The cancer fighting effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been demonstrated proven through numerous published studies clearly demonstrating CLA’s ability to inhibit cancer growth in a variety of cancers. According to the Journal of Nutrition (December 1999), besides the nutrient’s anti-cancer benefits, it also confers protection against atherosclerosis. Its ability to enhance insulin sensitivity is also cause for hope for those concerned about adult onset diabetes.

Now there is even more good news. Since 1996 when CLA was introduced, researchers have discovered even more positive health effects of this nutrient. One such discovery is CLA’s anti-obesity effect.
Studies show that CLA can be used as an excellent tool for weight management because of its capability to reduce body fat and at the same time maintain lean muscle mass. Studies where mice were fed the human equivalent of 3000 to 4000 mg of CLA a day showed a reduction in body fat of 60% and an increase in lean body mass. Other animal studies demonstrated similar or better results—up to 88% body fat loss in just six weeks.

Human studies have also been very encouraging. According to a study published in the International Journal of Obesity (August 2001), participants in a double blind, randomized study who were given 4.2 grams of CLA per day or placebo, experienced significant decrease in abdominal fat, among the CLA group, in a four-week period.

More recent studies have revealed even more exciting news about CLA’s anti-obesity effects. It seems CLA can reduce the volume of adipocytes, or fat cells, in the body. In a particular study, mice were given CLA or CLA plus guarana, a herb that contains a form of caffeine called guaranine that is 2.5 times stronger than the caffeine found in coffee and other drinks. In just 6 weeks, there was significant reduction in fat mass in both groups. However, the group of mice that were fed the combination CLA/guarana lost fat because the size and number of adipocytes decreased, while the CLA only group lost fat due to a reduction in fat cell size alone (FASEB Journal, v. 16, no. 5, pt. I; March 22, 2002).

Importantly, the guaranine does not cause a caffeine rush some people may experience when drinking coffee. The slow-releasing compound, which releases into the system in over as much as 6 hours, temporarily increases body temperature and metabolism, resulting in fat loss.

One can thus conclude that the combination of guarana and CLA could have a profound effect on controlling weight and preventing obesity.
