CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)

CLA is an interesting compound that has been shown in many recent studies to have profound fat loss effects in humans. This advanced form of an essential fatty acid can actually reduce body fat while dieting. Researchers have proposed several ways on how CLA works. One, it interferes with a substance in your body called lipoprotein lipase that helps store fat in your body and CLA also helps your body use its existing fat for energy. So you prevent fat storage while burning the fat you have. Effective doses range from 1.8 - 6 grams daily.
