CLA 1000

Remember, you shouldn't be afraid of adding good fat to your diet. Good fat actually helps you build muscle and lose body fat.

When I'm not adding flax seed oil to my regular food meals, I take a CLA throughout the day to add "good" fat to my healthy, muscle-building diet.

For optimal health, we should supply our bodies with two essential fatty acids. These two essential fatty acids are alpha linolenic acid and linoleic acid.

If you are trying to build muscle, you must have good fat in your diet to pack it on most effectively. Good fat initiates the process of creating all other fatty acids and hormone precursors needed to build lean muscle. Essential fatty acid provides fuel that’s needed to drive your intense workouts and help you live a more productive life. Good fat in your diet helps you reduce body fat and increase you fat metabolism.

Flax seed oil gives me an excellent source of alpha linolenic acid. This is the fatty acid responsible for enhancing insulin sensitivity within muscle cells. Linolenic acid is the compound most people are deficient in as it is rare in foods.

CLA stands for conjugated linoleic acid. CLA is similar in structure to linoleic acid as they both have two unsaturated bonds within their fatty acid chain. However, the unsaturated chemical bonds within the CLA molecule are situated in a different position to the unsaturated bonds within a normal linoleic acid molecule.

This slight difference appears to exert amazing effects on our metabolism. That’s why I hedge my bet, so to speak, and supplement my diet with both flax seed oil and CLA to obtain the best sources of essential fats. My overall health is that important to me.

I have one serving (tablespoon) of flax seed oil with my 11AM meal and another with my 3:30 PM meal.

I take two CLA 1000 softgel capsules twice a day. I take them when I wake up in the morning and with my 9PM meal.

CLA 1000

CLA - Conjugated Linoleic Acid - is not a new discovery as some magazines would have you believe. However, a better understanding of its effects are leading to potential applications that are extremely new and exciting. AST Sports Science was the first company to report on CLA’s possible benefits to the athlete over two years ago, and recent studies are backing up our predictions.

"Research Proven to Build Muscle, Reduce Body Fat, and Induce a Optimum Cellular Environment For Improved Health!"

CLA was discovered by accident in 1978 by Michael W. Pariza at the University of Wisconsin while looking for mutagen formations in meat during cooking. CLA, found naturally in many animal products, consists of positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid. The difference between the two centers around CLA’s conjugated double bonds at carbon atoms 10 and 12 or 9 and 11. The 9 cis, 11 trans isomer is considered the most biologically active form of CLA.

Although all the intricacies of CLA are not fully understood, it is widely accepted in the research community that CLA counterbalances the negative effects of linoleic acid and regulates fat and protein metabolism in animals. Pariza, director of the Food Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin said, “A growing body of data indicates that CLA is a newly recognized nutrient that functions to regulate energy retention and metabolism.” CLA can best be described as a “Growth Factor”.

Food intake efficiency! CLA has been shown in animal studies to increase growth rate through increased feed efficiency. In controlled studies, animals that had their diets supplemented with CLA increased their body protein (muscle tissue) while at the same time, had a significant decrease in body fat. This all occurred in the CLA supplemented animals while their food intake was decreased. Their lean mass increased even though they were eating less! This indicates that CLA increases feed efficiency and also points to a potent nutrient repartitioning effect.

This significant change in body composition can also be attributed in part to CLA’s effect on immune function. When CLA levels fall, interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-a are involved in the accumulation of body fat. CLA has been shown to inhibit the lean tissue wasting caused by high levels of these cytokines.

Actual human studies are on the way with anticipation of similar outcomes. CLA may be the most significant bodybuilding nutrient discovered in this decade. With anti-catabolic effects rivaling even the strongest pharmaceutical compounds, CLA is a naturally occurring nutrient with the ability to help you pack on lean muscle, reduce body fat and at the same time possesses health promoting properties.

CLA occurs naturally in foods such as milk, cheese, beef, and lamb as well as many processed foods. One processed food in particular that’s high in CLA is Cheez Wiz®. But getting enough CLA from your diet for the preferred benefit would require considerable intake of these types of foods. This is not only impractical, but would also have a seriously negative impact on your metabolism due to the high caloric penalty you would pay.

Since this research has surfaced, a more economical and efficient way to get the required CLA has been devised. Through advanced lipid technology, a CLA synthesizing process allows for precision intake through premeasured softgel capsules. This allows for precise CLA intake at determined time intervals without the high calorie food consumption. Not only has CLA been shown to increase muscle mass while reducing body fat, studies have also shown remarkable anti-catabolic, antioxidant, immune enhancement, and anti-cancer benefits. Several other studies have even revealed dramatic cholesterol reducing effects. All this from a structured lipid. A “designer fat” if you would.

To the athlete looking to add more muscle and drop body fat, CLA is a unique discovery that will make accomplishing this feat easier and faster, all the while having positive effects on immune function and antioxidant status, as well as cholesterol lowering effects.

Why Supplementing With CLA Is The Only Way!

On average, foods rich in CLA contain approximately 7 milligrams of CLA per gram of fat. To get the amount of CLA in one softgel capsule of AST Sports Science CLA 750, you would have to consume over 64 grams of fat! To consume the recommended intake of CLA for the desired lean muscle gain and fat loss benefits, you have to take in a whopping 579 grams of fat from foods rich in this unique nutrient. That’s over 5000 calories from fat. This is totally impractical in every sense of the word. With the development of CLA 750, you put science and technology in your arsenal for building muscle. AST Sports Science uses “advanced lipid technology” to harness the muscle building, fat reducing, and health protecting power of CLA in convenient, easy to swallow softgel capsules. Don’t wait another minute. Start building muscle and losing body fat the safe, natural and effective way. Order your supply of AST Sports Science CLA today!
