CLA
CLA makes energy out of sugar, rather than it being stored as fat...
CLA is an essential fatty acid. This means that CLA must be taken in through diet because the body has no ability to produce it through the conversion of other fatty substances. Changes in commercial animal raising practices have drastically decreased the amount of CLA that is available in milk and meat products. CLA is responsible for moving dietary fats into cells. It also moves glucose (sugar) into cells so that it can be used to make energy, rather than being stored as fat.
It is related to the omega-6 fatty acids, one of the two types of essential fatty acids the help to increase metabolic rates, enhance the immune system, manage cholesterol levels, and is a potent antioxidant, although its exact mechanism for these functions is not fully understood.
Over the past few years CLA has grown in popularity for its use in weight loss. It decreases body fat, improves muscle tone and increases lean muscle mass. It also increases exercise tolerance or, the length of time that one can exercise.
It is also believed that CLA can have an impact on lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels as well as high blood pressure. There has been research done showing that it CLA also has potential in helping treating asthma, cardiovascular disease, inflammation and certain cell growths (breast, skin, stomach) however, more research is needed to prove these effects.
CLA can be purchased in soft gel capsules. The supplements vary in price depending on the amount of CLA that is available in each capsule. Some companies have patented processes that increase the yield of CLA from their chosen source, usually vegetable oil. Due to lack of evidence at the time, there has been no significant side effects or well-known drug interactions with CLA.
