CLA 1000
CLA – Conjugated Linoleic Acid – or unsaturated fatty 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 CLAs possible benefits to the athlete over
two years ago, and recent studies are backing up our predictions. “”Research
Proven to Build Muscle, Reduce Body Fat, and Induce a Optimum Cellular
Environment For Improved Health!”" 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 CLAs 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.
