Conjugated linoleic acid is an isomer of linoleic acid, and Conjugated linoleic acid is referred to as CLA.
Conjugated linoleic acid is a substance that naturally exists in various organisms including the human body. It is generally believed that linoleic acid is converted into conjugated linoleic acid by isomerase in the rumen of ruminants, and the human body itself. It cannot be synthesized and must be ingested from ruminants such as cattle and samples with high CLA content or from CLA nutritional supplements.
CLA is mainly involved in fat decomposition and metabolism, and does not have a direct effect on fat reduction, but CLA can help reduce body fat, especially abdominal fat, but the body weight remains unchanged. CLA mainly inhibits fat synthesis in adipose tissue and strengthens lipolysis, thereby increasing the content of lean body mass and achieving real "fat" rather than weight loss.
The main functions of conjugated linoleic acid include: scavenging free radicals and enhancing the body's antioxidant capacity and immunity. It has the functions of promoting growth and development, regulating blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, preventing atherosclerosis, promoting fat oxidation and decomposition, promoting human protein synthesis, and comprehensively regulating the human body. Improve the ability of sports training. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) significantly increases the content of myocardial myoglobin and skeletal muscle myoglobin in the human body, and improves the ability of human cells to store and transport oxygen, thereby enhancing the ability of sports training.
