CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)

Weight loss can be a lot more effective when you are burning fat and building lean muscle at the same time with Manna CLA. A number of studies have demonstrated that CLA reduces fat mass while increasing lean body mass. Different types of fats have different purposes.

What is CLA (Conjugated linoleic acid)?
CLA is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in meat and dairy products, more specifically it is found in the meat from ruminant animals (e.g. animals such as cows and lamb that absorb nutrients in a specialised stomach by fermenting plant-based food, such as grass).
CLA is a family of 28 different isomers of linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is the shortest chain omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (meaning they have more than one double bond in their backbone).
An isomer is a group of molecules with the same chemical formula (same number and type of atoms) but arranged into a different structure. In essence, it is a group of different variations of linoleic acid.

Manna CLA 3 Month Special

Manna CLA 3 Month Special Manna CLA 3 Month Special contains: 3 x Manna CLA 90 softgel capsules Benefits of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): May help treat Cancer, Asthma, Cardiovascular disease, High blood pressure, High cholesterol and triglycerides and Osteoporosis Could help reduce body fat May assist in weight loss May improve immune function Why CLA is beneficial for healthy weight loss and the fighting of disease There are different types of fat found in our daily diet, while others are manufactured in the body. Conjugated Linoleic Acid or CLA is a unique type of fatty acid that is primarily found in beef and dairy products. It is not manufactured in the body, and must therefore be obtained from a healthy diet. While many fats are simply used to produce energy, CLA also provides several powerful health benefits to the body. Numerous studies have shown that it can help with effective and healthy weight loss. This has made it one of the most popular weight loss supplements in the world. Aside from weight loss, CLA also has many other health benefits. As it works mainly by reducing the deposition of fat in the body, it also helps to boost the immune system at the same time. Different studies conducted on humans, animals and laboratories have shown it to be highly effective at combating the following health conditions: Cardiovascular disease Immune system invaders Inflammation High blood pressure High cholesterol and triglycerides Osteoporosis Other illnesses in which CLA is beneficial include: Cancer Research conducted on animals has shown that tumours could be reduced by as much as 50% by CLA. This is achieved by taking 0.5% of it in the diet. These types of cancers include: Lung cancer Breast cancer Colorectal cancer Stomach cancer Skin cancer Asthma Leukotrienes, a type of fatty acid of the immune system, are produced at much higher levels in a person suffering from asthma. These molecules are over 1000 times more powerful at causing bronchial constriction than histamine.They are produced when the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-lipox) acts on Arachidonic acid (AA), a fatty acid found in the body. CLA combats asthma by converting it into the potent anti-inflammatory compounds DHA and EPA. This helps fight inflammation caused by 5-Lipox and AA, without damaging your arteries. Insulin resistance Tests conducted on mice with type 2 diabetes have shown that CLA mimics the action of synthetic diabetic drugs.It increases the effect of insulin while reducing blood sugar levels. The same beneficial effects have been observed in humans after 8 weeks of CLA use. Body fat composition Research studies on humans taking CLA have shown great results in the lowering of body fat composition. The results are even better when it's use is combined with regular physical exercise. Studies in animals have also indicated that CLA reduces body fat and increases lean body mass as well. According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people taking 3.2 grams of CLA daily lost 500g of body fat per month. This was in contrast to those taking a placebo. Other studies show that it lowers body fat and preserves muscle, and might also increase your metabolic rate. Actions of CLA Dosage 3 grams of CLA should be taken every day. This is preferably by taking either 1 soft gel three times daily with every meal, or 3 soft gel with breakfast every morning. This dosage is recommended for both adults and children, especially those fighting obesity. CLA is considered safe for use with your medication. A healthy diet such as the Manna Diet and regular exercise is highly recommended for effective and healthy weight loss.
