CLA+: Conjugated linoleic acids (English: CLA / French: ALC) are a family of fatty acids that are isomers of linoleic acid.

According to several animal studies, supplementing with these acids may help reduce body fat while increasing bone mass and reducing cardiovascular disease. Human studies have not produced the same results.

Neither linoleic acid nor alpha-linolenic acid (2 double bonds) can be synthesized by humans, and since alpha-linolenic acid is the precursor of fatty acids 13 and 16, they can be considered essential nutrients. Studies conducted on humans and animals have yielded different results.

This could be mainly due to the different types of CLA used in the experimental process: as they are different substances, some isomers of linoleic acid are significantly less effective than others, and in some cases, they have shown different effects in animals (hyperinsulinemia, inhibition of leptin). Human test results have not matched those from animal tests.

Some studies suggest they could be useful when combined with other supplements (such as creatine, protein, or arginine. According to recent research, they appear to reduce belly fat when combined with CLA and 13. In our case, it should be remembered that it will only be effective if taken during a period of physical training, whereas it will have no effect during an inactive period. The most significant results were obtained by people who engaged in physical activity during the test, while the control group, which did not exercise, did not achieve the same level of product effectiveness. We tend to believe that this product can induce weight loss due to a slight increase in basal metabolic rate, which would also be responsible for a consequent increase in lean mass.

In cases of prolonged use, these substances have been shown to affect LDL and HDL levels, although not significantly. No effects have been observed with short-term treatments.
