WHAT IS CLA? There are basically 3 types of fats: unsaturated fats, saturated fats and trans-fats. We have to eat certain types of fats to maintain healthy tissues and organs like the digestive tract and brain. These types of fats are called essential fatty acids and CLA falls into this category of polyunsaturated fats. CLA is categorized as an Omega-6 essential fatty acid. Humans need to consume a healthy ratio of Omega-3 fatty acids to Omega-6 fatty acids. Some of the properties of CLA is that it plays an important role in the immune system, adipocyte storage system and may even have some anabolic properties. CLA is typically found naturally in beef and dairy products. FAT AS FUEL* Some healthy fats, when consumed, can increase the utilization of and burning of stored fat within fat cells called adipocytes. CLA in both animal and some human studies have shown benefits to fat burning and fat loss. It appears that CLA is able to do this by the way it affects Fat burning metabolism Fat cell formation Adipocyte programed cell death Adipose oxidation (fat burning) that occurs with exercise. SUPPORT MUSCLE* Your body stores most of its energy as fat. Evolution has created a system where your body keeps energy stored for times where food may not be readily available. Thus we all need some fat stored in our bodies but, we certainly do not want too much. There is an ideal combination of lean muscle and stored fat that makes up an ideal body composition. Studies show that muscle gains are improved with appropriate fat intake. Of course, muscle gains and fat loss does not happen without proper exercise and nutrition. Some studies have shown that CLA will support anabolic growth by assisting in lean muscle mass gains when combined with proper exercise. The lean muscle improvement with CLA seems to be better supported by combining it with whey protein use.
