CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is a naturally occurring trans isomer of linoleic acid, which may support fat reduction and lean body mass.1 It is unique in structure because of the location of the double bonds in the linoleic acid molecule. Recent research shows that the specific isomers c9, t11 and t10, c12 play key roles in many of CLA’s physiological properties.2 Tonalin® CLA contains the main isomers c9, t11 and t10, c12 in a 39:39 ratio. In a preliminary human study involving 60 overweight subjects, conjugated linoleic acid supported healthy body fat mass.3 Several animal studies explore possible mechanisms of CLA, including the ability to moderate fat deposition, promote lipolysis in adipocytes, moderate energy intake, maintain healthy energy expenditure and support metabolic rate.4 If you are pregnant or lactating, have any health condition or are taking any medication, consult your health professional before use.
