~CLA - Weight Loss Wonder
Trade name "Tonalin" - CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) is a
naturally occurring fatty acid that is found in primarily
meat and dairy products, and is also derived from safflower
oil. CLA has gained a lot of attention in the past few years,
due to its safe and effective use as a weight-loss product.
CLA not only helps with weight loss, but converts excess fat
into lean muscle mass.
There have been numerous studies showing that CLA is being
used for other health benefits besides weight loss, but the
main reason of its popularity seems to be focused on the reduction
of body fat. CLA increase lean muscle mass which helps slim
the body; because the more muscle mass, the more the body
uses up calories, thereby speeding up the fat-burning process.
Some of the studies have shown that people taking this supplement
lost a significant amount of weight without changing their
diet. CLA interferes with a substance in the body called "lipoprotein
lipase" which  stores
fat in the body. By interfering with this substance, the body
uses stored fat and turns it into energy.
Not only does this remarkable supplement help burn fat, but
it seems to interfere with the growth of tumors and cancer.
It has a great cancer-fighting potential. It has also been
shown to be effective against breast cancer. Some of the other
health benefits of using CLA, are for an enhanced immune system,
as well as for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protection.
Another interesting point is that CLA seems to have the ability
to prevent the build-up of cholesterol deposits in the arteries.
Diabetics may also benefit from CLA, because of its ability
to normalize impaired glucose tolerance in people who are
non-insulin dependant; thus playing an important part for
the treatment of Type 1 Diabetes. Studies are still being
conducted at many universities to explore other aspects of
using CLA.
Suggested use of this supplement should be 1 capsule with
each meal. Although this supplement has no known side effects,
caution should be used if you suffer from gallbladder problems,
liver disease, or if you have a problem with fat digestion.
Make sure you are getting pure CLA (Tonalin). CLA can be found
in health food stores.
