Twinlab: CLA Fuel

CLA has been suggested in studies to increase growth rate through increased food efficiency.* In controlled studies, those that had their diets supplemented with CLA increased their body protein (muscle tissue) while at the same time, had a significant decrease in body fat.* This all occurred in the CLA supplemented while their food intake was decreased. Their lean mass increased even though they were eating less!* This indicates that CLA promotes feed efficiency and also points to a potent nutrient repartitioning effect.* CLA has been surmised to inhibit the lean tissue breakdown caused by high levels of these cytokines.*
