Solgar - CLA Tonalin Conjugated Linoleic Acid - 60 Softgels

This Solgar product is a natural derivative of safflower oil, Tonalin C.L.A. reduces the absorption and storage of fat. Tonalin CLA Solgar also promotes muscle mass to refine your figure. The body can not synthesize this conjugated fatty acid, says C.L.A., which must be brought by the diet. CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) acts on two enzymes, it inhibits the protein lipase on the one hand, enzyme responsible for breaking down fat to store it in adipose tissue cells (adipocytes) in the form of triglycerides. By inhibiting this enzyme, CLA helps to reduce and prevent the storage of fat in adipose tissue. On the other hand, CLA increases the activity of carnitine palmytoyltransferase, an enzyme responsible for transporting fatty acids to the power plants of cells (mitochondria) where fats are converted into energy. CLA thus promotes the preservation of muscle mass by burning more calories from fat.
