CLA

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.
Using Clarinol CLA from Designs for Health, in conjunction with regular exercise and a healthy diet, is essential for good body weight management.

Size: 90 softgels
Each softgel contains:

  • Clarinol (80% CLAs) 1,000 mg

Other Ingredients: Gelatin, glycerin, water, caramel color.

Recommended Use
As a dietary supplement, take one softgel daily with meals or as directed by your health care practitioner.

Store In A Cool, Dry Place. Keep Out Of Reach Of Children.

This product does not contain wheat, yeast, soy protein, gluten, eggs dairy, corn, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

Food Sources of CLA: Found mainly in dairy products and also in beef and poultry, eggs, and corn oil. Bacteria that live in the intestine of humans can produce CLA from linoleic acid, but supplementation of a rich source of linoleic acid did not produce increases in blood levels of CLA in one human study.

  • Is this an ongoing supplement, like a vitamin would be?
    Yes, you do need to take this daily to acheive results with weight and fat loss. Long-term safety of this supplement seems to be fairly well researched at this point with no major side effects. Of side effects reported, gastrointestinal symptoms, such as abdominal distension, diarrhea, heartburn, and nausea were indicated in a clinical trial but at levels similar to placebo. In a randomized clinical trial using 6g of CLA (Clarinol?) daily for up to one year, researchers reported a lack of negative effects or other adverse events.
     
  • How much should I take?
    The research that shows the best results are where people taking 3 - 4 g /day. If each softgel has 1 g. I would recommend taking 1-2 softgels per meal for best results. Also, please be aware that while this supplement has had positive results for many, there are those that do not have such success according to the research. It is also very important to eat a healthy diet, without excessive calories and to exercise daily while taking CLA for best results.

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
