The main question of today's article is related to fat loss and to CLA or conjugated linoleic acid. Like green tea, caffeine and so many other ingredients that are popular and known to burn fat, and help with fat loss, CLA safflower oil is also very popular and is known by many to be able to promote fat loss. Does this mean you should use it? Is it safe to be used for fat loss?
The problem with CLA though is that it is unreliable as the results are almost never the same, sometimes it works quite well and offers significant results while other times its benefits may not even be noticeable. It depends on the person but also on the dose used and the time period in which it was used, how much time you followed CLA treatment or should I say, supplementation.
The dose that one must take, of course, depends on factors such as the age and weight of the individual, even gender, which is why it's best to consult your medic before taking CLA supplementation. However, it has been proven in studies and clinical trials that a large dose of over 3 grams, even double that amount should be used otherwise CLA is more or less useless and cannot offer significant effects.In rats it is very effective, as well as other small animals and rodents. So effective it is in fact, that it managed to reduce the fat in rats in a clinical trial by 60%. The potency that it has in humans, though, is greatly decreased for some reason. Also, you must continue to take CLA for two months or more to get some results and when you stop using it, you will start gaining weight unless you make healthy changes to your lifestyle.
