Some evidence suggests that supplementing with CLA may help:reduce body fat Improve insulin sensitivity Enhance blood lipid profiles Decrease blood sugar levels Stimulate bone mineralization Modulate the immune system Increase lean body mass Furthermore, CLA expresses Cardioprotective, anticancer and Anti-Thrombogenic properties.

Through the interaction with PPAR-Gamma, CLA may assist in the reduction of body fat by decreasing Lipogenesis and increasing Lipolysis, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce the progression of some Cardiova
