Q. What are lipids?
A. Lipids have been classically defined as substances that are generally insoluble in water but soluble in other solvents.
Q. What are the effects of CLA on body composition?
A. CLA works to reduce body fat by preventing fat accumulation in fat cells. Fat normally enters the fat cell through a “door” that is controlled by an enzyme, the “key”. By acting on this enzyme, or “key”, CLA keeps the “door” locked. When the “door” is locked, fat cannot enter the cells thereby not allowing the amount of fat to increase in the cells. The less fat that is present in the cells, the smaller and less mature they become, this helps to reduce the level of fat in the body. The increased breakdown of fat helps to fuel and preserve muscle mass, which in turn increases lean muscle mass.
