C onjugated L inoleic A cid ( CLA )
Botanical Source: Ruminantia
CAS:2420-56-6
Specification: Conjugated Linoleic Acid 98%
Description:
CLA is a fatty acid found in beef and dairy fats. Scientific interest in CLA was stimulated in
1988 when a University of Wisconsin researcher discovered its antioxidant properties in a
study of rats fed fried hamburger. CLA cannot be produced by the human body, but it can
be obtained through foods such as whole milk, butter, beef, and lamb.CLA may be one of
the most potent antioxidant substances in our diet.
In a preliminary study, CLA has also been shown to reduce body fat in people who are
overweight.CLA may be beneficial in other aspects, including prevention of breast and colon
cancer.Additional potential benefits include a reduction in food-induced allergic reactions, as well as the overall enhancement of the immune system .
Main Function:
1. Antioxidant and anti-cancer properties,and studies on mice and rats show encouraging results in hindering the
growth of tumors in mammary, skin, and colon tissues;
2. Losing Weight ;
3. Increases metabolic rate -- This would obviously be a positive benefit for thyroid patients, as hypothyroidism -- even when treated -- can reduce the metabolic rate in some people;
4. Decreases abdominal fat -- Adrenal imbalances and hormonal shifts that are common in thyroid patients frequently
cause rapid accumulation of abdominal fat, so this benefit could be quite helpful;
5. Enhances muscle growth -- Muscle burns fat, which also contributes to increased metabolism, which is useful in weight
loss and management;
6. Enhances immune system -- Since most cases of thyroid disease are autoimmune in nature, enhancing the immune
system's ability to function properly is a positive benefit.
7. Lowers cholesterol and triglycerides -- Since many thyroid patients have elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels, even with
treatment, this benefit can have an impact on a thyroid patient's health;
8. Lowers insulin resistance -- Insulin resistance is a risk for some hypothyroid patients, and lowering it can also help
prevent adult-onset diabetes and make it easier to control weight;
9. Reduc ing food-induced allergic reactions -- Since food allergies can be at play when weight loss becomes difficult, this can be of help
to thyroid patients;
