CLA: "Wow, I Need That!"
Summary:
CLA, a champion among weight loss supplements, offers benefits beyond shedding those stubborn last ten pounds.Introduction to CLA
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) might just be the miracle pill for weight loss enthusiasts. In a study, a group of overweight women lost 9% body fat over a year without altering their lifestyle or eating habits.
What is CLA?
CLA is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in meat and dairy. It’s a popular supplement for those aiming to lose fat, maintain weight loss, lower blood pressure, boost their immune system, retain lean muscle, and manage type 2 diabetes, often linked to obesity.
For optimal weight-loss results, products containing 80% CLA are recommended. CLA has also been shown to prevent heart disease and certain types of cancer, while boosting the immune system.
The Study
A study with 180 overweight participants (149 women, 31 men) between a BMI of 25 and 30?"a range linked to increased risks of heart disease and diabetes?"explored CLA's effects. Participants were divided into three groups: one took 4.5 grams of 80% CLA pills daily, another took 3.6 grams of 76% CLA syrup in capsules, and the third group took a placebo of olive oil.
While participants didn't have to change their diet or exercise routines, they did receive dietary and exercise advice upon request. Calorie intake decreased slightly across all groups, possibly due to the supplements and a reduced appetite. Participants also kept food diaries, which helped them manage portion sizes.
Results
Over one year, the findings were notable:
- Both CLA groups lost about 4 pounds; the placebo group didn't lose weight.
- The CLA syrup group saw a 9% body fat reduction; the pill group saw a 7% reduction; no fat loss occurred in the placebo group.
- Both CLA groups improved muscle mass.
Risk Factors
- The CLA pill group had slightly higher LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
- The CLA syrup group had slightly lower HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
- Both CLA groups experienced higher levels of lipoproteins (a marker of inflammation and heart disease) and leptin (a hormone linked to heart disease).
- White blood cell counts increased, potentially indicating enhanced immune response but also risking artery inflammation.
- Blood sugar levels showed modest changes in both CLA groups.
Conclusion
This study supports and expands on previous research, suggesting the greatest effects on those with higher BMI, particularly women. While some heart disease risk factors changed, they remained within normal physiological ranges. The increase in white blood cells might indicate an enhanced immune response, as other studies have shown CLA can prevent viral infections.
Though the exact mechanisms by which CLA reduces body fat and increases muscle mass remain unclear, it may involve triggering fat cell death, shrinking fat cells, or accelerating metabolism.
CLA presents a promising option for those seeking weight loss and health benefits, though continued research is essential to fully understand its impact.
