CLA Conjugated Linoliec Acid by Olympian Labs

CLA Conjugated Linoliec Acid by Olympian Labs is essential for the transport of dietary fat into cells where it is used to build muscle and produce energy. The primary dietary sources of CLA are beef and milk. Americans are eating less red meat and drinking less whole milk in order to reduce their dietary intake of saturated fat. People often drink non-fat milk, but it is the fat content of the milk that contains CLA. Since skim milk contains virtually no CLA, those seeking to lose weight who switch to skim milk and a reduced-red meat diet are depriving themselves of a potential source of this fat-reducing nutrient. CLA by Olympian Labs helps to supplement this deficiency and aid in weight loss.

How Does It Work?
CLA inhibits fat storage by enhancing the ability of cell membranes (other than fat cells) to open up and allow the absorption of fats and other nutrients. It also promotes the growth of muscles by letting nutrients into active muscle cells. CLA doesn't work by making big fat cells smaller. It prevents small fat cells from getting bigger. CLA may even help to build muscles and reduce body fat, while protecting against arterial disorders and a host of aging-related diseases. CLA pushes glucose (blood sugar) into muscle and connective tissue cells instead of letting it turn into body fat. CLA also reduces protein degradation (catabolic metabolism) that occurs with advancing age. .

CLA is a unique supplement. Not only does it guard against serious diseases and health conditions, but it is also an effective tool for one of the most serious conditions affecting Americans: Obesity. As more and more Americans join the ranks of the overweight, millions more start diets that are usually destined to failure. Why? Because when less calories are consumed, there is usually a significant loss of muscle as well as fat, due to the fact that the body starts to burn, or catabolic, muscle for energy. This can lead to even more serious health consequences (your heart, for example, is a muscle). Not to mention the fact that without lean muscle mass, which burns calories while fat tissue doesn’t, the body’s metabolism plummets with every ounce of muscle digested therefore requiring the dieter to eat less and less to maintain weight loss. Conversely, a higher level of lean muscle tissue means that the body’s metabolism is increase (more calories are burned). Achieving a high metabolism translates into the dieter being able to eat more and still lose fat.
