CLA is a unique supplement with many benefits. It guards against serious diseases and health conditions, but it is also an essential tool for controlling obesity. Typically a large loss of muscle as well as fat are lost when less calories are consumed, due to the fact that the body starts to burn, or catabolic, muscle for energy. Losing to much muscle can lead to another set of problems, for example your heart is a muscle. Not to mention the fact that without lean muscle mass, which burns calories while fat tissue doesn't, the body's metabolism plummets with every ounce of muscle digested therefore requiring the dieter to eat less and less to maintain weight loss. A higher level of lean muscle tissue means that the body's metabolism is increase (more calories are burned). Achieving a high metabolism translates into the dieter being able to eat more and still lose fat. CLA, created by Olympian Labs, is made from wholesome safflower and sunflower oil, each containing 1000mg. Also there is mixed tocopherol concentrate with essential Vitamin E for muscle development and antioxidants. Supplement Facts
