Frequently Asked Questions
If I take CLA 500, do I still need to
exercise?
Yes. Exercise is important for healthy weight loss and
weight maintenance. An ideal exercise program should
include aerobic exercise, resistance training, and
flexibility training. Aerobic exercise, such as
walking, running, biking, or swimming, helps burn
calories and improves overall fitness. Resistance
training, using free weights, resistance bands, or
weight machines, helps build strength and tone
muscles. Flexibility training helps increase your
range of motion, relieve tight muscles, and prevent
injury.
How long should I keep taking CLA 500?
You may take it, as directed on the label,
for as long as you like.
What's the difference between CLA from
safflower oil and CLA from sunflower oil?
CLA from safflower oil is identical to CLA
from sunflower oil. The main benefit of safflower oil
is that, gram for gram, it provides a richer source,
which allows us to deliver a more concentrated form in
a smaller capsule.
How is CLA different from Omega-3 fatty acids?
CLA belongs to the Omega-6 family of fatty
acids, not the Omega-3 family. They have a different
chemical structure. Omega-6 fatty acids are typically
found in sunflower, safflower, and other plant oils,
while Omega-3 fatty acids are typically found in fish.
Each family of fatty acids can produce biologically
active compounds that affect circulatory health, heart
rate, fat metabolism, and immune function. However,
the types of compounds they each can form affect the
body differently.
What is the difference between the CLA product
and chromium picolinate?
Chromium picolinate is a source of the trace
mineral chromium. It's an ideal complement to CLA,
because it is involved in the metabolism of
carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
