Conjugated linoleic acid, a fatty acid found in dairy products and other animal fats, has many beneficial biological effects. There is a great deal of interest in the relationship between CLAs and human health. Results from animal studies show CLA ingestion inhibits tumor growth, prevents heart disease, and reduces body fat. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has become one of the most popular supplements used by body builders. Athletes are taking CLA to push glucose into their muscle cells and connective tissues instead of letting it turn into fat. CLA has been shown to reduce protein degradation in both humans and animals, and to protect against degenerative diseases. Further research showed that CLA is a potent antiC agent, an anticatabolic agent, an immune stimulating agent and, through a unique mechanism, a fat-burning agent. 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 specifically promotes the growth of muscles by letting nutrients into active muscle cells. This is why CLA has become such a popular supplement among body builders. CLA has anti-oxidant effects that work differently than vitamins E and C.
Usage:
Those over the age of 40 who take CLA may reduce their risk of heart disease, C, muscle atrophy, free radical activity and obesity. Healthy people normally take four to six 600 mg capsules a day. C patients and those seeking body fat reduction often take six to 12 capsules a day. C patients are advised to take high doses of a soy genistein extract when using CLA because CLA could enhance tyrosine kinase C activity. C cells use tyrosine kinase C for energy metabolism, and genistein (which is found in soy foods and supplements) inhibits tyrosine kinase C.

Precautions:
Anyone taking CLA for the treatment of any disease should only do so under the supervision of a physician.
