Decades of research indicate that Conjugated
Linoleic Acid (CLA) changes body composition by reducing body fat
and increasing and preserving lean muscle mass, giving you a leaner
and healthier appearance.
CLA works in the body in four ways:
1. It lowers your body-fat mass by decreasing the number and size
of apidocytes or fat cells that store most of our body fat.
2. It allows less storage of fat by decreasing Lipoprotein Lipase
(LPL) activity in our body. LPL is an enzyme that increases fat
deposition in cells.
3. It increases the rate of Apoptosis, which is the disintegration
of fat cells stored in the body.
4. It helps in the faster burning up of fat by increasing Carnitine
Palmitoyltransferase (CPT) activity. CPT is an enzyme that increases
further burning of fat cells.
Combined with healthy diet and exercise, CLA can help you lose
body fat and keep it off.
