CLA has many health benefits and in this article, I will be talking about it, as well as, of course, the thing that it is probably most known for, which is weight loss. CLA is believed by many to help burn fat, reduce body Maxx however, is this true?
Many supplements in the online market have CLA as an ingredient in their formula and as you're all used to, manufacturers always claim that their supplements work but you know what? Not only do most of these supplements have no clinical evidence but if you've used weight loss supplements before, bought online, you know that many of them are useless and many of them do not work as they're advertised to.
One of the main reasons why many supplements do not work is because of low potency formulas that they share because they use low doses.
Some ingredients have very poor bioavailability and are absorbed by the body very slowly so they aren't very effective. Manufacturers will not tell you these things. One of the things that CLA is known for is actually for its antioxidant properties as well as anti-inflammatory properties. It contains vitamins, such as Vitamin E or vitamin K, and can help the immune system but the dose is very important, as for any ingredient really.
Also, CLA comes in various forms, what you want though or what you should be looking for is c9t11 (cis-9, trans-11) and the other t10c12 (trans-10, cis-12). These two are the most potent and healthy and the differences are in the chemicals in them, the chemical chain. CLA is found in meat as well as dairies however plants are also used, most notably safflower CLA.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid is actually not very potent or reliable. If you plan on using it, you need a high dose to get a benefit from it, which is why you should consult your medic, especially if you are allergic or if you have a sickness, if you are pregnant, etc.
As popular as CLA is, its popularity is mostly based on rumors, it doesn't have much proof that shows that it is reliable. Even at higher doses, CLA isn't very strong so if you are counting on it to burn your fat away, you're wasting your time. However, it could offer some benefits to those working out and dieting. Again, though, it is not reliable and individual results do vary.
There are so many herbal extracts and chemicals that are used by dietary weight loss supplements to help you lose weight. These supplements or should I say the companies behind them, the manufacturers, will always claim that their products work and that the ingredients in them work.
I will tell you right now, don't trust what a company claims, trust the proof that it offers if it has any. With that said, most supplements don't have any clinical proof to offer because they are not clinically tested or proven for purity, safety, efficacy and so on, nor approved or even evaluated by the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) most of the time.
If you are wondering how come such supplements, without any proof of working or of being safe, are marketed and sold online, well it's simply doable because the FDA doesn't make manufacturers provide clinical evidence for their dietary, oral supplements in order to be able to advertise and sell them over the internet.
It's basically the rules of the FDA, you have to do your own research and you really should because many and I mean most supplements have very low doses, very weak formulas, low potency, ingredients with little to no evidence or very inconclusive and unreliable, etc.
If you don't do your research you may very well end up getting scammed, disappointed, with less money in your pocket and a useless product on your hands. Some rely on the promise of a refund, however, is there a guarantee for that refund? Usually, there isn't so don't be too sure that the manufacturer will give you your money back, all of them.
CLA safflower oil is one of the ingredients, the most popular actually, in many weight loss products. If you ask someone about CLA safflower oil, it is likely that the first thing to come to mind is related to weight loss.
However, the reality is that CLA is very unreliable, the result of studies are inconclusive, the effects of CLA in humans for fat burning are actually not very potent.
Yet, you won't really find a supplement that uses CLA as an ingredient, and that will tell you what I just told you above. Why? Because then they wouldn't make much money. People don't do much research unfortunately and companies know this, and they won't do the research for you or show you any.
