CLA
Conjugated Linoleic Acid is a natural fatty acid found in beef, lamb, and cheese, especially from grass-fed animals. A potent antioxidant, immune stimulant, and cancer-preventive agent in all species of animals tested, it also repartitioned their bodies, decreasing fat and fat cell size, while increasing lean body mass. A human study showed 20% reduced bodyfat over a 12 week period without change in diet or exercise. Recent studies showed CLA caused a 30-80% reduction in fat-pads on even relatively lean rats, and breast cancer cell growth was inhibited 11-20% while preventing metastasis to lungs & bone marrow. CLA decreases allergic & joint inflammation, improves fat transport across cell membranes, and lowers blood glucose and insulin levels while improving insulin sensitivity and energy expenditure. Our high grade safflower concentrate from Japan >77% CLA gels contain about 36% c9, t11 + t9, c11 isomers and 37% t10, c12 isomer; while the 60-80% powder is at least 25% each of c9, t11 & t10, c12. These isomers have been shown to be most effective for fat control and immune stimulation. Animal studies suggest 1g/day may offer people some cancer protection, while in human studies 3-4 grams per day seems to be the dose needed for fat loss. *809 guarana may increase CLA’s fat loss effect. |
