To lose weight, it's not enough to just exercise; you also need to understand how to eat healthily. In the past, among numerous sports supplements, L-carnitine has been highly regarded as a fat-burning material, but now, as research continues to deepen, CLA has become increasingly popular among fitness enthusiasts. When CLA meets L-carnitine, this combination becomes a tool for weight loss through exercise.
Reduce Body Fat and Lower Waist-hip Ratio
If you frequently browse professional fitness supplement websites such as Bodybuilding or Netrition, then CLA is definitely not a stranger to you. In fact, there is even a real-time best-selling list specifically for CLA on the bodybuilding bestseller list. Why is CLA so popular among fitness enthusiasts, especially those who want to lose weight through exercise? This has to do with the mechanism of action of CLA.
CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is one of the essential fatty acids that the human body cannot synthesize and must obtain from food. It is mainly found in beef and lamb meat and dairy products. Animal and human experiments have confirmed that CLA can reduce body fat, increase lean body mass, and lower waist-hip ratio. Due to the distribution of CLA, its weight loss effect has a certain degree of targeting. As CLA is primarily distributed in visceral adipose tissue, it can effectively target visceral fat. In addition to adipose tissue, CLA is also mainly distributed in skeletal muscle, so it can prevent muscle protein breakdown during the weight loss process. Therefore, weight loss with CLA does not cause a decrease in basal metabolism, which is an important basis for avoiding rebound.
In tests among fitness enthusiasts, CLA has also shown significant performance in weight loss and body sculpting.
A study of 20 healthy fitness enthusiasts with a BMI of less than 25 kg/m2 (exercising 3 times a week for 90 minutes each time) showed that taking 1.8g of CLA with meals three times a day resulted in a significant decrease in body fat at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after taking CLA (p<0.01) compared to the control group. Another study of 76 people who regularly engaged in strength training (3 times a week) showed that taking 3.5g of CLA continuously for 7 weeks resulted in an increase in lean body mass of 1.4kg (p<.05) and a decrease in body fat of 0.8kg (P<0.05) among the CLA group. Thus, it can be seen that conjugated linoleic acid can effectively help fitness enthusiasts improve muscle endurance and increase lean body mass.
To Achieve Good Weight Loss Results Through Exercise, "CLA + L-carnitine" Is Essential.
L-carnitine is an amino acid that is essential in the process of fat metabolism. It is a necessary coenzyme that can promote the oxidation and decomposition of fatty acids in the mitochondria. During exercise, L-carnitine can greatly improve exercise performance. It can promote the metabolism of fat in the body, release a large amount of energy, make the body energetic during exercise, and effectively relieve exercise fatigue, leading to faster recovery after exercise. Therefore, taking L-carnitine before exercise can increase the rate of fat burning and help you get rid of fat during exercise.
When L-carnitine Is Combined With CLA, The Effect of Fat Cell Decomposition Is Even Better.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial studied the effects of a mixture of four amino acids (lysine, proline, alanine, and arginine) and conjugated linoleic acid on healthy overweight individuals before and after exercise.
41 healthy participants (BMI 23-30 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to receive a placebo or one of three test supplements: amino acid mixture 0.76 g/day; amino acid mixture 1.52 g/day; or amino acid mixture 1.52 g/day with co-administration of conjugated linoleic acid 1.6 g/day. Each treatment was administered for 12 weeks during the 30 minutes before and after daily exercise, which was guided by a sports expert. The results showed that the waist and hip circumference of the amino acid mixture + CLA group were significantly reduced compared to the placebo group. The above study suggests that taking amino acids + CLA before and after exercise can enhance the weight loss effect during exercise and promote fat burning.
With the support of the entire industry chain, the CLA as the weight loss tool for exercise is coming soon. HSF Biotech as the manufacturer of CLA and L-carnitine has the highest purity of up to 95% and is backed by strong patent technology. More importantly, under full supply chain production and management, HSF CLA series products have various dosage forms such as oil, emulsion, microencapsulated powder, etc., to meet different customer needs. Furthermore, through HSF's proprietary microencapsulation technology for L-carnitine raw materials, product hygroscopicity is significantly reduced, enhancing sensory characteristics and fluidity, making it widely used in solid beverages, capsules, tablets, and other fields.
