CLA reduces the storage of fat by inhibiting the transport of fat from the blood into the fat cells (blocks lipoprotein lipase). CLA also increases the activity of hormone sensitive lapses, which result in the breakdown of stored fat. CLA prevents the storage of fat & promotes the breakdown of fat stores. It therefore assists in the reduction of stored fat around the abdomen, buttocks, & thighs. It also ensures lean muscle gains leading to a leaner & more toned physique. CLA has also been shown to reduce cholesterol levels & regulate blood sugar levels.
