(please
read this important notice concerning supplement medical claims)
CLA Glyceride provides a high potency
source of conjugated linoleic acid in a well tolerated form. CLA is
a fatty acid that occurs naturally in beef and dairy foods. However,
due to changes in our dietary habits and changes in cattle feed, levels
of dietary CLA have decreased by as much a 65% over the last 30 years.
Scientists now believe that CLA has several roles in maintaining health
including helping support immune function. See below for studies.
BioCare's CLA Glyceride also contains
vitamin E to enhance stability.

Essential Fatty Acids
Fatty acids are the
basic structural units of lipids, which are dietary fats. The body can synthesize
many fatty acids, but those that cannot be manufactured in adequate amounts must
be obtained from the diet. These are called essential fatty acids (EFAs).
Fatty acids are classified
as saturated, monosaturated or polyunsaturated – depending on the amount of hydrogen
in the basic carbon chain of the molecule.
(The process of ‘hydrogenation’ – hydrogenated vegetable oil – involves adding hydrogen
to the molecule to make a polyunsaturated, liquid oil, into a saturated, solid oil,
such as margarine).
Many nutritionists and scientists report Americans consume too much omega-6 fatty
acids and under-consume omega-3 fatty acids. (The terms omega-3 and omega-6
refer to the location of the first double bond in the carbon atom of the fatty acid
molecule.) Including more omega-3-rich foods such as fish in the diet and
decreasing the consumption of omega-6 foods such as some hydrogenated oils, may
help maintain proper hormonal balance and overall health and wellness.
Essential fatty acids offer profound benefits. They help:
-
Influence hormone production, immunity and cardiovascular
health.
-
Maintain the structure and function of the cellular
and sub-cellular membranes.
-
Regulate cholesterol transport, degradation and
removal from the body.
-
Influence prostaglandins – hormone-like substances
that promote smooth muscle contractions, regulate blood pressure, regulate gastric
secretions, and impact other hormones – through a series of enzyme-dependent
reactions.
-
Support normal growth, especially of blood vessels
and nerves.
-
Keep skin and other tissue youthful and supple
by lubricating abilities.
EFAs are most abundant in fish oils and unadulterated seed oils, such as canola,
sunflower and safflower oils. Flaxseed oil is an exceptional oil, containing
both omega-3 and omega-6 in appreciable amounts. Cold saltwater fatty fish
– such as herring, haddock, cod, mackerel, and salmon – are also rich in omega-3
polyunsaturates and serve as the source of fish oil supplements.
The most important fatty acids are linoleic acid, linolenic acid, gamma linolenic
acid (GLA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Omega 6 and omega 3 oils may not be
suitable for individuals taking anti-blood clotting drugs such as Warfarin, Coumarin
and Heparin.
GLA (Evening Primrose Oil) may not
be suitable for people suffering from epilepsy. Fish oils may not be suitable for
people allergic to fish.
