CLA 1000: Conjugated Linoleic Acid
Product Highlights
- Decrease Body Fat
- Increase Fat Metabolism
- Increase Protein Synthesis
CLA - Conjugated Linoleic Acid - is not a new discovery as some
magazines would have you believe. However, a better understanding of its effects
are leading to potential applications that are extremely new and exciting. AST
Sports Science was the first company to report on CLA's possible benefits
to the athlete over two years ago, and recent studies are backing up our
predictions.
"Research Proven to Build Muscle, Reduce Body Fat, and Induce a Optimum
Cellular Environment For Improved Health!"
CLA was discovered by accident in 1978 by Michael W. Pariza at the
University of Wisconsin while looking for mutagen formations in meat during
cooking. CLA, found naturally in many animal products, consists of
positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid. The difference between the
two centers around CLA's conjugated double bonds at carbon atoms 10 and
12 or 9 and 11. The 9 cis, 11 trans isomer is considered the most biologically
active form of CLA.
Although all the intricacies of CLA are not fully understood, it is
widely accepted in the research community that CLA counterbalances the negative
effects of linoleic acid and regulates fat and protein metabolism in animals.
Pariza, director of the Food Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin
said, A growing body of data indicates that CLA is a newly recognized nutrient
that functions to regulate energy retention and metabolism. CLA can best
be described as a Growth Factor.
Food intake efficiency! CLA has been shown in animal studies to
increase growth rate through increased feed efficiency. In controlled studies,
animals that had their diets supplemented with CLA increased their body
protein (muscle tissue) while at the same time, had a significant decrease in
body fat. This all occurred in the CLA supplemented animals while their
food intake was decreased. Their lean mass increased even though they were
eating less! This indicates that CLA increases feed efficiency and also
points to a potent nutrient repartitioning effect.
This significant change in body composition can also be attributed in part to
CLA's effect on immune function. When CLA levels fall,
interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-a are involved in the accumulation of
body fat. CLA has been shown to inhibit the lean tissue wasting caused by
high levels of these cytokines.
Actual human studies are on the way with anticipation of similar outcomes.
CLA may be the most significant bodybuilding nutrient discovered in this
decade. With anti-catabolic effects rivaling even the strongest pharmaceutical
compounds, CLA is a naturally occurring nutrient with the ability to help
you pack on lean muscle, reduce body fat and at the same time possesses health
promoting properties.
CLA occurs naturally in foods such as milk, cheese, beef, and lamb as
well as many processed foods. One processed food in particular that's high in
CLA is Cheez Wiz. But getting enough CLA from your diet for the
preferred benefit would require considerable intake of these types of foods.
This is not only impractical, but would also have a seriously negative impact on
your metabolism due to the high caloric penalty you would pay.
Since this research has surfaced, a more economical and efficient way to get
the required CLA has been devised. Through advanced lipid technology, a
CLA synthesizing process allows for precision intake through premeasured
softgel capsules. This allows for precise CLA intake at determined time
intervals without the high calorie food consumption. Not only has CLA
been shown to increase muscle mass while reducing body fat, studies have also
shown remarkable anti-catabolic, antioxidant, immune enhancement, and
anti-cancer benefits. Several other studies have even revealed dramatic
cholesterol reducing effects. All this from a structured lipid. A designer fat
if you would.
To the athlete looking to add more muscle and drop body fat, CLA is a
unique discovery that will make accomplishing this feat easier and faster, all
the while having positive effects on immune function and antioxidant status, as
well as cholesterol lowering effects.
Why Supplementing With CLA Is The Only Way!
On average, foods rich in CLA contain approximately 7 milligrams of
CLA per gram of fat. To get the amount of CLA in one softgel capsule
of AST Sports Science CLA 1000, you would have to consume over 64 grams
of fat! To consume the recommended intake of CLA for the desired lean
muscle gain and fat loss benefits, you have to take in a whopping 579 grams of
fat from foods rich in this unique nutrient. That's over 5000 calories from fat.
This is totally impractical in every sense of the word. With the development of
CLA 1000, you put science and technology in your arsenal for building
muscle. AST Sports Science uses advanced lipid technology to harness the
muscle building, fat reducing, and health protecting power of CLA in
convenient, easy to swallow softgel capsules. Don't wait another minute. Start
building muscle and losing body fat the safe, natural and effective way.
