CLA
Conjugated Linoleic Acid
CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) has been shown to be a highly effective supplement to aid in weight loss and the conversion of fat to lean muscle mass in animal studies. It is used extensively by body builders and weight loss professionals. Whether you work out or work behind a desk, you can benefit from CLA.
CLA has shown to have anti-cancer properties and may be effective in inhibiting breast and prostate tumors as well as colo-rectal, stomach, and skin cancer, including melanoma. Scientists found CLA to be more strongly anti-carcinogenic than other fatty acid. What made CLA especially unique is that even low concentrations significantly inhibited cancer cell growth. CLA was also shown to improve the lean mass to body fat ratio, decreasing fat deposition, especially on the abdomen, and support muscle growth. CLA reduces body fat by enhancing insulin sensitivity so that fatty acids and glucose can pass through muscle cell membranes and away from fat tissue. This results in an improved muscle to fat ratios. Compelling evidence indicates that CLA can promote youthful metabolic function and reduce body fat. The unique mechanism by which this fatty acid protects against disease makes it an important addition to any supplement program.
Compared to previous generations, Americans are deficient in CLA because changes in cattle-feeding practices have decreased CLA content in meat and milk. For optimal CLA production, cows need to graze on grass rather than be artificially fattened in feed lots. The meat of grass-fed cows contains up to four times as much CLA. Today's dairy products have only about one third of the CLA content they used to have before 1960. One big reason for the current obesity epidemic in America could be CLA deficiency. Several animal studies showed that adding CLA to the diet resulted in leaner bodies. One 1996 study, for instance, showed as much as 58% lower body fat in CLA-supplemented mice.
May reduces body fat, may improves insulin sensitivity, may inhibit the growth of prostate cancer while Linoleic Acid promotes it, supplementation may help prevent the initiation, promotion and metastasis of breast cancer, immune-enhancing effects, Anti-Atherogenic affects, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, helps keep arteries clean, possible anti-osteoporosis effects, is an antioxidant and appears to be involved in absorbing fat-soluble vitamins, researchers believe CLA interacts with hormones called cytosine which is involved in accumulation of body fat and loss of body weight, has been shown to reduce both blood cholesterol and arteriosclerosis and CLA has been researched for more than eighteen years.
