Tonalin® CLA is a safe, scientifically proven, effective nutritional supplement that contains no stimulants of any kind.

First, it may increase and maintain lean muscle, which naturally may slim your body.

Secondly, Tonalin® CLA decreases the amount of fat stored in your body.* The result is as you diet, you may drop a cloth size or two without the dreaded yo-yo effect of losing and regaining weight. Why? Because you are reducing body fat, not water which is a more permanent , healthy loss.

Thirdly, research shows CLA may promote overall well-being in other areas that are currently being studied worldwide. Animal studies suggest CLA may enhance the immune system as well as aid in the maintenance of blood glucose and insulin levels.

Initial research in cells, animals, and humans suggests that CLA may have other valuable benefits in human health, including the improvement of immune health (Cook et al.,1993;Miller et al., 1994;Hayek et al., 1999), heart health (Lee et al., 1994; Deckere et al.,1995;Nicolosi et al., 1997;Gavino et al.,2000), and maintenance of normal blood glucose levels (Houseknecht et al.,1998;Ryder et al.,2001;Belury, 2003).

People used to receive healthy doses of CLA in their diets through regular consumption of beef and dairy fats. However, changes over the past 30 years in the way cattle are raised and in the foods people eat have lowered the amount of CLA people get from their diet.

Cattle are no longer pasture grazed, resulting in a decrease in their internal production of conjugated linoleic acid. Most individuals are concerned with cholesterol and fat so they eat less red meat and dairy products. This eliminates even more CLA from the average diet.

Fortunately, scientists developed a proprietary process to convert the linoleic acid of pure safflower oil, into conjugated linoleic acid. Because it is difficult to obtain an optimal level of CLA through one's diet without over-consuming foods that are high in fat and cholesterol, Cognis distributes Tonalin® CLA to dietary supplement and functional foods manufacturers.

CLA was first identified in 1987 by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The identification of CLA resulted in nine years of experiments by Michael Pariza, PhD. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 1978, Dr. Pariza first noted an extract in beef that appeared to be an anitcarcinogenic. In 1987, he identified this extract as CLA. With this identification, came a surge of scientific studies and research on how CLA affects body mass and other beneficial effects on human health.

Research shows CLA may promote overall well-being in other areas that are currently being studied worldwide. Animal studies suggest CLA may enhance the immune system as well as aid in the maintenance of blood glucose and insulin levels.
