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. Order your supply of AST
