SCIENCE ALERT - THE SECRET BEHIND CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID

REDUCE BODY FAT

WHILE INCREASING LEAN MUSCLE MASS?
Max CLA from Max Muscle Sports Nutrition (MMSN) contains ultra premium conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
CLA is a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and a unique isomer or special type of omega-6 (linoleic acid)
fatty acid and, as the name implies, the double bonds of the linoleic acid are conjugated. Conjugated linoleic
acid is naturally found in beef, dairy products like milk, eggs, butter, yogurt, and many cheeses. Additionally,
modern processing methods of meats and dairy have reduced the levels of CLA in these foods and due to
low fat diets people eat fewer CLA rich foods. Supplementation is the only effective way to achieve healthy
CLA levels and works best when combined with a sensible diet and regular exercise program.

A number of studies have demonstrated that CLA reduc-

es fat mass, while increasing lean body mass2. A recent
human study investigating the effect of 4.2g CLA/day in
53 normal healthy individuals led to a significant decrease
(3.8%) in body fat compared with individuals not taking
DUAL ISOMER
CLA3. In addition a study in obese and overweight popu- FORMULA!
lations demonstrated that at least 3.4 g CLA/d for a
period of 12 weeks was necessary to see a significant
reduction in body fat1.
