CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) belongs to a category of nutrients called fatty acids and is one of the so-called 'good' fatty acids, like omega-3 fats, which our body has an immediate need for. Research results have shown that supplementation with CLA leads to a significant reduction in fat. Recent scientific research proves that there are some fats that not only should not be avoided, but can instead prove useful and effective for maintaining our health and combating certain pathological conditions. Conjugated linoleic acid is one of these 'beneficial' fats. It is a natural substance that, according to recent research, may play a role in addressing obesity. An important aspect regarding the action of CLA is its effect on body composition. Experiments have shown that CLA can reduce body fat levels and increase lean body mass levels. Additionally, CLA has the following actions: stimulates the immune system, reduces cardiovascular diseases and combats diabetes, lowers triglyceride levels, total and 'bad' cholesterol, has antioxidant activity. Sesame seeds have been added to the formula because they further enhance fat burning by stimulating the oxidation of fatty acids in the liver. As with all fatty acids, once CLA enters the body, it can be oxidized by free radicals. Sesame seeds prevent the oxidation of CLA while simultaneously providing benefits to the body without any negative effects.
