What is TONALIN® CLA?

CLA is conjugated linoleic acid, a fatty acid that is recognized for its role in promoting good health. TONALIN® is the highest quality form of CLA on the market, a licensed brand name owned exclusively by Cognis Group.

How is TONALIN® CLA made?

TONALIN® CLA is made from a proprietary process that converts linoleic acid from safflowers into conjugated linoleic acid. (Safflower is the best source of linoleic acid.)
We take pride in the precise manufacturing and scientific standards used to create TONALIN® CLA. Our proprietary processing ensures the lowest levels of non-naturally occurring isomers (impurities) in our final product. When you choose TONALIN® CLA, you choose a one-of-a-kind, patented product uniquely consistent in purity and quality.

How does TONALIN® CLA work in the body?

CLA works in four parts of our bodies: Adipocytes, Triglycirides, Apoptosis, and CPT.

• Adipocytes are fat cells. Most of our body fat is stored in these cells. CLA decreases the number and size of adipocytes, lowering your body-fat mass.
• Triglycerides are fats. Most of the fat in our food and bodies comes in the form of triglycerides. Once these fats enter your blood, an enzyme called LPL (lipoprotein lipase) transfers them to adipocytes (fat cells) where they are stored. Studies show that CLA decreases LPL activity, so less fat gets stored overall.
• Apoptosis is a process. It’s how our bodies cause fat cells to disintegrate. (It’s also called cell suicide. Seriously.) By increasing the rate at which fat cells disintegrate, CLA decreases the number of existing fat cells stored in your body.
• CPT (carnitine palmitoyltransferase) is another enzyme. It transports fatty acids to the mitochondria where they’re turned into the energy you need to keep going. Additional studies show that CLA increases CPT activity, so fat is burned up faster—leaving less of it hanging around in your body.

Are there any other health benefits of TONALIN® CLA?

TONALIN® CLA is the leading manufacturer to invest in clinical research and applies extensive research and technology to further broaden CLAs benefits. Currently, research shows CLA may promote overall well-being in other areas of the body, including study participants reporting an increase in energy. Additional studies are now being conducted worldwide.

Animal studies suggest CLA may enhance the immune system as well as protect against catabolic effects of immune stimulation. Initial animal studies have also suggested that CLA may aid in the maintenance of blood glucose and insulin.
