Health Benefits

Conjugated linoleic acid is an isomer of linoleic acid, which was discovered in the late 20th century. In recent decades, It has been found that conjugated linoleic acid has many important physiological functions such as regulating blood lipids, immune regulation, and weight loss. It is another extremely important functional lipid, followed by α-linolenic acid and γ-linolenic acid. arachidonic acid, EPA, DHA.

Numerous studies have found that conjugated linoleic acid has many important physiological functions such as lowering blood lipids, resisting atherosclerosis, regulating blood sugar, improving immunity, reducing fat and increasing muscle mass, increasing bone density, and fighting cancer.

The conjugated double bond unique to CLA removes atherosclerotic plaque deposited on vessel wall, restores cell membrane integrity and vascular elasticity, and normalizes blood pressure. CLA lowering blood pressure is not only safe and effective, but also significantly reduces fat content and improves sleep.

The study found that CLA can improve the tolerance of glucose in diabetic rats, enhance insulin sensitivity, and improve the symptoms of hyperinsulinemia. It is considered as a potential drug for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes.

T lymphocytes are a very important immune cell in animals and humans. CLA can effectively promote the division of T lymphocytes and production of specific antibodies in humans, thereby improving the ability to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms and improve immunity.

CLA can achieve the purpose of reducing fat and increasing muscle from the following aspects:

(1) Increasing the rate of fat metabolism, so that the fat taken up in the food is oxidized into muscle cells, and then the energy is effectively utilized;

(2) Increasing the rate of lipid degradation in fat cells, reducing the body fat reserves, and making fat cells smaller;

(3) Reduce the number of fat cells.

CLA increases the body’s myocardial myoglobin, skeletal muscle myoglobin content. Myoglobin the affinity for oxygen of myoglobin is six times higher than hemoglobin. Due to the rapid increase of myoglobin, the ability of human cells to store and transport oxygen is greatly improved, so that exercise training is more effective and the human body is more energetic.

CLA can enhance the fluidity of cell membrane, prevent the proliferation of vascular cortex, maintain the normal function of organ microcirculation, maintain the normal structure and function of cells, enhance the relaxation ability of blood vessels, and effectively prevent the damage of human organs and brain caused by severe hypoxia. In particular, it significantly inhibits lung and spleen edema caused by severe hypoxia.
