In a study presented at the Experimental Biology 2002 meeting, CLA alone was shown to cause a substantial decrease in fat mass, and for those who received CLA plus guarana, both adipocyte (fat cell) size and number were decreased by 50%. As an added benefit, sesame lignans have been shown to further increase the burning of fat by stimulating fatty acid oxidation in the liver. As with any fatty acid, CLA can be oxidized by free radicals once it has been ingested. Sesame lignans help prevent the oxidation of CLA, providing health benefits without negative impact.

CLA is a "potent cancer preventative agent in animal studies" (Journal of Nutrition, Dec. 1999). EXPERIMENTAL CELL RESEARCH, JULY, '99 - CLA was shown to prevent mammary cancer. When ingested during the active phase of cancer development, rats were protected from further development of breast cancer. CLA was shown (CARCINOGENESIS) to reduce the size of breast tissue in rats, reducing the incidence of carcinogenesis. It was shown that CLA inhibits the growth of prostate cancer. It can prevent and inhibit certain cancers. CLA has the ability to suppress arachidonic acid. Since arachidonic acid produces inflammatory compounds that can aid cancer proliferation. CLA is a unique supplement because it protects against serious diseases, while effective for losing fat and gaining muscle.
