one in your area. You can check the locations of the stores via the Complete Nutrition website.
Alternatively, you can buy online from the complete Nutrition website. One bottle of 90 capsules (between 15 – 30 days supply) costs $49.99.

According to the information on the website, Complete Nutrition offer a returns policy that is valid for 30 days. Although it is not clear whether the company will only accept unopened bottles, the guarantee looks promising.
The information states,

We cannot see how Complete Nutrition Tone will help you lose weight. The evidence is just not there and although taking fatty acid supplements can be good for health, this does not necessarily equate to weight loss.
We love the omega 3 content but taking CLA is not proven to build muscle and there are concerns that it may increase the risk of diabetes. In addition, MCTs require more evidence for efficacy when taken in supplement form. It may be good for health to replace your cooking fat with olive oil for example but does this follow that taking a supplement containing MCT is good for health?
No and there are concerns that it may lead to increased cholesterol levels. In addition, MCT supplements do not come with much evidence that they cause weight loss in humans. Further evidence is necessary.
The lack of ingredients information is of concern. We would have liked to see the full ingredients breakdown of this supplement but this information was not provided so you really will have no idea of just what you are taking.
Finally, this supplement is expensive. Take in the way as advised and your bottle of Tone will only last 15 days. Not a very good deal when compared to other supplements on the market, which do provide a clear ingredients breakdown.
Overall, we have no other option but to reject Complete Nutrition Tone.
Thousands of customers have cut the fat with this fast and powerful thermogenic fat burner. Can suppress appetite, boost energy levels and elevate mood without the jitters.

I have used 3 Complete Nutrition products: (1) Tone (2) Adrenalize , and (3) V-Core.
I dropped 100 lbs, from 298 to 198 in approximately one year by combining these products with a 7-day strength and cardio program.
I am a married man in my 50s, but now younger women are aporoaching me, and some have tried to pick me up. A good female friend of my wife keeps grabbing my butt every chance she gets.
The reason? Well, I look like a bodybuilder now and I give a lot of credit to these products.
I feel good, and my doctors can’t believe my transformation. My wife can’t believe how good I am in bed…I can actually last longer, and I have more intense orgasms, which means my wife is also having them. Really, my appetite for sex has increased 10 fold!
Not sure why this author has given negative reviews for Tone..I swear by it.
I am so thrilled by it, if you have follow-up questions, feel free to use my email to contact me.
I started taking these Tone Gold pills about a month ago. I would take 2 pills with breakfast and one pill at night with dinner. I started feeling more trimmed and toned as long as I was taking the product. I recently went to Mexico for 2 weeks and left the pills at home on accident. In the time that I stopped taking the pills I immediately noticed a large amount of weight gain! I have now gained at least 10 pounds in just a few weeks! It’s a great product if you want to be on it for the rest of your life, but I would suggest losing weight the natural way. Bringing all of these supplements in to your diet is an easy way to fix the problem, but it is just temporarily. I would not recommend taking any diet pills just because once you stop, you are right back where you started again if not heavier. What is crazy to me is that I have always weighed 120, even when I have not worked out I have been always able to maintain my regular weight of 120….just taking these pills for 4 weeks and stopping I have gained 10 pounds! I am shocked at what the after effects have been. I wish there had been studies and forums with this information prior to me taking the product!
Rachel, did you work out and diet while taking them? you took one in the morning and two later in the day . The Bottle says take 1-2 a day. how long before you felt a difference and did you lose any weight on them? I just started taking them and sounds like they really did work for you. Also was that the only product you were taking? Thanks
sorry rachel, I read that wrong on the bottle it is 1-2 soft gels three times a day. 🙂
I respectfully disagree with this assessment of Tone Gold. It’s not intended to be a cure all for weight loss. The mechanism of action is different than, say, Hydroxycut. It’s not intended to be an appetite suppressant. It’s geared more towards athletes that want to maintain muscle mass and lose some fat. It costs the muscles and protects them during intense periods of exercise. Combined with the proper eating habits and training regimen, someone taking the product will see results. I am a fitness trainer for both the private sector and for the US Army. I use this product and I do see results. I know some people that also use it and see results. I agree with you that more clinical research should be conducted, however I can see within myself and others that it works with almost no side effects.
