WHAT IS CLA?

CLA is related to the omega-6 fatty acids, one of the two types of essential fatty acids that help the body increase metabolic rates, boost the immune system and keep cholesterol levels in check. CLA is found in dairy and animal fats, such as beef, lamb, whole milk, and eggs, but cannot be produced by the human body.

CLA is produced from linoleic acid (found in high amounts in sunflower and safflower oil) utilizing a process that gently converts the linoleic acid into conjugated linoleic acid. But how can a fatty acid help in the challenge of reducing body fat while increasing lean muscle mass?

A number of studies have demonstrated that CLA reduces fat mass, while increasing lean body mass3. A recent human study investigating the effect of 4.2g CLA/day in 53 normal healthy individuals led to a significant decrease (3.8%) in body fat compared with individuals not taking CLA4. In addition a study in obese and overweight populations demonstrated that at least 3.4 g CLA/d for a period of 12 weeks was necessary to see a significant reduction in body fat2.

 

CLA reduces body fat by increasing basal metabolic rates. In other words, it helps the body convert food more efficiently into energy. CLA doesn’t decrease overall body weight; rather, it keeps a little fat cell from getting bigger. This can alter the body’s fat-to-muscle ratio. In one study, it was found that those who stopped dieting and did not take CLA eventually put weight back on in a typical manner – about 75 percent fat to 25 percent muscle. Participants who stopped dieting, but kept taking CLA, also gained weight, but at a 50-50 fat-to-muscle ratio.

CLA’s benefits extend well beyond a more slender waist. Further studies suggest that in addition to increasing muscle strength and exercise endurance, CLA has a potent inhibitory effect on body-fat accumulation.

 

 

CLA BENEFITS FOR TRAINING

The combination of CLA and  can be very beneficial for everyone. A small trial investigated the effect of CLA on muscle development in 24 novice body builders consuming 7.2 grams of CLA or placebo per day for 6 weeks while completing body building 5. An increase in skin-fold corrected arm girth, body mass and leg press was seen in the CLA group compared to the placebo.
