Cygen Labs CLA
Research has shown that CLA has been beneficial in lowering body fat!
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring fatty acid, commonly
found in small amounts in meat and dairy products. Research has shown that
supplementing with CLA will help build muscle and reduce fat, as well as having
anti-catabolic and antioxidant benefits.
A host of research has been conducted
on animals, under microscopes, and with humans to determine the impact of CLA on
disease. Results have shown CLA to be a potent ally for combating:
* Cancer: Animal studies show that as little as 0.5 percent CLA in your diet
could reduce tumors by over 50 percent, including the following types of cancer:
Breast, Colorectal, Lung, Skin and Stomach.
* Cardiovascular disease
* High blood pressure
* High Cholesterol and triglycerides
* Osteoporosis
* Insulin resistance: CLA’s actions actually mimic the effect of synthetic
diabetic drugs. Testing on mice with type 2 diabetes have shown CLA to improve
insulin action and reduce circulating glucose.
Even better, the early results from human trials are just as positive, when
consuming CLA for longer than eight weeks.
* Inflammation
* Immune system invaders
* Food-induced allergic reactions
Body Composition: Exciting research with humans has shown that CLA has been
beneficial in lowering body fat, with even greater improvement in those who
combine exercise with dietary intake of CLA. Animal research has been even more
promising, with significant improvements seen in both reducing body fat and in
increasing lean body mass.
Previous studies have shown that CLA reduces body fat while preserving muscle
tissue, and may also increase your metabolic rate. A study published in the
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who took 3.2 grams of
CLA a day had a drop in fat mass of about 0.2 pounds a week (that’s about one
pound a month) compared to those given a placebo.
Since CLA cannot be manufactured in the human body, you must get it from your
diet or supplementation.
