CLA was found in SOME - I repeat, SOME studies to increase fat metabolism, but the results were accompanied by a host of other unpleasant changes in bloodwork, and there is a huge gap in the research. It will NOT add lean muscle mass - or at least, I am unaware of any scientifically validated claims to such. Of course, this hasn't stopped the (unregulated) supplement companies from marketing it as a "natural" weight loss pill. If you are expecting to take CLA as a weight loss aid, then I suggest you move on. Weight loss pills do nothing for long-term weight loss, because the cause of 99% of weight gain is going to be...problematic eating behavior. You’ve got it wrong.
