Conjugated Linoleic Acid Is A Winner!

Conjugated linoleic acid (or CLA) is a non-essential fatty acid present in meat, cheese, and dairy products (it's only present in low concentrations, so supplementation is necessary to obtain the benefits CLA offers).

And what are those benefits?

Well, several studies indicate it's a fairly potent fat burner. Recently, researchers from The Netherlands and Norway tested 105 overweight adults with either 3.2 grams of CLA daily or a placebo. Those on CLA had a 5.6% drop in body fat over the course of the study (6 months).

You can read complete details on the study here!

I've written about CLA on UltimateFatBurner.com, and reviewed several popular fat burners that contain significant amounts of CLA. The most recent such product reviewed was Lipitrex (you can read that review here!).

The exciting thing about CLA is that it appears to be the "real deal." Combined with a proper diet and exercise program, supplementation with at least three grams daily may be just the thing needed to break past those weight loss barriers.

Have you used CLA? Tell me about it! Either post here to this blog, or contact me here!
