CLA 1000
Research
Proven to Build Muscle, Reduce Body Fat, and Induce a Optimum Cellular
Environment For Improved Health!
CLA - Conjugated Linoleic Acid - is not a new discovery as some magazines
would have you believe. However, a better understanding of its effects
are leading to potential applications that are extremely new and exciting.
AST Sports Science was the first company to report on CLA’s possible
benefits to the athlete over two years ago, and recent studies are backing
up our predictions.
CLA was discovered by accident in 1978 by Michael W. Pariza at the University
of Wisconsin while looking for mutagen formations in meat during cooking.
CLA, found naturally in many animal products, consists of positional
and geometric isomers of linoleic acid. The difference between the two
centers around CLA’s conjugated double bonds at carbon atoms 10
and 12 or 9 and 11. The 9 cis, 11 trans isomer is considered the most
biologically active form of CLA.
Although all the intricacies of CLA are not fully understood, it is widely accepted
in the research community that CLA counterbalances the negative effects
of linoleic acid and regulates fat and protein metabolism in animals.
Pariza, director of the Food Research Institute at the University of
Wisconsin said, “A growing body of data indicates that
CLA is a newly recognized nutrient that functions to regulate energy
retention and metabolism.” CLA can best be described
as a “Growth Factor”.
Food intake efficiency! CLA has been shown in animal studies to increase growth
rate through increased feed efficiency. In controlled studies,
animals that had their diets supplemented with CLA increased their body
protein (muscle tissue) while at the same time, had a significant decrease
in body fat. This all occurred in the CLA supplemented
animals while their food intake was decreased. Their lean mass increased
even though they were eating less! This indicates that CLA increases
feed efficiency and also points to a potent nutrient repartitioning
effect.
This significant change in body composition can also be attributed in part to CLA’s
effect on immune function. When CLA levels fall, interleukin-1 and tumor
necrosis factor-a are involved in the accumulation of body fat. CLA
has been shown to inhibit the lean tissue wasting caused by high levels
of these cytokines.
Actual human studies are on the way with anticipation of similar outcomes.
CLA may be the most significant bodybuilding nutrient
discovered in this decade. With anti-catabolic effects
rivaling even the strongest pharmaceutical compounds, CLA is a naturally
occurring nutrient with the ability to help you pack on lean muscle,
reduce body fat and at the same time possesses health promoting properties.
CLA occurs naturally in foods such as milk, cheese, beef, and lamb as well as many
processed foods. One processed food in particular that’s high in
CLA is Cheez Whiz®. But getting enough CLA from your diet for the preferred
benefit would require considerable intake of these types of foods. This
is not only impractical, but would also have a seriously negative impact
on your metabolism due to the high caloric penalty you would pay.
Since this research has surfaced, a more economical and efficient way to get the
required CLA has been devised. Through advanced lipid technology, a
CLA synthesizing process allows for precision intake through premeasured
softgel capsules. This allows for precise CLA intake at determined time
intervals without the high calorie food consumption. Not
only has CLA been shown to increase muscle mass while reducing body
fat, studies have also shown remarkable anti-catabolic, antioxidant,
immune enhancement, and anti-cancer benefits. Several
other studies have even revealed dramatic cholesterol reducing effects.
All this from a structured lipid. A “designer fat” if you
would.
To the athlete looking to add more muscle and drop body fat, CLA is a unique
discovery that will make accomplishing this feat easier and faster,
all the while having positive effects on immune function and antioxidant
status, as well as cholesterol lowering effects.
Why Supplementing With CLA Is The Only Way!

On average, foods rich in CLA contain approximately 7 milligrams
of CLA per gram of fat. To get the amount of CLA in one softgel
capsule of AST Sports Science CLA 1000, you would have to consume
over 64 grams of fat! To consume the recommended intake of
CLA for the desired lean muscle gain and fat loss benefits,
you have to take in a whopping 579 grams of fat from foods
rich in this unique nutrient. That’s over 5000 calories
from fat. This is totally impractical in every sense of the
word. With the development of CLA 1000, you put science and
technology in your arsenal for building muscle. AST Sports
Science uses “advanced lipid technology” to harness
the muscle building, fat reducing, and health protecting power
of CLA in convenient, easy to swallow softgel capsules. Don’t
wait another minute. Start building muscle and losing body
fat the safe, natural and effective way. Order your supply
