CLA Ingredient Manufacturer

CLA, short for conjugated linoleic acid, is the most common omega-6 fatty acid. It is a popular ingredient in weight loss supplements.

Unlike the processed man-made types of unsaturated fats, CLA is a naturally occuring trans-fat — which is one of the main reasons why it is considered the most healthy fatty acid.

Benefits

1. Reduces Body Fat in Animals

According to multiple studies, CLA reduces body fat in animals by boosting the production of enzymes and proteins that are involved in the breakdown of fat.

For instance, this study conducted on mice concluded that supplementing with CLA for six weeks reduced body fat by 70%, compared to the group of mice that was given a placebo. 

Furthermore, multiple recent studies suggest that CLA prevents fat gain in animals. Moreover, a study on pigs concludes that conjugated linoleic acid reduces fat growth in a dose-dependent manner. Meaning that higher doses result in less fat gain.

2. Helps Humans Lose Weight

Research on CLA’s relation with weight loss in humans suggests that this fatty acid is effective. However, the results are not significant.

According to this review of 18 studies, participants who took 3.2 grams of CLA daily lost an average of 0.05 kg (0.11 lbs) per week, compared to those who took a placebo.

Even though the result was considered scientifically significant, it only translates to less than half a pound of weight loss per month.

Furthermore, another study concludes that taking 2.4-6 grams of CLA daily 6-12 months reduces body fat by 2.93 lbs, compared to a placebo.

3. Enhances Muscle Growth

A few recent studies suggest that CLA increases lean muscle mass in humans. However, more research needs to be carried out for confirming these claims.

4. Reduces Risk of Heart Disease

According to this study, people with the highest amount of CLA in their bodies face reduced risk of suffering from certain heart diseases.

5. Lowers Risk of Cancer and Type 2 Diabetes

According to this study, people who get a lot of CLA from natural food sources have a lower risk of suffering from cancer and type 2 diabetes.

 

Health Issues Associated With CLA Deficiency

After reading the previous section, the benefits of CLA become as clear as daylight. 

People deficient in CLA face more risk of:

  • Gaining fat and weight
  • Suffering from certain heart diseases
  • Suffering from cancer or type 2 diabetes

If you want to enjoy the benefits of CLA and reduce your chances of suffering from the problems listed above, add a CLA supplement to your diet.

 

Daily Recommended Intake

According to most studies, 3.4-6 grams of CLA per day is recommended for weight loss. Furthermore, doses of up to 6 grams are considered safe, with no serious adverse side effects.

However, please keep in mind that the higher the amount of CLA dosage you take, the higher your chances of experiencing side effects.

We just completed a very large Homeopathic tablet order that required involvement from 4 different facilities. There was nobody else in the country that was willing to help us that we called until we found superior. First shipment came last week and we couldn’t be happier or more impressed with the team. Thank you Justine, Phil, Stephenie you are the best!

★★★★★
I was choosing between two companies to create a formulation, and it came down to their level of service, expertise and confidence in their ability to execute. After speaking to Phil, their lead guy who knows all things supplements and is very easy to communicate with, was enthusiastic and helped to create a strategy to see my vision through. The last thing you want is a transactional relationship in this industry, so whether you’re a first timer or a veteran, these guys know how to add value no matter what level you’re at. Highly recommend Superior and their team to get the job done.

When they say “Superior” they aren’t kidding. Of over 100 companies on our NSF list that we called, and over 20 that we talked to, Superior was the ONLY one that consistently answered their phones, worked incredibly diligently to problem solve and R&D an incredibly complex patented proprietary product, and consistently was two or three steps ahead of us, the landscape and their competitors. Looking forward to a long relationship Superior!
★★★★★
We’ve been using Superior for over 5 years. We came to them because our last manufacturer stopped making the capsule size I needed. I looked everywhere for a replacement. Luckily, I found Superior. They quoted me a fair price and sourced a hard to find ingredient quickly. In the 5 years we’ve had them make our product, which is a custom formulation, they have never delivered late once. Quality control is very high and I get constant updates from Phil our point person while it is being manufactured. I cannot recommend them enough.
★★★★★
Our previous manufacturer was 3 months late on a production and barely spoke with us. We have run many runs with Superior and as with all manufacturing, there was an order that was a little late because of poor crop growth. Not only did they warn us ahead of time they showed us the list of suppliers they were calling day and night to try to find replacement material. Best company ever!
★★★★★
Jake, Justine and Phil are just a few of the team members we have had the pleasure of working with at Superior. As a marketing agency working in the supplement industry, we work with many suppliers on behalf of our clients. I especially appreciate Superior Supplements Manufacturing because of their dedication to customer relationships. They go to extreme measures to ensure quality ingredients, fair pricing and great turn around times. The staff is also extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this team.
