Product Overview

We first brought to light the incredible powers of conjugated linoleic acid, usually referred to as CLA, in Jean Carper's article "5 Natural Fat Fighters that Work." In this article Jean discussed how CLA could "melt body fat and build muscle without calorie counting or exercise." Decades of clinical research indicate that CLA actually changes body composition by reducing body fat and increasing or preserving lean muscle mass, giving you a leaner, healthier appearance. Combined with a balanced diet and exercise, CLA can help you lose body fat, and keep it off. You may drop a clothes size or two without yo-yoing between weight loss and gain.

In one clinical research study, a group of overweight men and women were divided into three groups. Two groups received two different forms of CLA and one group received olive oil as a placebo. They were told not to change their diet or activity levels. One year later, those taking CLA had decreased their body fat by 9% and increased muscle mass by 2%. The placebo group showed little or no change in either fat or muscle. CLA’s potential as a weight-loss aid may be primarily in its effect on body composition. Those who took CLA over a period of two years did not gain their weight back, a common problem for dieters and probably due to lost muscle mass. Other studies have shown that CLA may help people deal with the irritations and uneasy feelings that occur when calories are restricted — sometimes called the “diet blues.”

Michael Pariza, Ph.D., of the Food Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin, is considered to be the leading expert on CLA in the United States. Dr. Pariza says CLA is safe. A small number of people report side effects when taking CLA, including occasional stomach upset, but these often diminish with continued use.

The Tonalin® CLA Difference

Our formula contains 100% Tonalin® CLA, the #1 leading brand of CLA worldwide. Tonalin is a patented form of CLA derived from natural safflower oil, and it is the most extensively researched and clinically proven effective form of CLA in the world.

In one recent study, volunteers received Tonalin CLA or a placebo for three months, and asked not to make any changes in their diet and lifestyle. The Tonalin group had a significant reduction in body fat percent from 21.3% to 17.0%, and also had a reduction in body weight.

CLA (Tonalin®)

Tonalin Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a patented form of a fatty acid found primarily in the tissue of grazing animals and in some dairy products. The amount of CLA found in meat and dairy products was much higher half a century ago, when livestock were primarily grass fed. Today most livestock is fattened with corn and other types of feed. CLA has been shown to increase lean muscle mass while decreasing body fat without any change in diet or exercise. Tonalin is a specific variation of CLA that has been used successfully in several weight loss studies.

CLA interferes with a substance called lipoprotein lipase, which normally helps store fat in your body. It also helps to release existing stored fat for use as energy. And it helps to increase lean muscle tissue—which helps you burn more calories. (Muscle tissue is more metabolically active than fat tissue.) Those are just the weight-loss related activities of CLA. Hundreds of studies have been done on CLA since its discovery in 1978. Studies have shown CLA to block the progression of certain cancers, like breast cancer and melanoma. It has also been shown to inhibit arteriosclerosis and enhance immune function, lower cholesterol and lower tryglycerides. So supplementing your diet with CLA appears to be a good thing on many levels.

Over the past 25 years, more than 600 CLA studies have been published illustrating the many ways CLA may enhance your health.

Studies show, CLA safely decreases body fat in four ways:

• Decreasing the amount of fat stored after eating
• Increasing how fast fat is broken down in fat cells
• Increasing the rate of fat metabolism
• Decreasing the total number of fat cells in our bodies

Some of the most exciting and thorough weight-loss research in humans has been conducted by Scandinavian researcher, Jean-Michael Gaullier, MD.

Scandinavian Clinical Research, Oslo: 180 overweight but healthy men and women, ages 18-65, with body mass indexes of 25-30 (over 30 is considered obese) were divided into three groups. Two groups received two different forms of CLA and one group received olive oil as a placebo. They were told not to change their diet or activity levels. One year later, 157 were still participating. Those taking CLA had decreased body fat by 9% and increased muscle mass by 2%. The placebo group showed little or no change in either fat or muscle. Maximum fat loss took place in the first 3 to 6 months. Those with the highest body mass index, and women, were the most likely to benefit. (Am J Clin Nutr. 2004 Jun; 79(6):1118-25.)

Researcher Jean-Michael Gaullier, M.D worked with 134 of the same people for a second year to determine the safety of taking CLA. There were almost no side effects. Seven people suffered some digestive upset.

Dr. Gaullier’s most recent study, published in the British Journal of Nutrition in March of 2007, also found reductions in fat, primarily in women and primarily in the legs, after six months of supplementation. Lean body mass also increased and hip-to-waist ratio decreased. The dosage used in the study was 3.4 grams per day.

CLA’s potential as a weight-loss aid may be primarily in its effect on body composition. Those who took CLA over a period of two years did not gain their weight back, a common problem for dieters and probably due to lost muscle mass. Other studies have shown that CLA may help people deal with the irritations and uneasy feelings that occur when calories are restricted—sometimes called the “diet blues.”

Nicholas Perricone, MD, author of several books related to aging and weight loss, including the Perricone Weight Loss Diet, thinks CLA is also very important because of its anti-inflammatory properties. According to Dr. Perricone, inflammation is an integral part of the obesity epidemic and needs to be controlled in order for people to shed fat and keep it off. His diet recommends several anti-inflammatory foods, including avocado, salmon, fruits, and vegetables, along with daily CLA.

There is a wide array of research being conducted on CLA. Michael Pariza, Ph.D., of the Food Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin, is considered to be the leading expert on CLA in the United States. Dr. Pariza’s review of CLA literature was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in June, 2004. There is some research associating CLA with inflammation and insulin resistance, Dr. Pariza contends that there is ample evidence and reason to dismiss those results and says CLA is safe. There are several studies showing CLA reduces inflammation. (Am J Clin Nutr. Vol 79, No. 6, 1132S, June 2004.)
