Food for Thought: Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) (Nutrition House)

“CLA is produced by grazing animals (cows and goats). These animals have a unique digestive system which converts Omega 6 fatty acid found in the green plants they graze on into CLA, which is then stored in the animal’s tissues and milk. The supplement uses linoleic acid (a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in plant oils such as safflower). One would have to consume large amounts of meats dairy to get the same effect.” “To gain the benefits of CLA, [take…] 3-4 1000mg capsules a day (take [them] with each meal).”

Below are the benefits of CLA:

• Assists with weight loss
• Helps to reduce fatty liver and cholesterol
• Decreases lipid (fat) storage by increasing the rate of fat breakdown in fat tissue
• Turns existing fat into energy instead of storing it
• Helps to develop lean muscle tissue, which also burns fat

I have been taking CLA for a while now and have noticed a major difference when I take them regularly. MOM will never promote any product that has not been properly vetted by us first. And so it is…

Namaste,

Healing
