 | Description of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) 800mg 180 Softgels, NOW Foods |  |
CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), a distinctive omega-6 fatty acid, has rapidly
become one of the most talked about weight loss products since its introduction
to the public in the late 90's. While small amounts can be obtained
from meat and dairy products, supplementation may have a substantial impact on
how effectively our body chemically decomposes and deposits fat in our cells.
Recent research has shown that use of CLA has proven to be highly effective in
reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass. And with most Americans consuming
less than one gram from their diet per day, NOW CLA is a smart choice for anyone
trying to maintain a healthy body weight.
CLA FAQ
What is CLA and what is it good for?
CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) is a naturally occurring derivative of linoleic
acid. Studies suggest that CLA may bring about favorable changes in body composition
by metabolizing fat for energy, which may assist with weight control.
CLA also possesses antioxidant activity, supports cardiovascular health, and
is currently being researched for possible anticarcinogenic activity.
NOW uses BioOriginal brand CLA, one of the best available CLA supplements derived
from safflower oil. It contains 70% CLA with no trans-fats present, comparable
to most brands on the market today.
How much CLA is in your supplement, and is it safe for anyone to take?
Six softgels supply 1000mg, of which 600mg is CLA. The softgel contains no animal
products. It is plant-derived from safflower oil and palm oil.
We do not recommend taking this supplement during pregnancy or breast-feeding.
While this product is safe, always check with your doctor when taking supplements
during or after pregnancy. It is not advisable to be on any weight loss program
