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. Order your supply of AST Sports
