CLA70 capsules

The conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) belong to the group of doubly unsaturated fatty acids and are very popular among athletes, especially in the context of a protein-based diet.

What can I expect from CLA?

Replacing saturated fatty acids with polyunsaturated fatty acids (CLA) helps maintain normal cholesterol levels in your blood. However, the overall effects of CLA supplementation depend very much on your eating habits and the use of supplementary supplements (protein, BCAAs, other fat burners).

In general, a diet high in fat and carbohydrates reduces the functionality of CLA, while a high-protein diet high in omega-3 fatty acids can increase it. In general, you should adjust the quantity of all basic substrates to your individual training or diet goals and, above all, supply proteins as constantly as possible throughout the day.

Functionality and mode of action of CLA:

The doubly unsaturated fatty acids CLA occur naturally in meat and dairy products from ruminants, where they are an intermediate product in the biological hydrogenation of linoleic acid to stearic acid in the rumen.

In order to achieve CLA doses in sports nutrition practice through the consumption of milk and meat products, high amounts of saturated fatty acids are simultaneously ingested. However, saturated fatty acids should only be consumed to a limited extent. The replacement of saturated fatty acids by polyunsaturated fatty acids, to which CLA also belongs, in the diet can contribute to maintaining a normal cholesterol level.

Supplementation with CLA is a good way of supplying the organism with the important conjugated linoleic acid without undesirable accompanying substances such as saturated fatty acids. The Peak Supplement also contains a high proportion of the most bioactive isomers (Cis-10 and Trans-12) of linoleic acid, making it an excellent source of CLA.
