How it works :
When you consume fat that your body does not need to use for energy, it is absorbed by fat cells with the help of an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase. CLA blocks this enzyme and diverts unused fat to your muscle cells. The CLA then activates another enzyme which helps your muscle to burn this fat, especially during exercise.
That's why, when used in balance with a healthy diet and regular exercise program, Tonalin® CLA is so effective in helping you lose body fat, and keep it off.
Because it is so effective, Tonalin® CLA can also help eliminate the unhealthy "yo-yoing" pattern of losing and gaining weight. Clinical studies have proven that Tonalin® can prevent fat regain.
TONALIN® CLA
For many years, performance nutrition experts essentially dismissed fats, assuming they didn't play a useful role in exercise. Experts focused instead on the protein-sparing and energy-producing effects of carbohydrates and how protein/amino acids affect nitrogen balance. However, it is now well known that fatty acids are not only essential for proper health, but many have additional benefits for health and fitness. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a specialized fat that has been gaining popularity in the athletic community. Current research studies have shown a positive change in body composition among athletes after supplementing with CLA.1-5
CLA is a slightly altered form (i.e., isomer) of linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, essential to human health. CLA is a naturally occurring fatty acid that cannot be produced by the human body but can be obtained in small amounts through foods such as dairy products (e.g., cheese and whole milk), butter, and beef.6 The typical North American diet does not provide enough CLA to get the related benefits, and the foods that do contain small amounts typically have high amounts of saturated fat. As the research started to show positive benefits from CLA supplementation, a more economical and efficient way to provide CLA was required. Fortunately, scientists are able to convert the linoleic acid of pure safflower oil into CLA. Advanced lipid technology provided precise CLA intake through supplementation without high caloric food consumption and gave rise to Tonalin® CLA. Tonalin® CLA is produced from linoleic acid found in natural safflower oil utilizing a process that gently converts the linoleic acid into CLA.
