CLA softgels by Designs For Health (DFH) 

CLA has been found to promote the body's natural fat metabolism making it easier to get your body in shape. Several studies investigating the effects of CLA on weight management and body composition confirm this. Studies show that supplementation with CLA aids in weight management by promoting fat loss. When weight is gained, or regained after a diet, CLA has been found to promote muscle growth as well as to inhibit the growth of fat cells improving the shape of the body.

CLA may have an unique effect on body fat by many means including:

• Inhibiting the transport mechanism of fat into fat cells. This way the size of these cells is reduced, which may lead to an improved body shape.
• Enhancing the activity of an enzyme present in the muscles. By stimulating this enzyme, it helps the body to build up more muscle mass.

CLA Helps Triglycerides
CLA seems to direct triglycerides away from storage and towards oxidation. A study published in the journal Nutrition discusses what happens after feeding animals an atherogenic diet followed by t10, c12 CLA and then looking at changes in muscle triacylglycerol. The CLA increased food efficiency and gastrocnemius muscle weight. CLA feeding also resulted in decreased muscle triacylglycerol content. The researchers concluded the following: “Decreased fatty acid uptake and increased fatty acid oxidation can contribute to the decreased muscle triacylglycerol content observed in hamsters fed the CLA diets. The increase in muscle fatty acid beta-oxidation might ultimately prevent storage of triacylglycerols in adipose tissue
