CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) 1000 Mg (60 Caps)

May promote a modest reduction in body fat when combined with a lifestyle that includes reduced dietary caloric intake and increased physical activity. Contains the main isomers c9,t11 and t10,c12 in a ratio of 39:39. CLA is a natural trans isomer of linoleic acid. It is unique in that its structure is due to the location of the double bonds in the linoleic acid molecule. Pure Encapsulations' concentrated and enhanced potency CLA provides an average of 77% total CLA, and contains the main isomers c9, t11 and T10, C12. Recent research shows that the specific isomers c9,t11 and t10,c12 play a key role in many physiological properties of CLA. CLA can be beneficial for the body when used as part of a weight management program that includes reduced dietary calories with increased physical activity. In a preliminary human study of 60 overweight subjects, conjugated linoleic acid reduced body fat mass when combined with a standard physical training program. Several animal studies have explored possible mechanisms of CLA, including the ability to moderate fat deposition, increase lipolysis in adipocytes, reduce energy intake, increase energy expenditure, and support metabolic rate.
