CLA 3000 mg Softgels with 80% Conjugated Linoleic Acid
If you delve into sports nutrition, you have probably already come across the abbreviation CLA. CLA stands for Conjugated Linoleic Acid. It is a fatty acid that naturally occurs in small amounts in meat and dairy. But really small amounts. These softgels from LUTO Supplements provide a concentrated form from safflower oil, so you get a fixed amount of it per day without completely overhauling your diet.
What conjugated linoleic acid exactly is
Conjugated linoleic acid is not a single fatty acid, but a collective term for several variants (isomers) of linoleic acid. The difference with regular linoleic acid lies in the position of the double bonds in the molecular chain. In supplements, CLA is usually made by chemically converting safflower oil, a plant-based oil that is naturally rich in linoleic acid. This creates a mixture of CLA isomers. This product contains 80% conjugated linoleic acid.
Why 3 softgels per day
Each softgel contains 1000 mg of CLA material, of which 800 mg is actually conjugated linoleic acid. The recommended daily dose is three softgels (3000 mg CLA, of which 2400 mg is conjugated linoleic acid). Preferably take them spread throughout the day with a meal.
Safflower oil as source and carrier
The safflower oil in this product has a double role. It is both the raw material from which the CLA is made and the oily carrier in which the fatty acid is dissolved. The softgel form is convenient to take. The product is produced in Germany, certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and HACCP, and every batch is tested in a laboratory. Furthermore, it is free from gluten, lactose, and genetically modified organisms.
This CLA supplement from LUTO Supplements is a pretty straightforward product. No complex formula with ten ingredients, but one fatty acid in softgel form. For those who want to use conjugated linoleic acid in a fixed amount alongside varied nutrition, that is exactly enough.
