What Is CLA?

CLA is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in certain animals and animal food products, like ground beef and other meats, cheese and dairy—types of food often excluded in diet plans. Because the human body can’t produce CLA, we can only get it through our diet or supplements in order to reap the benefits.

CLA has a long history of research behind it with over 100 studies in humans. While there’s a variety of products out there, Clarinol® and Tonalin are known to be two of the highest quality available. Clarinol has been specifically studied in overweight adults, showing improvement in body composition and lean muscle mass. Made from natural safflower oil, Clarinol® and Tonalin have a very consistent fatty acid profile because of the strict set of quality and safety standards used to produce them.

The Benefits Of CLA

Supplementing your diet and exercise program with at least 3,400mg of CLA isomers from Clarinol daily has been clinically proven to improve body composition. It has been scientifically shown to improve lean muscle tone, enhance diet and support metabolism.

Which CLA Is Right For You?

Tailoring your supplements to your personal lifestyle and specific needs enables them to work better for you. Worried about being able to fall asleep? Unless you are taking a thermo-CLA product, your CLA supplement shouldn’t keep you up at night. Stimulant-free, nighttime formula CLA PM supports relaxation, metabolism and restorative slumber, while still offering the usual CLA benefits.

Supplementing your weight loss efforts with a clinically proven CLA supplement is most effective when paired with a dedicated exercise routine and a balanced diet plan.
