What is Conjugated Linoleic Acid?
Conjugated linoleic acid, also known as CLA, is a nutrient found naturally in many of the foods we eat, particularly in meat and dairy products, and is also available as a weight loss diet supplement. Vegans and vegetarians may be deficient in CLA and should supplement their weight loss diet with a high-quality brand such as TonalinĀ® CLA which is made from safflower seed oil.
CLA is credited with many positive effects for people on a weight loss diet, such as:
- Increases metabolic rate
- Decreases abdominal fat
- Enhances muscle growth
- Lowers cholesterol and triglycerides
- Lowers insulin resistance
- Reduces food-induced allergic
- Enhances immune system
