CLA is an important fatty acid that has been shown to reduce the body's ability to store fat and increase the body's use of fat for energy.  CLA reduces the amount of lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme critical to fat synthesis.  When lipoprotein lipase is reduced, more fat is burned off instead of being stored in the body.  Organika ® 's CLA is derived from sunflower oil to ensure that you get the health benefits without the added calories from fat.
