Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring free fatty acid. CLA occurs naturally in foods such as cheese, milk, , lamb and beef as well as many processed foods - but only in small amounts. This of course would be of no use as it would require you to eat alot of calories.
CLA is proven by research to build muscle, reduce body fat, and help general improved health!
A European team led by the Swiss scientist Lukas Rist has found that mothers consuming mostly organic milk and meat products have about 50 percent higher levels of rumenic acid in their breast milk.
Studies on CLA in humans show a tendency for reduced body fat particularly abdominal fat, changes in serum total lipids and decreased whole body glucose uptake. The maximum reduction in body fat mass was achieved with a 3.4 g daily dose. CLA supplementation has, however, been shown to increase C-reactive protein levels, to possibly induce oxidative stress, to reduce insulin sensitivity and to increase lipid peroxidation. However, the significance of these findings is unknown, and other studies suggest that CLA may protect cells from oxidative damage by increasing glutathione levels without inducing lipid peroxidation. It remains possible, however, that observations of increased markers of lipid oxidation may be related to potentially desirable lipolytic effects. Further studies are necessary to establish clinical significance.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) 1000mg Capsules premium pure grade food supplement may provide an excellent means to achieve a replenishment of this fatty acid
