Q. How does CLA actually work to boost fat loss?

A. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) attacks fat in a few different ways. The main way that CLA helps with fat loss is by preventing fat accumulation in fat cells. Normally, fat enters fat cells through a “door” that is controlled by enzymes (“the keys”). CLA inhibits the activity of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase, which is the enzyme responsible for transferring fats from the bloodstream to fat cells. When this enzyme is inhibited, the transport of fat into fat cells is halted in its tracks! When used chronically, CLA can also stimulate fat breakdown by activating norepinephrine, one of the body’s most powerful fat-burning hormones. Finally, CLA has been shown to actually kill and destroy fat cells (the scientific term for this is apoptosis), and this results in a reduction in total fat cells in the body.
