Hey Guys
CLA any good fill me in thanx

I liked it. It justs takes a long time to see results, at least 30 days, and you have to take large doses. Around 3g's a day.

What kind of results did you see?

The thing is, if your diet is not spot on, you won't see much results with anything. But I think with my diet in order it helped out a good deal in the aspect of overall fat reduction.

nice ! thanx

I've heard higher acctually means better. Fonz and others recomend 30g's(which prob works) but I notice it at 7g's/day. I would do ten if it was cost effective enough for me. This study on top uses around 7 also.



Conjugated linoleic acid reduces body fat in healthy exercising humans.

This study was designed to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of daily conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in healthy exercising humans. This was a random-double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 20 healthy humans of normal body weight and body mass index less than 25.0 kg/m2, who did standardized physical exercise in a gym for 90 min three times weekly. Participants took either placebo (hydrogel) or CLA 0.6 g [corrected], three times daily, as two capsules during meals, for 12 weeks. Body fat, measured using near infrared light, was significantly reduced in the CLA group during the study, but not in the placebo group. No effects on body weight were observed. Tolerability was good and similar in the two groups. Compliance, as judged by the number of returned capsules, was more than 80% of the recommended dose for all participants. Thus CLA reduces body fat but not body weight in healthy exercising humans of normal body weight.

Conjugated linoleic acid induces lipid peroxidation in men with abdominal obesity.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown in experimental studies to have chemoprotective properties, and may decrease the deposition of body fat. CLA is prone to oxidation, and it has been suggested that increased lipid oxidation may contribute to the anti-tumorigenic effects of this agent. The present study investigates the urinary levels of 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2alpha) (8-iso-PGF(2alpha)), a major isoprostane, and of 15-oxo-dihydro-PGF(2alpha), a major metabolite of PGF(2alpha), as indicators of non-enzymic and enzymic arachidonic acid oxidation respectively after dietary supplementation with CLA in middle-aged men (mean age 53 years) with abdominal obesity for 1 month in a randomized controlled trial. Significant increases in the levels of both 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) and 15-oxo-dihydro-PGF(2alpha) in urine (P<0. 0001 and P=0.0013 respectively) were observed after 1 month of daily CLA intake (4.2 g/day) as compared with the control group. The lipid peroxidation parameters had returned to their basal levels at 2 weeks after the cessation of CLA intake, and remained at the same levels for a further 2 weeks until the end of the study. CLA had no effect on serum alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol levels, or on the urinary levels of 2,3-dinor-thromboxane B(2). Thus CLA may induce both non-enzymic and enzymic lipid peroxidation in vivo in middle-aged men with abdominal obesity, without any side effects. The consequences of the increased lipid peroxidation after CLA supplementation are unknown.

I do well on CLA at 9-12 g per day split into 3 equal doses. I use VPXs Thinfat and it works quite well in place of an equal amount of carbs. No loss of energy and a better body composition.
