CLA is a naturally occurring trans isomer of linoleic acid. It is unique
in structure because of the location of the double bonds in the
linoleic acid molecule. Pure Encapsulations' concentrated,
improved-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 key roles in many of CLA's
physiological properties. CLA may benefit body composition when used as
part of a healthy weight management program that includes a reduction in
dietary calories with increased physical activity. In a preliminary
human study involving 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.
Recommended Use: May help to support a modest reduction in fat mass when
used with a program of reduced intake of dietary calories and increased
physical activity.
