What is Conjugated Linoleic Acid?
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring fatty acid. It is part of the linoleic group of acids which are also known as essential omega 6 fatty acids.
BulkPowders.co.uk offers you the strongest and purest CLA supplement available today, with a guaranteed minimum of 80% CLA isomers. This means that with our 1000mg softgels, you are getting a massive 800mg of high quality CLA.
Where to find Conjugated Linoleic Acid:
Within the foods that the majority of us consume, CLA is primarily found in meat and dairy products. The animals that the meat and dairy products are obtained from feed on products high in linoleic acids, such as sunflowers and seeds.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid can also be referred to as:
CLA, Conjugated Linoleic Acid CLA, CLA 1000, CLA 1000mg, Linoleic, Linoleic Acid, Conjugated Linoleic, CLA Softgels.
Why use Conjugated Linoleic Acid?
Promote Weight Loss — CLA is found in many fat loss formulas, simply because it is proven to help the user reduce their body fat. The body has millions of fat cells, all of which want to increase in size. By supplementing with CLA the body effectively diverts calories that are usually stored in these fat cells, towards the muscle cells. In one scientific study, 60 overweight people supplemented with CLA, whilst a placebo group took nothing. Those who supplemented with CLA lost weight, and those who didn’t actually gained weight. There are further studies with the same outcome, highlighting that CLA is a proven fat loss supplement.
Increase Muscle Mass — In the same scientific study where users of CLA lost weight, it was also evident that the same group of subjects actually gained muscle mass. Other research has also shown that supplementing with CLA yielded a nine-fold greater increase in arm size, over those who took a placebo.
Increase Strength — A university study carried out in Memphis has shown that using CLA resulted in 223% greater strength gains after just 28 days of training.
Why use Conjugated Linoleic Acid?
CLA has a range of health benefits, with the main one being its ability to reduce body fat and prevent weight gain. Weight gain can ultimately lead to obesity, which in turn places increased stress on internal organs. There is speculation in fact that low levels of CLA in our diets may be just one of the factors behind the increasing levels of obesity in western society.
CLA has also been shown to improve immune system function, reduce atherosclerosis, and even combat some forms of cancer and diabetes.

Serving Size & Timing
We recommend taking 2 CLA softgels 1-3 times per day with food for optimal benefits. Because our CLA is the highest potency available you can however expect to see some positive results by supplementing with as little as 2-3 of our CLA softgels per day.
Synergists
CLA has been proven to work well with both caffeine and green tea extract, both of which are also available at BulkPowders.co.uk. Combining CLA with either (or both) of these supplements should therefore further enhance the already excellent benefits of supplementing with Conjugated Linoleic Acid.
Safety
CLA is a naturally occurring fatty acid, and to this extent is perfectly safe to use.
Toxicity
There is no known toxicity of CLA.
Bans/Restrictions for Use
As far as we are aware there are no known bans or restrictions in regard to supplementing with CLA.

| "I had also read extensively about the virtues of CLA so I thought to include it in my eating regime. I started with 3 a day and after about a month I was impressed with the amount of fat loss, particularly abdominal fat. I'v always had a problem with abdominal fat hiding my six pack. It would show for a while when I'm training hard, but would soon disappear when I put on even the most minimal of weight. Thanks to CLA I have better allround muscle tone that's more defined and visible. My deltoids, biceps, triceps and glutes seem to have taken on new life. I would recommend this product to anyone serious about definition, but you've got to reduce your overall calorie intake to around 2000 a day and fat to far less than the recommended 90g/day and improve the quality of your protein intake. I combine 90% instant whey with 4 boiled egg whites every other day. Then you will see the benefits of CLA shine trhough." |

| Great product! |
"I had read a lot of research on CLA, some promoting health benefits however I read the ones that came with possible warnings. In the end I thought i'd give it a go for a short blast and bought the 100softgels. I took 3-4 a day with meals and combined it with 80% whey protein over a month.
Now I have never been able to see my abs, EVER! I have trained 6days a week on cardio to try and exposed the briefest hint of abs, but with no luck, I couldn't shift the ab fat and despite having low body fat percentage over the rest of my body, I carried all my fat around my waist and abs.
Since I started I have dropped 2 belt holes and have actually seen my abs (4 out of 6 isn't bad)! I have had comments from lots of people about how much my physique has changed. I am not there yet but its been great to get me started on unearthing my abs.
This isn't however a product that you can eat whatever you want, it must be combined with healthy diet and regular exercise but I didn't train any differently to before and am sure it won't mean changing much for you guys.
All in all I was pleasantly suprised by how effective this product was and would recommend it to anyone who was in my situation!" |
