The natural health supplement conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been proven
to assist overweight adults keep their body fat mass down, without having to restrict calories or change exercise habits. The findings, published in the journal of nutrition, come from the extension of a 12-month study on 157 adults. It found that a daily intake of 3.4g of CLA, made by bio-synergy, produced an average nine per cent reduction in body fat mass. This represents about two kg in weight for a person weighing approximately round 80kg at the start, or the kind of weight loss that can be seen with a long-term exercise programme. CLA supplementation is also shown to improve the lean mass to body fat ratio, decreasing fat deposition, especially on the abdomen, and enhancing muscle growth. To achieve this, CLA reduces body fat by enhancing insulin sensitivity so that fatty acids and glucose can pass through muscle cell membranes and away from fat tissue. This results in an improved muscle to fat ratio. Compelling evidence indicates that CLA can promote youthful metabolic function and reduce body fat. The unique mechanisms by which this fatty acid protects against disease makes it an important addition to any supplement program. Conjugated
