Although CLA has been on the sports nutrition market for quite a while now, it has never really taken off as well as research indicated it would, and there's a very good reason for this.
The term CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) is a collective one, referring to a mixture of isomers of linoleic acid. However, the studies identifying the anticatabolic properties of CLA and its ability to reduce bodyfat while enhancing lean body mass gains refer to a specific blend of only two isomers. The cis-9, trans11 and the trans10, cis-12 isomers are the only ones found to have any activity, the patent on CLA is for its weight management properties applies to a special 50:50 blend of these two isomers and no other. Due to the cost and protection offered by the patent, many companies have simply forged ahead by using cheap impure material, high in inactive isomers, yet they are claiming all the benefits referred to in the studies.
Pro-CLA contains only the original patent-protected material and is provided as clear capsules, so that you may see that it is pure and devoid of the sediment normally found in other CLA products (most CLA is sold in brown capsules for this reason).
It has over 80% total CLA content, -the highest on the market by far, so that you may realise the scientifically proven benefits of using the correct material.
