PhD Nutrition Cla

CLA stands for conjugated linoleic acid and is an ideal ingredient for anyone looking to maintain lean body fat or lose body fat. CLA is derived from safflower oil and is an essential fatty acid that the body cannot produce. It is found in milk, cheese, and beef, but only in very small amounts.

CLA is suitable for both men and women who want to maintain a low body fat percentage or burn body fat. Whether you are trying to build lean muscle and keep body fat at bay, or you are going through a fat reduction phase to lose weight, CLA is a supplement you need in your arsenal. Unfortunately, CLA is not suitable for vegetarians.

Studies suggest that CLA may aid in weight loss by increasing our body's BMR (basal metabolic rate). This is the rate at which our body burns calories. An increase in BMR means that more calories are burned for the body to function.
