You may have read the recent articles in the media on CLA. The headlines read:
CLA is a patented product which has been shown to work in a variety of ways. A recent article in GP Magazine (September 2000) reviewed some of the benefits of CLA. Clinical trials on CLA have shown that it can inhibit carcinogenesis, reduce bodyfat, increase lean muscle size and boost the immune system.
US Study
Director of The Food Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin, recently presented the results of a 6 month study of 80 overweight participants. The study showed that those who did not take CLA put on 75% fat (25% muscle) after they stopped the study. Those who took CLA gained considerably less fat.
Dr Pariza of the study said, "This is very significant. It leads to the idea that CLA could be useful in weight management."
Norwegian Study
Norwegian researchers were able to show a change in "body composition" of overweight/obese subjects who took CLA. The results showed a significantly higher reduction in body fat mass in CLA groups than with controls.
The British Nutrition Foundation commented: "The Norwegian Study appears to have been well-designed and could be important in terms of the cardiovascular disease risk in obese adults, particularly if fat was replaced by lean tissue." [Editor's note: What the BNF mean is a change in overall body composition. This does not mean changing fat to muscle (literally) as that cannot happen. What will happen is that a person will gain more muscle and lose more fat. This in turn means fat is changed to muscle.]
Over the last few years there have been many studies on CLA and its beneficial effects. CLA is widely considered to be an anti-oxidant, anti-catabolic and anti-cortisol supplement. As with many patented products, you will always get copies and inferior versions. Many of you may have tried CLA and found it to be of absolutely no use. Why is that? Very simple, you did not try "real" CLA. Few companies can sell you CLA.
LA Muscle developed Sculpt to ensure you get a product with the highest and purest concentration of CLA. Sculpt contains the original patented CLA and is used by tens of thousands of you for effective fat loss, as well as muscle gain.
So if you have been reading about CLA and would like to try it in its most effective format, then give Sculpt a try.
