Weight Loss  Naturally diet and exercise are the first ports of call when attempting to lose weight, however it is also possible to take certain natural products which may speed up metabolism or affect the way we absorb fat.

Bio-CLA Conjugated Linoleic Acid £19.95 CLA helps to alter body composition by reducing fat levels and retaining muscle mass. Clinically proven. CLA helps to inhibit the development of cardiovascular disease. CLA increases the discharge of fat from fat cells, enabling the body to alter composition via reducing fat levels, whilst maintaining or increasing skeletal muscle mass. CLA is most effective when combined with a programme of regular physical exercise, e.g. when dieting. The action of CLA is reliant on zinc, and supplementation with CLA is of no benefit if zinc deficiency is also present. CLA (together with other PUFAs) is converted within the body into eicosanoids (prostanoids and leukotrienes), hormone-like substances that regulate blood vessel leakage, lipid accumulation, and inflammatory and immune cell behaviour. Since dietary intake is a primary determinant of fatty acids entering eicosonoid-generating pathways, there is a direct link between the balance of specific fats in the diet and the inflammatory response. It is no longer acceptable to recommend replacement of dietary fats high in saturated fatty acids with PUFAs, since a balance between PUFAs (not just the PUFA/saturated fatty acid ratio) is now known to be important for optimal effect within the body.
