Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)

Like all other fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid is basically a chain of carbon atoms. The position and types of bonds distinguish CLA from other fatty acids. CLA is a mixture of positional geometric isomers of linoleic acid (Omega 6); it is derived from Linoleic Acid and is readily incorporated into body fat stores (triglycerides) and all cell membranes (phospholipids).

Conjugated Linoleic Acid has been shown to reduce body fat in animals and humans adding weight loss. CLA inhibits fat storage by enhancing the ability of cell membranes (other than fat cells) to open up and allow the absorption of fats and other nutrients.

CLA also promotes the growth of muscles by letting nutrients into active muscle cells. That's why CLA has become such a popular supplement among body builders as well as people wishing to lose weight.

The fat reducing mechanism of CLA involves the rejuvenation of cell membranes in the muscles and connective tissues to allow fats to enter freely in order to generate energy and growth. This effect of CLA on cell membrane function is an enhancement of insulin sensitivity that may help in the overall treatment of Type II diabetes.

CLA builds muscle, reduces body fat, while protecting against atherosclerosis and a host of other aging-related diseases. CLA pushes glucose (blood sugar) into muscle and connective tissue cells instead of letting it turn into bodily fat. CLA also reduces protein degradation (catabolic metabolism) that occurs with advancing age.
Body builders and others are using CLA to help them shape their bodies, because it can help develop a better-looking as well as a healthier body.

CLA supplementation was also shown to improve the lean mass to body fat ratio, decreasing fat deposition, especially on the abdomen, and enhancing muscle growth. One mechanism whereby CLA reduces body fat is by enhancing insulin sensitivity so that fatty acids and glucose can pass through muscle cell membranes and away from fat tissue. This results in an improved muscle to fat ratio.

One of the healthiest fats known to science, CLA is a potent antioxidant with anticarcinogenic and immune stimulating activity. CLA is one of the few naturally derived substances demonstrated to have anticarcinogenic activity that is derived from animals, rather than plants. (CLA was first isolated from extracts of grilled ground beef.)
According to an article in Medical Oncology and Tumor Pharmacotherapy (Vol. 7, No. 2/3, pp.169-171, 1990), CLA represents "a new class of anticarcinogens."
It's also worth noting that recent discoveries in lipid research demonstrate that alteration of the source and quantity of lipids affects immune function. While the integrity of the immune system determines individual health and mediates metabolic status, CLA plays a crucial role in both of these processes.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid is one of the most popular weight loss, fat burning supplements around nowadays. 

Softgels

The human study with these CLA soft gel showed that after the test of more than 40 obese or overweight persons took the CLA soft gel for 2 months, their body fat reduced significantly, especially the fat loss in abdomen, stem, deltoid, scapular, navel and axilla. After the test, most of tested persons feel that they have gained more energy and sleeping well. Our CLA soft gel also decreased the high blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

CLA Oils BULK

CLA-TG(CLA-Triglycerides)--The product is the bulk oil in triglycerides form containing 75%-90% CLA, the CLA content can be produced according to consumers’ need. This product has fatty acid tasty with slightly yellow color. Moreover, it can be used as the food additive, edible oil, in bread, ham, milk, and beverage, etc.

CLA Powder

The CLA in the powders can be free fatty acid, ethyl ester or triglyceride form. The highest oil content in the microencapsulated gels can reach 60%. There are very flowable and very easily disperse in water. CLA Powder can be esealy added into bread, ham, milk powder, and beverage, etc.

Ca-CLA Powder

The Calcium content in the product is 6-8%, CLA content is 78%-84%. Ca-CLA not only has the physiological functions of CLA, but also can be used as the calcium supplement to humans and animals. It can be applied as food and feed additives, or made into capsules, tablets. Ca-CLA especially effective for ruminant animals like cow and sheep, it can also be fed pig and chicken, etc.

CLA Feed Additive for Animals (Bulk)

These products are the unique CLA feed additive. Their physical form may be liquid or powder. As chicken feed, it can decrease the cholesterol content in the eggs by 30%-50%. As diary cattle feed, it can decrease milk fat by more than 30%. By adding the products into the feeds of pig, dog and fish, the animals’ body fat will be decreased, and CLA content in their tissues will increase. In addition, the CLA feed additive can promote health and immunity of the animals, and increase the feed efficiency.
