CLA

/// PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) is a fatty acid that can be mostly be found in beef, dairy products and vegetable oils. CLA is often used in the context of weight management. CLA supplementation decreases circulatory leptin levels⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ and shows beneficial effects on body composition.⁽³⁾ It can reduce body fat⁽⁴⁾ and may increase lean body mass in obese adults.⁽⁵⁾

Suited for:

• Persons that want to reduce their fat percentage without taking stimulants

• Overweight or obese persons that want to change their body composition

• Athletes that need to lose weight due to weight categories in their sport

/// ACTIVE INGREDIENTS PER SERVING (3 softgels)

CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)

CLA is made of safflower oil and contains no stimulants. CLA has a perfect mixture of the two active isomers (c9,t11) and (t10,c12). CLA supplementation decreases circulatory leptin levels and shows beneficial effects on body composition. Leptin is also called the satiety hormone. It helps to inhibit the feeling of hunger and it regulates the energy balance. Fat cells produce more leptin, which can make people who are overweight or obese leptin resistant. In other words, they are less sensitive to leptin. This means that the body is not able to detect the feeling of satiety. The body still triggers hunger responses, even though the energy stores and leptin levels are high. Supplementing CLA to your diet can reduce body fat and may increase lean body mass in obese adults, because the calorie intake can be better controlled. Each serving contains 3000mg CLA.
